Ninja kicks. They're awesome. Here's what I'm talking about: I run a few steps, then jump into the air, left knee up, right leg straight down. Then I pull my left leg down straight as I bring my right knee up before I extend the right leg forward in a ferocious kick, just in time to land on my left foot. There's a moment in this maneuver, the moment when I'm letting my left leg drop and lifting my right, a moment that coincides with the apex of the jump, just before I left my right foot fly forward, where I feel like all coiled energy and everything slows down. It is one of the few times when I feel graceful, powerful. And it means I'm about to take down some uppity ninja.
feeling the slowness of time and ready energy of my body as i tuck into myself at the apex of a jump just before I drop a sweet kick: ****
