Rooster Year

First I would like to say thank you to everyone who helped with the dirty tasks at the Chinese New Year Banquet, clearing tables, scraping dishes and repacking, loading and cleaning.  It went like silk and that is thanks to all of you!

I have started my new forms and its pretty exciting, a sword in my hand is a good feeling.  Not sure why I like them so much but I do.   Youngest Sifu Beckett is teaching me the Tai Chi Straight Sword form. So far doing 5 to 10 reps of what I know is pretty easy but this is a pretty long form so the learning curve is going to be lengthy.  Watching the video I must say its beautiful and I hope I can do it justice.  As usual for the first week my tracking and numbers are looking good, every year I get better at this part of the process ... journaling, writing things down, keeping up on my numbers.  Maintaining this is the key and my goal for this year (again)!
