Now that Keith is off on his house hunting tour, Andy is back to teaching me. Our additional zoom student disappeared so I've got Andy all to myself. Since I did the hardcore run through of basics and kicking drills yesterday, we went straight to forms.
Using the whole hour on forms means that I have to remember a lot of corrections. I've only got three, but my head can get filled pretty quick especially if they are small things. I got a lot of compliments on improvement, but I was still mumbling the fixes out loud in attempt to remember.
At one point Andy was trying to get me to understand a movement out of bassai and demoed on me. It was a throw! Oh man I thought that was going to hurt, but I ended up being suspended from the floor. For 70 years of age, Andy is incredibly strong. He then picked me up from the suspended state. I couldn't help but laugh.
The weekly lesson is Soo Gi/Wah Gi. Fire and water.
The block is water, but the chamber is fire. The metaphor extends from there, but I can see myself in the test going slack jawed trying to remember.
