Yesterday, Monday July 26th, they we were on the bus and they told us we were headed to this Martial Arts school to "observe" the way they learn....but oh, WE DID MUCH MORE THAN JUST OBSERVE!!! We got there, and each group had a class (outside) waiting for them. When we got to our class, they let us watch them warm up and do some kungfu moves. Then, they told us to go pick a boy to be our shifu(kungfu teacher. Then, we had a one-on-one section with our Shifu. & OH MY GOSH!!! It was HOT!!!, my teacher spoke NO ENGLISH (which wasn't too bad since I speak some), bending like that hurt like CRAP & did I mention it was HOT!!!!! And we just kept going through it over and over...while we were doing this, the guy who calls me his Xiao Mei Mei (Little Sister) came over with his friend (who we call The Eagle) and sat on the wall and watched. He was acting all protective lol, cause when the guy touched my hand or something to move it to where it was suppose to be for the move, he'd look at him real hard. Then, he started yelling at the guy. I could make out all that he was saying but I did hear that he was saying, "Your not teaching well...your suppose to be teaching....your making it too difficult,etc." & his friend (The Eagle) threw in his two cents too, which I couldn't quite make out.
After that, he changed the routine that he was teaching me & it was MUCH EASIER and I was doing much better.
Now, why did I title this, "Why I'm sore and can barely walk...?" Because MAAAANNNN!! THOSE MOVES!!! To give you a sort of visual, try going into a low squating position then keep your right leg bent and extend the left leg out til it's straight. Then, take your left arm, with the palm extended sweep it like your brushing something off your leg, almost to your foot. & to sort of show u how low I went down, I could brush the ground with my hand....I can practically do a split now...if I just had one more week of Kungfu...I'd be there
