On Monday I finished spear. It is not as long as I was led to believe. However, it is still very long. After running through all of spear a couple of times. I decided it would be best if I ran through all the other forms I know. This worked out not as well as I had hoped it would. I ran through Hua Chuan 4 with out any issue. I had to run through Hua Chuan 2 twice, as the first time I ran into a few brain farts. Hua Chuan 1 was fine, save one question towards the end. The when it came to Dwen Da, I made a fool out of my self. I need to do that form a bunch in the next week or so, as I feel really weak in it. I stumbled my way through most of it, and had to ask questions about what came next early on. Not good at all. On a side note, I did buy a leg stretcher, So I am working on significantly increasing my flexibility. I want to be able to do a full split with in a about a years time. I figure by June 2008 I should be able to do a split. I will keep everyone informed on my progress, and how it is working out. The stretching machine is simple. It is a chair, with two leg rests. Each leg rest has a side piece to it, that holds your leg in place. There is a steering wheel in the center. The more you turn the wheel, the wider your legs are stretched. I am currently doing about an hour on it a day while watching TV. This way I can relax, and work out at the same time. hopefully it will all work out.
