Out of the comfort zone

Open training was really fun today. Mr. Leung and I are coming up with a fight choreography for the demo. We decided to use weapons so he has two eskrima sticks and I have my broadsword. So far it's turning out really cool I think. And it sounds awesome too which is a bonus. It's interesting working with someone new. Usually for things like this I've always partnered up with the other Sifu Playter. Partnering with someone different for choreography, especially involving weapons is a bit out of my comfort zone. But, I think it's good for me to experience new people. I've already been learning a lot and I'm really enjoying it. It definitely is a different dynamic though. When I work with Sifu Playter, he is the more experienced one and I look to him for guidance a lot. But with Mr. Leung, I'm the more experienced one so it's a bit of a shift that way. But I have to admit, Mr Leung is doing really well. I think back to when I was an orange belt and there would have been no way I would have been able to put together a demo like this. It's inspiring for me to see people who don't have as much experience being willing to put themselves out there like that. It reminds me how important it is to expand our comfort zones.

Today I've consumed: 2 pieces of butter toast, 2 pieces of peanut butter and jam toast, a cheese and tomato sandwich, a candy and I'm going out for dinner tonight. I've drank 4 cups of tea, 2 glasses of orange juice and 2 glasses of water so far.
