Wishing for spring

It's kind of the same old same old this week. Open training and fitness class on Saturdays has become something I really look forward too. The fitness class has been a great stress reliever...it's good to get really sweaty and disgusting sometimes. Open training has been an opportunity to work through the curriculum with the other Sihings. I feel lucky to be part of such a good group going for black belt this year, everyone is really supportive and most of us are part of the UBBT group as well which adds to the camaraderie.

This week in practice I realized that I'd been doing a move wrong in 2 different forms- one in the opening bow-ouch! and the same for a few techniques, just small things I've slowly changed over time that have officially gone awry at this point. This just proves to me that practice is always important- even when I think I know something in and out there is always room for improvement. That being said, I'm going to get some reps and practice in. My goal this week is to concentrate hard enough that all the snow melts!
