la_belle_laideKay so, yes, another Kung Fu pic spam, but this one has a point, I mean it. This is the pic spam from the Dan Dao seminar on Sunday, the 2 hour broad-sword class. All of us who've been there for years and years and years pretty much know it, or a version of it, but these seminars are to A) teach the new people and B) fine-tune what we do know, so that we actually do it right instead of the lazy way you start doing things after a few years. Like, with forms, you really do forget some of the most important details. ("Oh, you step with your left foot..." "I've been angling the sword wrong for three years!" etc.)
Since it was a Sunday and I had no one to watch Haku for me, I had to ask Sifu if I could bring him along. Happily, Sifu said yes. So I set up a blanket for him to lie on and tied him by a bungee to one of the punching bag rigs. He lay there quite calmly for the most part, only occasionally whining at me out of anxiety or whatever.
It was over two hours of hardcore broad-sword form, hitting all the stances and whatnot. Just about after the second hour, my knee started to swell up and get crunchy. But there was only a bit to go, and I didn't want to miss it. Let me tell you, I could hardly effing walk yesterday and today.
I took vids of a lot of it, so as to have something to look over when I start to forget it again. Some of these are screencaps of videos, and some are photographs taken by various people. It's rare that everyone shows up for something (and actually, not everyone did, but most did,) so we all had our cameras out.
My two favorite pics are the one of the entire class, and the one of just Snarklit, Gold Dragon, and me.
So here is a picspam!
(I love Haku's face in that one, like he just can't figure out what they are doing.
These are my favorites and I'm not gonna cut them. :D
^_^
So, that was a really cool day!
Today is Tuesday and I went to Camp Hero to collect some stuff for my help_japan auction. That's a whole 'nother story and set of pictures, people. I'll try to get those up tomorrow. SPOOKY is the word! :)
