Ask Questions?

Our Sihing class on Friday night was great.  At the end of our class we always have an opportunity to ask questions and there are always a couple questions that we receive answers and clarification for.  This most recent Friday, Sifu Freitag "encouraged" each of us to ask a question.  The result was tremendous.  There are many things that I am somewhat unsure of as it relates to our Kung Fu cirriculum, and now there are a few less as a result of the 10 questions clarified in class. More specifically, I am clear on the following:

Opening and closing a horse stance
Breathing in a horsestance
The five knife hands in Kempo
The final step in Stick 3
Sleeping hammers in 18 temple motions and the suttle difference in kempo

In each of these above I was able to take away a specific detail that provided a clarification that I did not have before.  Asking a question is a simple concept, but following through adds a tremendous benefit and when applied to a group the synergy is amazing.  Thank you for the encouragement Sfiu Freitag!!
