Green belt material

[Matt - a simple hobbit]

I was able to get the final pieces of my green belt material from Mr. Bronson today in a private class. I think he had a lot of fun with showing me the Jit Sao trapping. :)

I needed four more of the trapping lines. I hope to begin training these daily as I have with the rest of my green material. You may say to yourself, "Daily? That Datt Myment is over the top" This may be true, but - yes - daily. In order for me to ingrain new material I have found that I must give it attention daily ... otherwise I lose it. Part of this comes from my basketball days. If I didn't work on my shot or new plays daily, I lost them. Some people pick things up quickly and remember them perfectly. I am not one of those cats. I have to work it in.

After learning the new trapping lines, Mr. Bronson pushed me on my double stick and stick and dagger material. I was pleasantly surprised that it was strong. In the next breathe I was surprised that I was surprised by this. I have been working those two pieces of training material twice a day for the past month in the air, against the heavy bag, and sneaking them in with a partner before class.

Once I feel strong and comfortable with the new material, I will move it from daily work to once a week training in my own personal work-outs. I will need to because that should be about the time that I begin working the dummy and staff with red belt.
