Spear

 My weapon this year is spear. I’ve had my spear for years and years now by never really bothered learning it. BUT I WANT TO LEARN IT NOW. I wanted a new weapon this year and my spear was there in my room looking at me. During my one on one today I asked a couple questions about the spear; where to hold it from the back (how far from the end), and about the thrusts at the start of the form. My only concern is my ceiling. It’s only 8ft. I guess I’ll need to practice in the kitchen. I’ve already thought of a spear form and tried a few techniques. Slow progress with a weapon I’ve never used before. If anyone wants to help me and teach me the spear form I’d be grateful.

Worth

 For the entirety of May I was on a dark underground journey with myself. I analyzed everything about myself, where I am, and what I want to become. It got dark. Not going to get into specifics but it was a lot of talk with myself in a mirror or my car or to myself throughout the day. To keep it appropriate I kept telling myself “you need to win Owen. Because you have no other choice.” I feel we all have taken ourselves to this level before. It definitely made me more aware of the consequences when I don’t do something I need to do. I am comfortable where I am right now, but comfort kills progression. And without progression, we don’t get better.  Numbers: P/U: 13765 S/U: 12047 Forms: 125/113 Sparring: 16 AoK: 268 Mileage: 378.93km

Packing Up

 It has been none stop at the house to get everything ready before we move. We’ve done countless trips out to the storage unit and to my grandpas to store some of our equipment. I’m not a great people person when I comes to living close to one another. I just feel like I have no personal space and that everyone can hear you even when your inside your house. And with us moving into town I’m worried about crime. So I’ll be taking some extra steps to make sure my belongings aren’t in my car as much as they used to be. I haven’t gotten a lot done with my numbers but I’m still getting some done every day.  Numbers  P/U: 12548 S/U: 10580 Forms: 108/102 Sparring: 8 AoK: 237 Mileage: 302.56km

Year of the Horse

I am excited with what is happening next year for the I Ho Chaun team. Growth cannot happen without change no matter how comfortable it may feel. The less we change and challenge ourselves the easier it is for mediocrity to enter our life. And like I said on Thursday, if your not going to be on the team text year use that as a tool to keep yourself disciplined on your journey to be in the team in the future. I try my best to look at the positives that come with most change, because you can’t control that it’s happening so you might as well go in to it with a positive outlook because being negative about it won’t help you get better.  Numbers P/U: 37500 S/U: 34200 Forms: 624/650 Sparring: 161 AoK: 593 Mileage: 913.53km
