This is the best Bruce I have seen!

I've always respect him as an martial art master, but not so much on how he gives his instruction thou

But now he has this passionate yet balanced demeanor that inspire learning, can feel how he really wants to share the knowledge.

I have a wonderful teacher who works on me to stop thinking so much. Kind of a mental relaxation because I tend to try and over analyze each position, think about  eye following which hand after years of work etc.  There are moments I get to where it all seems to come together without effort and I am free and it all just works. Sometimes I have to do two mechanical versions thinking about where does the breath go, am I doing Apparent Close up with the hands rising slightly in the push, am I breathing as I come into shuttle at the right place etc. and the third time I just do it. It is almost like the facets, incremental approach forces me to grow and the last version of the morning is the reward. I have done the entire form in a horse pasture while the trough is filling with water, my horse is watching me chewing grass and living in the moment, and under moon light it suddenly had me lighter and flowing. I tapped into something that night and now I try and find that freedom when I do it and I am still aspiring toward the goal. When you feel it it is special. But if you get that moment late at night, you have a hard time coming down from the mountain to sleep that night.
