Horse Stance Update

Who wast Thou, O Caesar, that Thou knewest God in an horse?

-Liber VII 6:28

I go through several open hand forms. J timed me for 1 minute & 33 seconds. An 18 sec. improvement from last week.

My goal is to reach 5 min. and its painfully obvious that I've got a way to go.

As far as G.D. goes, its becoming less and less likely that we'll be competing in Riceville this year. Driving to Iowa doesn't exactly thrill everyone involved and the competition in the weapons category was more than a little thin (they combined the belts for this) last year. We were also the only K.F. group there - tae kwon do and karate groups being the majority.

A number of us have expressed interest in competing at the local Diamond Nationals although the strictly "kung fu" Aug. tournament in D.C. admittedly interests me more. With either of these, the competition would be much more palpable. However, commitment levels would have to increase amongst the small membership we have in order to really be effective as a group. We'll see.
