Your Own Special Kicking Place
Hey, the crunches and the daily chi gung are coming along
fine, thanks.
I have noticed that I have been doing an extra bit of practice
between crunches ...
During the day, when I am alone, I walk by the bar in our
entertainment room at least once an hour (The Dragon's Plate).
The level of the bar is right at my lower ribs.
I have taken to kicking one spot on the bar, at rib height.
Sometimes, I stop and kick 10 times in a row. Other times, I fire
off a kick without breaking stride.
My goal is to kick higher than my normal shin, knee, and groin
kicks. Just for the stretch and a little practice.
The spot on the bar is my special kicking place.
After I am comfortable kicking at that height without stretching,
I will work on other "spot-kicking" goals:
* I could work a little power kicking into a solid oak bar.
* I could speed kick as I quickly run by.
* I could put a sticker on my sweet spot and kick the sticker, for
more precision.
I am notorious for checking open doors with a Wing Chun
technique, as I walk through passageways.
