    -Man, this class was brutal! I just fumbled a bunch of the basic combos. And my hip is acting up again, so my kicks were terrible. Sifu's nephew (who is also a Sifu) was teaching the class and I could just feel him looking at me in shame :(
    -But honestly, my head just wasn't in it tonight. Guess that's the real lesson for tonight...always get your head right.

    Thirty Minutes of Forms

    Like it says on the label, folks. Worked on Chong Keun and Sam Lei Kuen for a good solid thirty minutes. And every time I'd mess up, I'd start it again from the beginning.

    Focused on keeping the stances low, my shoulders loose and really doing it with good...er...form.

    Kung Fu Sparring Time!

    So much for gently easing into class after a holiday. Sifu John, our Sifu's more intense nephew ran the class. And it was definitely a workout.

    We started with 50 jumping jacks, 25 push ups, 25 sit ups and 10 burpees. That right there exhausted half the class (which suggests that we're really out of shape).

    From there, we went straight into reflex training. We paired off and had to throw a certain strike (jab, cross or hook) when our partner held his/her target in a certain position.

    We spent the rest of the night working on speed. We broke up into groups for point sparring. Any time any group scored a point, we'd all stop and reset. The goal was to build up our reaction time. "Don't think! Just move!" was the mantra of the night.

    We continued doing variations of this drill all night.

    I did okay. I won a few rounds and lost a few rounds. Which is definitely an improvement since a few months ago I never scored any points.

    Unfortunately, when the pressure's on ALL of us reverted back to our comfort zones. I kept opening with the same moves, falling back on the same combinations, etc...

    Then we got a chance to watch Sifu John spar. That guy needs to be a Martial Arts star! It was a terrific demonstration of actual Kung Fu fighting. I'd say he was fast as lightening. In fact, I'd say it was a little bit frightening. ;)

    Seriously, it was amazing. He rarely repeated any moves, constantly varied up his techniques and his hits were clean and precise. It was a great definition of our form in motion.

    I left feeling both disheartened and inspired.

    Notes:
    -Fitbit results from today: 646 calories, avg heart rate of 129 BPM, max heart rate of 173 BPM.
    -My roundhouse kicks are getting much better. I can almost get my right leg kick to head height. The left leg is a little more restricted. But they both have the proper snap and power.
    -Based on our warm up, I'm in better shape than most of my class mates. Feel like my heart rate is unusually high when compared to earlier classes, though. Could be that I'm working harder now that my hip doesn't hurt anymore. (shrug)

    -Good to work the forms with Sifu. Often when we do them fast, we miss key transition moves. By doing them slowly we a) understand the purpose of the form better and b) get all the nuances of the form.

    Kung Fu Sparring Time!

    Good class tonight! Started out a little touch 'n' go as only the youngsters and newbies were there. Then, one or two of the more advanced students came in.

    One of the older students warmed us up with a three minute horse stance, which I found a little odd for a sparring class. But much to my surprise, it really helped loosen up the legs!

    We did a lot of combination and evasion drills for the new folks and only had about 10 minutes of actual sparring time.

    But it was a lot of fun!

    We broke the class up into groups (newbies, girls and older guys). There were only two us older guys and sparring partner started out the same time I did, so we were both the same rank.

    Then somehow, he snuck into the last rank test and got his blue-purple belt! And he's actually improved (so he's a little better than me now...which is great!)

    So Sihing Mike had to two us spar for a couple of minutes. Then he'd call break and coach us, then let us go for thirty seconds. Then break give us more coaching. Lather, rinse repeat for the rest of the night. It was awesome!

    The two best bits of advice he gave us both was "Have intent when you strike" and "Don't stay in one place, move in and out".

    Anyway, it was a good match up. The was probably the most tiring ten minutes of my life!

    Notes:
    -Fitbit results from today: 499 calories, avg heart rate of 115 BPM, max heart rate of 155 BPM
    -When both of us "relaxed" into the round, we were much more versatile in our strikes. It was no longer just side kicks and round house kicks. We used inside crescent kicks, outside crescent kicks, low scoop kicks. Felt like real kung fu!
    -Our last round was hands only and man has my technique suffered! That used to be my forte. I used to be really good at feinting and setting up combos. Definitely a little rust there.
    -But at least my footwork's improved!

    Work Out Time!

    Worked from home today, so I had a chance to do a combo kung fu/gym fu workout. Here's how it went down:

    -Waist Rotations w/Staff
    -High Heel Kicks - 10r, 20l (*see notes)
    -Side Kicks - 10/side
    -Slow Sam Lei Keun
    -Shadow Box - 2 min

    -Cable Curl - 40 lbs - 2 x 15
    -Horse Stance - 2 min

    Notes:
    -Fitbit results from today: 297 calories, avg heart rate of 97 BPM, max heart rate of 135 BPM
    -Realized that the problem with my kicks is actually with my LEFT leg (go figure). I don't "tuck" my hip when I do it, which impedes my reach and power. So I'm working on getting that corrected. Thus, twice as many on the left side.

    -Sifu likes to mess with our collective minds every so often. So he'll throw us a curve ball like the variations of the warm up kicks (which are usually done with the rear leg).
    -However, I liked these since the majority of the kicks used in our style are front leg.
    -Really liked the way we did those step/pivot drills as a build up to the sweep techniques. That helped me get the mechanics down.

    Kung Fu Sparring Time!

    Good class tonight. Did a nice mix of combination drills, evasion drills, free sparring and point sparring.

    I did okay. In free sparring, I was better than less skilled opponents, not as good as more skilled opponents (read; "higher ranked") and on par with people around my rank.

    The challenge for me tonight was thinking like a fighter...picking my shots, setting up feints and using counters.

    Sihing Mike had some great advice last time about "having intent".

    Every move should have a purpose. For example, if I'm doing a jab to draw an opponent out, I should have a several potential follow ups stacked up. If I'm going for a straight attack, I should have a target in mind.

    It sounds like common sense (and it is). But in the heat of the moment, it's hard to find that mindset. This, I'm sure, will happen with practice and time. But I'm a little bummed about my performance tonight.

    -I'm thinking of switching the Gym stuff to early morning before I go to work. That way I can get it behind me and enjoy the rest of the day. Plus I always feel more energized when I do that.
