April Showers? You mean April Blizzards!

 Couple of things! 

First, I got my first bruise of what I assume to be many with my hookswords. The scars that I shall bear are naught but trophies for my final form!! But in all seriousness the bruise is small and I was swinging a little out of my range at the current level I possess. It shall not deter me though and I am excited to see what I can do with them.

NUMBER 2! Babe is getting bigger and is thinking that all of my abdominal space is for the taking. So once again I have had to find my limits on what I can and cannot do. Which I mean is a great thing because I don't think that I every thought about what limits I had before. But with them constantly growing I am having to adjust to something new every week. I can only hope that even after baby is born I remember to find out what limits me ( in Kung Fu or otherwise) and adjust to them accordingly!

Have a wonderful night everyone!

Hook, Line and Sinker

 Lets talk about weapons. This year I decided that my weapon of choice is the Hookswords, the flying knives, the long curvy swords. There is no forgiveness in this weapon as my Ms. Lee demonstrated to me last year with her many, many, many bruises. And scrapes. And close calls with heavy pointed pieces of metal swinging at the side of the head. Terrifying. And exhilarating and wonderful. 

I feel that I have a small grasp on the concept of the weapon. The fact that I chose a dual weapon this year was not a mistake, but what I wanted to grow in. Last year when I was doing the dual broadsword I enjoyed the feeling of moving everything at the same time. At that might be something that I have to work on. I know that it is something I have to work on. With any weapon or form that I work on. Finishing moves when I settle into a stance. Having the confidence the throw the weapons and become a living helicopter. 

So to sum it up. I feel confident enough in my weapon this year, buuut, I also know that it is a completely different weapon than last year. I know that I  have many resources that I can reach out if I need it this year. I for sure am going to use it.

Have a wonderful Easter weekend everybody!
