What I am good at, Hmmm? Well I think I am good at understanding the theories behind what my teacher is teaching.
What I am bad at, let me see? Well, I do have habits from my old wing chun training. THIS NO EXCUSE. I do take full responsiblity of my ability now and blame only myself. I have unnecessary tension in my upper body which effects my coordination and timming. Mentally, I am not i am not relax enough to cover my picture and just play kung fu. I have a problem of what bruce lee called, "body feel". I think I have to learn how to "feel" what is
right kind of energy and form instead of just mentally understanding it. My sihing, Simeon, made a good point in explaining that perceptual knowledge is a must! You may have conceptual understanding, but without perceptual knowledge your conceptual understanding is incomplete.
Well, to be honest, I am trying my best. Some of my juniors have progressed much faster than myself. I am always reminded when I see them doing things which I am trying to do. But I always think positive and I know I will get it in the end. I am a long term type of guy. I am humble of enough to admit my weaknesses and I am not too ashame to work for what I have now.
