Pain...

My legs...they're going to fall right the hell off.

We're working on forms all this week, and last night, just for fun, all us purple belts getting ready to test for blue got to spend the evening going over Jung Ye (which is the form required to get out of blue, but since we've all learned the form to get out of purple our instructor decided to give us a bit of what we can expect). This form is _all_ low stances. You may start and finish standing straight up, but that's it, start and finish only. And of course, since we're only just going over it for the first time, after each movement, we get to stay in position while the instructor goes around and corrects us. After all this, we got to do laps in low stances.

Help, my thighs...they're on fire...

Minor edit:

Least favorite thing to hear an instructor say: "Make that stance longer and get lower."

Even though my one "stance" ---aka dance position---is much easier than your multiple stances, "Make that longer" is my least favourite thing to hear as well. In five years, all I've been able to figure out about making that stance "longer" is thatit involves back muscles I didn't know I possessed. In another two years or so I should be able to get it.

Right.
