Forms combinations

I have my thoughts on what is the best way to teach a form. For me at the end it is mostly defined by the student and how much they see the value in learning a new form. Getting better at a form.

Guided by sifu Rybak, I was developing different combinations out of the forms to allow students to understand the reality of some of the form moves.

I was happy with the results and all these combinations worked really well. What I liked the most about these combinations is that it was set as partner work.

I need to continue to develop these and also document the ones I have (to ensure I do not forget them).

The horrific videos (and forever PTSD). The rising anti-Semitism in North America, Europe and specifically in Canada. All made me feel more alone.

The Challenge

 Sifu Rybak challenged us to go beyond out perceived limitations and get to do something we think we cannot.  At least this is what I heard...

The main one will be my fear from hurting my back. Both from the jump and the landing. So I will need to build up and get to the point where my body (and especially my back) is OK with that.
