14 days without training is too weak.
That’s not exactly true. I have been joining in our Saturday open training sessions and going to sparring class at our sister school afterward. But I can’t remember the last time I went to regular weekday class.
My work schedule has me either staying late or bringing the lap top home to work. Some day it’ll let up, but not in the foreseeable future.
Fortunately for me, Sifu understands. Even if you can’t train as often as desired, it’s important to keep training as you can, rather than just give up.
We’ve talked about when I can next test for black belt. I wanted to go to our spring training camp in May as a black belt. I’m tired of cleaning out cabins and the training/dining hall as an underbelt. But given my sparse training regimen lately, I may have to take up the broom for another year.
