day 153: basic swordsmanship

forms:

• kuen wu jian

the heat for Sunday was forecast to be less than Saturday, but it ended up hitting the same temp of 103 degrees in Pasadena. so go figure. as you might imagine, we only had 3 people show up: me, Phunsak, and Alex. given the little we were able to do today, i'm keeping this post short.

Alex had originally wanted to try and continue with mock rounds, so as to practice being judges and referees. but with the turnout being too low to hold mock jian shu fights, we ended up just working on kuen wu jian.

we did a number of repetitions of the kuen wu jian form, stopping at a number of points to try and refine the movements. Alex has never finished this form, and so was also trying to catch up with what we've done.

this consumed most of the time, and we ended up leaving a little early before noon to get out of the heat and get some lunch.
