I finished week 17 with a forms workshop on saturday. 5 hours of doing Kempo1 and learning about 2/3's of kempo2. I so enjoyed this. It was hard and I managed to get some of the worst blisters I have ever had on my feet. But I learned so much about the form and what I needed to work on. I can't thank Sifu Wonsiak enough for putting up with this old fart for that whole time. As they say the devil is in the details. And there are so many little things that I will aways be working on to improve my forms. Good thing I enjoy doing them so much.
My classes this week were a little off due to the blisters that tore open right at the end of the workshop (who knew a hardwood floor was so much tougher then my feet). I'm gonna have to start going barefoot more often I guess to toughen up the bottoms of my feet. My feet being a bit tender made doing some of the techniques in class a bit challenging but I soldered on and did the best I could.
I beginning to realize that for me learning Kung Fu isnt just about reconditioning and learning the techniques. But also how to work through the aches, pains etc that are naturally going to occur.
