Misty Kung Fu class

It was too wet to bring the paper mache lion head out. But not to wet to bring out the little dragons.
Instead of doing the class in the sugar bowl we went around behind it and just had the class on the asphalt path. Dragon dance to warm up. Then a piece of sup ji, chuen pow cups, 100 punches (counting all 100 thereby learning to count to 100) 100 kicks, then ten of each basics, Sword fighting and then just some running around.
I've been thinking...
While in Florida, the dance studio we visited had group lessons and then a dance every few days a week. Something like that at 10 bucks a class might work with the Kung Fu school, but would it work with Jonah? probably not. I like how they just taught the basic moves of a dance. Each night would be a different dance.
I guess you could do that with Kung Fu. Maybe learning the basic aspects of one type of move. Say the straight punch one night, kicks another night, Pows another night. But then how do pair up? That could be dangerous with beginners. Well not so much dangerous but some people might be aggressive and hit or "injure" each other or perhaps just start fighting, and then what. Lawsuit? Push hands might work. Pushing drills. That type of thing. Maybe just holding hitting pads for each other. Ehhh maybe it's not such a good idea. Besides, can't do it with Jonah anyway.

Well I did get my class in despite the light not quite rain and Jonah did plenty outside today I think. Maybe we'll put boots on later and jump in puddles. That's all he seems to want to do anyway.
