Important lesson learnt last Monday.

Been doing alot of sparring leading up to my grading. My biggest problem with sparring is I move like a street fighter character, shuffling back and forth so I have been working on lateral movement. An advanced technique that us higher level students use is your standard teep kick but instead of aiming at the midsection we hit the hipbone on the lead leg. It completely throws your opponent off balance. So a guy throws a hip level teep to someone who is practicing lateral movement. The end result is Gok's favourite ancient martial arts technique of a kick to the janglies.

Good times were had by everyone...except me.
