All is going well in my UBBT world. My physical requirements are progressing on schedule, and are enhanced by the high volume snow removal work that we are all experiencing in the Edmonton, Alberta area. It is rewarding to help out families and neighbors with their snow clearing and random acts of kindness are benefiting from this snowfall. We live in the country and there are many neighbors without tractors and blades to clear their yards and driveways.
I have recorded 57 forms practiced year to date, including today, and I know that, outside of regular kung fu classes, this is more practice than I committed to forms for all of last year. I am not proud of this but here is the benefit this year. I am not spending time remembering the sequences, stances, techniques, and flow of each form, but I am now focusing on specific details within each form. Hence, I am developing an "eye for detail". Everyday I feel my forms are improving and I am starting to develop a confidence level that I have not had before. I have been, and am planning to continue, asking two specific form questions at each weekly Sihing class and then implementing the knowledge for the next week of forms practice. Also I want to thank Sifu Prince for the ''PhysOut" program for UBBT goal tracking. This is a great tool for managing goal progress! Have fun all, the snow is forecasted to subside this evening!!
