Well, didn't work on straight sword much, but I did work on basics with the rest of the class! At least most of basics. Didn't do jumps. No way in hell I was going to do that after being gone for about 2 months!!! HELL NO!! But I'm surprised that I even did that much tonight. I went with the sole intention of only working on straight sword basics, and no Wushu basics! No stance or kicking drills, or combos. But I still managed to do them! But I didn't focus on kicking so high orf ast. Just keeping it all clean. Don't want to be too sore after my first night back and also my first night of active!!! I've been almost completely INACTIVE for those 2 months! And just working on the straight sword basics Sunday afternoon for about 45 minutes made me a little bit sore!!
But I got a couple more things to play with when I practice my straight sword. Just start flowing with it and putting some things together. I did a little bit of it tonight and it was fun. Something new. And I was told that my spins were pretty good except that I need to not rotate my upper body so much when bringing the blade back in front. Broadsword habit I guess. LOL! But I'm getting better. Also put another raquet grip around the handle and I seem to be able to hold on to it better. The handle is thicker and also more cushioned. Also shortened my tassle a bit more. My straight sword is my new baby. LOL! She's a little bit heavy according to some of my other friends, but she's a hell of a lot lighter then my old broadsword!! And I was getting fast with that little stinker!! LOL! My straight sword and new broadsword feel like NOTHING in comparison!! LOL!
So I'm happy now!
Me Wushuing again!
