I’m so sore.. haha! This week is dedicated to SPACT-training. Another thing I’ve been longing to do, since I joined the agency 3 years ago. Obviously covid happened, but now that I’m finally back again I took the opportunity to do two fundamental trainings, one day each. I’m so sore, I’m so excited & I’m super inspired to continue developing as I only scratched the surface.
First day was the Eskrima Fundamental with Giedre Jackyte, fighting with sticks easily put. The fighting itself was everything but easy, but so much fun. Other than training on technique we focused a lot on angles of camera, how to make it look believable and practise taking hits/reactions. I look forward to next time and to see the development between! Giedre was such a bad-ass and I am definitely fan-girling.
Second day was the Unarmed Fundamental with Fran Katz. I thought that was gonna be a bit more similar to stuff I’ve done so far, but obviously there are tons of different styles and ways to fight so it was super developing. Found a few new things clicking, and was just very very happy to finally be training screen combat, building my foundation. Fran was so good, a lot of things just from warm-up and intensity I will take with me, but also such a cool woman. Fan-girling again, for sure. Already during the day I could feel my body cramping up so I was not surpised when I could barely move by the time I got back to the house.
Today I couldn’t move at all, haha! I had a long date with my massage gun just going over the biggest muscle groups and I’ve also danced tonight so we’ll see how the body feels tomorrow. It’s always nice to move when you’re sore, even if you don’t necessarily want to. Get some circulation and a bit of a stretch.
Dance class was with Katrina Lopes at the weekly House of Jazz class and it was so much fun and really nice to have so much time to actually dance the combo. I can’t remember who’s teaching tomorrow, but I look forward to it anyways. All the classes with HOJ is good. Always. I’m not worried at all.
Now I’m gonna watch another Bruce Lee film, haha!
Stay kind,
S.
