Click -

Last class on Tuesday was a really long class, not in a negative way but in the way that it was like I made a whole journey. We were doing stift swinging kick to spin and at first I was just sort of doing it mindlessly but the after a few people asked their questions one popped into my head. Although the way I asked the question still doesn’t even make complete sense to me but I eventually got an answer. And looking back I still don’t really know what I was trying to ask. But after I asked the question it was kind of like I started to pick up on little things I was doing. Which was good and bad. Because I got stuck on one thing. This was that I was moving forward when I spun and I couldn’t really figure out why I was. Later in class sifu rybak called me over to watch someone else doing the kick. It took me a second but then it clicked. I was slightly lifting my center. It seems so obvious now but it took so long (felt like so long) of doing the kick to figure it out. Now I have it a little figured out mentally (as I still have so much to learn about it) and I just have to get my body to work the way I want it to. 
Looking back I was having trouble with a spin in tai chi and I might of been lifting my center in a weird was as well? I will practice this! And my kick!

Routine

Last week I had my last diplomas! I am officially done high school! It’s a big relief but at the same time there is now the stress of what comes next. I have liked school for the reason of having a routine but now I have to work on myself in making my own routine. This will include food, exercise, sleep, and just making sure that I don’t spend as much time just laying in bed.  Having the coffee zoom this morning(Sunday), we talked about eating habits. And I know people have told me again and again how eating properly will change your life for the better. But our conversation this morning really shifted something in me. I have always wanted to do certain things but can’t seem to keep the motivation. But in blogging about it I hope it causes me to feel the need to continue.  I plan to do some research on which foods are the best, and which ones I should stay away from. As well I will look into which food can help me sleep better. If anyone has any advice I would be happy to hear...

The good and bad

Last week I had a lot of ups and downs. For instant one minute I would be full of energy and the next I would want to crawl into a corner. This made things a lot harder. I would find it took a lot of energy to do simple tasks, like even getting out of bed. Even this blog is being published later then I wanted. When I get down I sort of just close off and just shut everything out. Which in retrospect it's not a good thing. I have been trying moving to a new location(like from one room in the house to another), and sometimes it works but other times it doesn't. But within all the harder moments there were good. One of which was hanging with my friend, we bleached t-shirts over the weekend which was really fun. And I have gone on some deep dives in kung fu which have been really cool! So even though I see a lot of harder times there is also lots of good.  push ups - 1000 Sit ups - 1015 Hand form - 255 Weapon - 205 Kilometres - 697 Aok - 491 Blogs - 21 +1 Sparring - 125 Personal :...

Shifting

Over the last while I have been missing kung fu, I had to miss a few classes due to having school work and just changing perspectives. But yesterday I was able to attend tai chi and I am so thankful that I decided to go. From not be able to go over the last little bit I was sort of nervous to 'come back' because I was kind of scared of what people would think. But in retro-spectre I shouldn't have been nervous because this is my journey and it doesn't necessarily matter what others think.  Over the last month-ish, I have been practicing/focusing on shifting weight. Like in tai chi I shift forward and backwards quite slowly and I am able to feel where in my body the weight is going, like through my leg down to my foot(but in more detail , I normally have more weight in the ball of my foot when shifting forward. But when shifting back I found my weight goes straight down my leg into my heal.  This has developed into more insights in my training. When doing a kung fu form ...
