This morning I had a Moves Critique by one of our judges. (He's well known for being one of our tough judges...) 8O I have some notes...
Forward perimeter crossovers - Good flow and speed. Needs more extension. Lower arms and shoulders. (Yeah, I know... :roll: )
Backward perimeter crossovers - Good flow and speed (again). Lower arms and shoulders. Bend knees more. (Ditto!)
Forward power 3turns - Good flow and transition of weight. Use arms less. Let the legs do the work. (More ditto!!!)
Alt. Back crossovers to BO edge - (Judge said "It's good! Next move.") 8O
5 step mohawks - Need more extension, 5th step (the FI edge) needs to curve more, Turn free foot out more on the 5th step.
Not much surprises! Overall, he thinks I'm making a LOT of progress and I'm REAL close to being ready to test Bronze Moves. When I told him I was thinking of testing in June, he said "Sure! Why not?" Bronze level judge also told me that I looked pretty good out there during the critique. And he also said "If you are planning to test in June, I would like to take the same test with you." :lol: (Sure! The more the merrier!!!)
I emailed my critique notes to both my coach and two minutes later, primary coach calls me at home and says "Didn't I tell 'ya to LOWER THOSE ARMS??? Didn't I tell 'ya to EXTEND on those forward crossovers!??!!" :roll: (Typical Jay...LOL!!!) :lol:
Secondary coach send a short email saying simply"GOOD JOB!" (She was watching me during the critique!)
Got more work to do... but I'm happy to say that I'm well on my way to "earning my spot at AN." :twisted:
