I have added my extra credits for the Master Cann and Master Woo Poomsae and Sparring Seminars that happened a few weeks ago to todays (Wednesday, February 21st) system record.
Thank you again Master Evins for the credits.
I thought the seminar was fantastic, and hope that we get another opportunity to do that again. In terms of the poomsaes, I learned that have plenty of room to improve my technique, and need to continue to work hard to make myself better. I think the biggest area I need to improve is my side kicks. They showed me (pretty quickly) how I need to kick straighter out, and hold a better "upright" position after the kick to gain better control. They also showed how I need to stretch more. I have really started to stretch more and do my side kicks better. It is a work in progress, but it is already better than it was.
In terms of the Sparring, I also learned that there are so many different techniques to sparring that you really need to figure out which ones will work best for you, and build you "tool box" of techniques that can be leveraged. Change it up. I also learned some great move when you are close in, and how you can move and strike/kick quickly while in close. Those were most helpful, because I do find myself sometime close it and not always sure what to do. I also found that I need to stretch more to get my leg up faster for the kick. It amazed me the speed of many of the students. I know Master Marcus is fast, but some of these students were lightning quick. I need to work on the speed, and just don't be afraid to change it up.
These were great seminars and I hope to continue to do more of them. Thanks to everyone who arranged them.
