Finding Rhythm

 I’m starting to find some rhythm with my sword form. I’ve learned almost the whole form, with only a few more moves at the end to go. I’ve tried to practice these last few moves from the livestream video, but am having a difficult time with the flow, so I don’t think I am doing them correctly. 

I’m working on the flow with the form, and breaking down the techniques to get them correct, while still feeling how it connects together in the form. Sword one is feeling pretty good, two is coming along, and three is still fairly new, but probably my favorite part of the form. 

I’m also feeling good with my rhythm in the rest of my training. It took me a bit to find a good schedule to fit everything in in the week, with going down to two scheduled classes for myself, and attending the two other classes as an observer.. I’ve enjoyed attending the other classes, and soaking up the knowledge given. I’m certainly there to help where I am able, but not quite sure of my role yet. 

I’m also really excited about a project I have planned for myself coming up. More to come on that.
