Today's general class felt much better than Thursday's. Three of us "do over" white belts were in attendance and we received just the right amount of teasing from our black belt and senior students--gentle ribbing with affectionate grins all around.
In class, after the white belt technique was called, I realized that I did not have to pay any more attention to what was said before the word "Go!" This was incredibly freeing and allowed me to just focus on whatever stance I was in. The simplicity of no more than one hand and foot technique together and usually only one was a gift.
Focusing on only a few simple things allows one to see the complexity in each technique, to explore where the power comes from, and which muscles are needed--and which ones are not.
