Some superglue to bind the handles back in and we start again. Much more consistent flow...until it isn't haha. All part of the process though. #nunchaku #practice #martialarts #improvement #flow #honestlyexpressingyourself
When you go so hard your nunchaku tries to quit on you...😅 #nunchaku #martialarts #practice #mistakes #honestlyexpressingyourself
This is for you, whether we've started a new connection or have one that's been around for years. And everything in between. This is how I think of our connection: it's a flower. A rose. When you see a rose and truly cherish it for what it is, you don't pluck it from where it rests. You let it be, you allow it its time and space to grow. On occasion you water it, check on it, make sure it's able to thrive naturally. All of which are ways to show true love to such a thing. In this metaphor, I'm not the rose, nor are you. Our connection is. We take turns nurturing it and making sure it receives what it needs in order to continue to grow, on occasion shedding old petals to make way for new ones. The beauty of our rose is, it isn't striving to be anything other than what it's meant to be, naturally. Because it's free. What needs to happen happens naturally. All we have to do, is trust in one another. I guess what I wanna say is, thank you for any effort you've put in to cultivating and creating a place for our rose to flourish. #thankyou #love #poetry #writersofinstagram #writing #life #roses #romantic #family #friends
Seemed so easy when I thought about it, originally figured today would be a three to four hour training day. Turned out to only be a little over two hours but...45 minutes straight was spent on kicks. Every kick I know (realizing later I missed a couple new ones I wanted to try) thrown twenty times each, sometimes more. With 30 pounds of resistance attached to each leg. Punches and elbows were after to finish out on a chill note. How many kicks do I know as of now?!? 16, 19 counting the ones I missed. Sixteen different kicks, per side. 36 total from low to high. Followed by slow ring work and shadowboxing, all ended with some light nunchaku. And! I'm running in the morning...maybe haha. The hardest I've trained since I started developing myself through martial arts five years ago. #training #martialarts #tensionbands #winchun #practice #exceedlimits #honestlyexpressingyourself #bewater
Make every movement matter, be efficient. Be aware. Martial arts is truth, honesty; honor in motion. Flowing, naturally. #martialarts #nunchaku #practice #flow #understanding #exceedlimits #honestlyexpressingyourself
@melkrizzy you're killing It. From the first time we starter your training, you pushed yourself beyond your comfort. That's not at all an easy thing to do. Just glad to be able to continue to help you do that. #martialarts #training #teaching #understanding #exceedlimits #motivation
