I was so excited after open training this week. Sifu T. Beckett helped me finish the 18 Temple Motions form. I can feel this form is already helping with centering and with stances. Sifu Beckett also helped with a few of my areas where I was over-exaggerating my motions thus throwing off my center. Funny how that all relates together.
I am a person that needs to go over and over and OVER a form before it cements into my head so I practised until I was sure I could remember it when I got home. My plan was to go home and video tape myself so I would remember the form for next week. Things got busy so I was going to tape it tonight. Guess what? I couldn't remember all the moves! I was so disappointed. I almost just gave up but then I thought if I lost this much in one day, how much am I going to lose tomorrow. I looked it up online and step by step filled in the spots that I missed. I am now back to where I was yesterday but I know that if I don't practice it again tomorrow, I will slip back and not move forward.
Here's to moving forward....
We can go over it again, don't be so hard on yourself, it happens to all of us.
