My August IHC Update
✅ = achieving/exceeding my numbers or generally on track where numbers don't really apply.
❌ = behind on my numbers, things aren't going well or I haven't taken any steps to complete the goal yet.
➖ = unsure of progress, the opportunity hasn't presented itself yet, it may take the full year to properly evaluate, or it's something I would need my instructors to determine my success/failure. I've decided to still list these things here just as a reminder that they are still requirements.
⭐ = Complete
Base Requirements
✅ Hand Form - Da Mu Hsing I-V 489/1000
✅ Knife Form - Goju-Shorei Talon 491/1000
✅ Push-ups 24,952/50,000
✅ Sit-ups 24,963/50,000
✅ Sparring 490/1000 *I'd like to get better at my sparring...but I'm not really sure how. I practice the 1, 2 and 3 step sparring alot...and "jab, reverse, hook, uppercut" is getting a bit overdone....lol. I had an idea of coming up with some "choreographed" sparring sequences that I could just play out because I really need to incorporate more variety.
✅ Kilometers 952/1609
✅ Acts of Kindness 498/1000
✅ Blogging/Online Presence
✅ Unexcused Absences
➖ Mastery by Stewart Emery - I understand the premise, but certainly can't recite it yet.
✅ Mend a Relationship - I am going camping with my brother in September and he has invited my Dad along. And I'm actually looking forward to it.
✅ Lion Dancing - we've been working on this in class recently. I still feel mostly awkward, but I think I'm starting to find some moments of clarity in my movements.
❌ Tiger Challenge
✅ Public Performances - Virtual demo...but I'm thinking some live ones will be in my future soon.
➖ Core Curriculum - Instructors call
✅ SRKF Projects and Initiatives - nearing completion of the pushup/situp demo video!
Personal Requirements
➖ Weekly Dharma Talks - I haven't been reading much the last bit as I've been spending most of my spare time on the demo video. Hmmm....is this an excuse? Or a reason? It's sometimes hard to tell. I suppose I will know once the video is done and that time opens back up.
❌ Pottery - Still haven't gotten back on the wheel. Although I have been writing down lots of ideas. But I need take those ideas from paper and actually do them.
❌ Box Jumps - I haven't made one attempt since I fell. 🐔
⭐ Learn how to change my car tires - Complete.
➖ Learn how to change Oil - still waiting for an opportunity. I did assist in bleeding brakes though! Not sure I'll ever use that knowledge again. lol
✅ Indoor Plant - this is all going really well! It's just a part of my day and every time I look at them I have a certain sense of pride. It's funny how plants can make me smile so easily. I need to get myself a double sided stand of some kind for in front of my windows and then I'll probably expand.
✅ Save for Family Getaway - it's measly but I've started once again.
✅ Compliment Dan, Emma and Nathan at least once a day.
⭐ Children's book - Complete.
