Training Pays Off!
Hey everyone! Glad that I can get back on the sight again! Once again like that last time I was here...thanks for all the advice and training tips. It really paid off! The shed me and my buddies used for awhile to simulate obsticles for working with movement and awareness was a big success. Not to mention all the added training of being the aggresser and focusing on the mind of the beast....it makes a great difference. Me and my buddie Jake ran into the same group of guys at the bar that I tangled with last time and things went much better. Obviously the best would have been to have avoided another fight, but I have a bad habit of not walking away more than once. :) A bit of ego that I have to work on myself. This time there were only six and Jake took one to leave me with five. I think Jake needs to work on trying the Shou Shu a little, he spends far to much time practicing Iron Body with the number of hits he takes. :) I realize that I still have alot of training to do...the study of Shou Shu is a life long endevor, I only had five opponents this time and that made things better. But with all the training and preperation I did while I was healing up from last time paid off. My footing and stances were stronger, I didn't bump into a bunch of stuff like last time, and I found that being more focused on the beast not only made the motions faster and stronger..but it also helped me remain the aggresser and not be on the defensive for more than a step or two back before moving in or around the side of an opponent. Train hard and with a purpose and it WILL pay of in the long run! Thanks again for the advice and keep training hard! -Jack
