Ahh last practice before Circles! The key being not to push my groin too much whilst practicing all my get downs and combos:
1. pose out > pose in > spin > rollback headpose > mill > (90 or pose) (get down)
2. foot on outside of knee > spin > foot on inside of knee (get down)
3. (sideways shuffle tops) > knee drop > butterfly twist > coin drop > headspin drills (get down)
4. side flip > applejack > 90 > mill > headspin variation
Oh man, what a God send! Got in an hour with Devon before practice! It was a hard hour, I think we were both posturing for the girls. Well I was fadskifresh, so I didn't give a damn and actually came out with footwork looking good and feeling good. Kenjutsu all over the place, i mean really embodying it. There were several instances where I found myself in the music and also just plain riding rythyms and beats. By the time practice rolled around I was pretty tired. But I was mentally prepared for some reason. The first hour was solid even if wasn't hitting 4. I think I have 3, but that's just a bunch of easy moves together. 2 is easy, gotta remember to do it though. For 1 I get to the mill easy enough, but the push up is rough. Speaking off pushups Randall and I hit some drill 6 step > pushups x5. I didn't even hit like half of the third one. That's also when my mental concentration faded. Even still, got some more moves in. I learned roll back > headspin drill today, sweet. Time to sip water for an hour :/
Wednesday
This practice is pretty much determined by how my groin feels but I need to go over the things I missed yesterday:
1. airflare > mill/swipe combinations (many of them)
2. speedy footworks (probably in drill form unless the music helps me out)
3. power going up
Blah, nobody was there and my groin still hurts. I did some speedy footworks and danced without a break for a while a couple times. Just dancing today. Got two new get downs. So that's sweet for an hours work.

Tuesday
I need a murderous practice today and tomorrow. Clean up Thursday. Then get my rest on. Wasn't sure if chilling Sunday was the righteous move, but what's done is done. The plan:
1. airflare > mill ... and swipe > airflare ... combos
2. work the kenjutsu at all times (throw in flips as footwork techs).
3. speed speed speed in footwork! I haven't worked this and shit looks a tad slower than I want.
4. emphasis on going up in power sets.
5. NO CRASHING!
Well ok. I got a pretty decent practice in. I definitely hit airflare > mill > (crash halo) but when I got tired I couldn't muster the energy to keep trying them. Grrr next time. Not too many flips but some decent footwork, some of it didn't make sense. It was the lazy beat hitting creeping in. That because I wasn't coming up with interesting things to do because I was too focused on the music. Like I said my style is to allow me to think ahead. So that wasn't too good. Forgot about the speed thing, but there was some jazz music so I tried staying on the drums. Yay jazz, not really for bboying. Didn't really focus on going up! Must do that next practice!! I also kind of strained my groin a bit, so I just need to warm up better. It's not like I've been dancing days in a row, a bit tight.
