Mindful Practice - "Stick Form" this week

Hello all, this week's training has me focusing on our "stick" form.  I did 10 reps last night and saw great improvement in technique and speed.  The biggest thing I worked on is the mental aspect of a focusing on a specific form, at a specific moment in time.  Before practicing, I spent a little time emptying my mind to ensure that I could focus on nothing other than what I was practicing.  This really worked for me.  Normally when I am practicing kung fu, there are always a number of other things that I am thinking about at the same time.  The things Sifu Brinker repeats to us all the time are starting to sink in.

Where am I and what am I doing
Mindful practice
Living in the moment

Wish everyone a great training week!!
