I surprised my Karate teacher tonight, and myself actually. Last week I went through a new kata that contained a complete new move set and stances I hadn’t practised before. Last week I was sloppy and weak. It was hard to comprehend the new movements and where the power for them came from. Usually hips are the key. The power you can generate from hip movements is amazing. So being unable to use my hips much at all in these new moves was a challenge. However tonight I was sharpe. It was incredible. I somehow just figured out where to pull the energy from. It was insane. I felt as if my arms were going to come out of their sockets. One time I had to stop because I thought my elbow was about to disjoint. Once I learned to control it, I looked good. My teacher couldn’t believe the improvement in just one week. I too was in shock that so much power can come from single movements without using the hips. Karate never fails to impress me.

My final University project is taking longer than expected and Flash is somewhat limiting my image skills. However, I have some slick movement and vector art going on, so I think I can save this project and make it look good in a different way than initially intended. Long hours in University required to finish this!
