Yeah StockJockey, I have only been going for 9 months or so, 3 days a week, so I am still very new and crappy. In my defense I am the only girl at my school who free spars (regularly, and attends free spar in addition to regular forms class) , and if I am fighting boys of around my skill level, well, I win or dominate just as much as they do, so I guess I am not that crappy, the more advanced students, well that is different story ( and obviously should be).
but yeah my foot work sucks, my striking and blocking is far superior. I can actually "feel" my brain telling my legs to do something ... it is like they are on a delay, it takes forever for them to respond.
And the kung Fu has certainly stuck just like weightlifting, so I am there obstensively for the long hall. this form is a minimum 10 yearsr to mastery,( I want that snazzy red belt, and the whoopass that comes with it, HAHA).
Thanks chris, those videos are some of the drills that were listed in my links, and I can do that im my house, so I appreciate the validation!
I used to jump rope.... what last year for 5 months or so, it shakes my fish tank something aweful, and I don't have the room to do the trickey foot work, but maybe I can reevalute that. I'm a big girl extra cardio won't hurt me ; )
