Practice

This is always my favorite time of the year, preparing for the New Year banquet. Everyone comes together to produce amazing results. Every year I have been involved with the I Ho Chuan this has been the case and I can see it coming again this year. I am proud and pleased with the effort many of us have made in the last few weeks to put together our demo, considering how difficult this year seemed to be for us.

Developing a demo and a new lion dance is by far my favorite part of the whole experience. Creativity is at its peak and team engagement is strong. I am amazed by what we come up with and what we accomplish with so little time. This year is the closest I have seen with regards to practice time and we are making it happen. I am very excited for the lion dance, this one is sure to be amazing! As always it is my favorite part of learning kung fu, the conditioning and practice it requires benefits the rest of your practice immensely. 

Reviewing my form and techniques in the demo via video has been a great tool for me. Actually seeing what I am doing as opposed to what I think I am doing allows me to develop more eye for detail. I can see what others could see and can correct accordingly. I appreciate Sifu Csillag filming our practices for us, it has been a great help.

I feel quite energized following our last practice, I can't until the next one, if we remain consistent we will have this nailed down.
