I made it to class last night so Sifu could show me what was going on with my Chum Kiu. He said three things on my video: "Timing with your steps, release of energy, and fixing your lan sao."
Well, it turns out those last two were related to the same thing: my lan sao. When I pivot, I was sinking my lan sao, but that is ALL I was doing. It's kind of like the opposite problem when I was doing my tak sao: I lifted up, and that was it. He said what I had to do was go downward and FORWARD.
FORWARD, FORWARD, FORWARD. The "forward" is what always gets me. I know exactly where that stems from: by my nature I am a very introverted person. No surprise that it's an area that needs major work.
And work it I will.
