This week I started sparring for the first time. I have been nervously antiscipating sparring since I got my orange belt. I'm not afraid to spar. I was more nervous that I would not have proper control and do something that injured someone else or even myself.
Sifu Masterson was prepared and reminded everyone that it was my first time sparring. I have to thank everyone in my class that I sparred with. Everyone was patient and helpful by going slow and trying to show me the openings that I wasn't seeing yet.
I truly enjoyed the class and it was an awesome learning experience. It is definately another level of intensity in this class. I am learning so much each day that only a few things are sticking in my head atm, but thats ok I am happy to just be making progress. I have really taken to working hard on form first. The rest will follow. My journey in Kung Fu has really only just begun. But it is a journey I am thoroughly enjoying and I look forward to each day more and more. As my wife says I seem to have found my niche, I can't disagree with that.
