It's been a few days, and I find I am still bummed out.
Choy Li Fut has a lot of two person sets. We learn them at the more advanced levels.
Finding a good reliable two person partner is a difficult thing. But I lucked out. My very first two person partner was more advanced than me, patient, reliable, and good to work with. By reliable I mean we had a regular workout time every week to practice together.
I have seen how hard it is to get this in a two person partner. Many people can be flaky, or just not easy to work with.
We have worked together several years- about 3. We have won medals for our two person set at our tournaments.
And now he has quit the school. He is focusing on College and his mom is focusing her finances on his College, instead of the MA school.
And I find that my being bummed about it has not worn off yet. I am sure this is partly because pickings for a new partner are slim. The person I was going to team up with is flaking out. And at this sash level, well, there really aren't many people I can work with. This is the flaw with having two person sets in one's curriculum.
I have asked the two black sashes at my school to work with me temporarily while I find a more permanent two person partner, but that won't work for the tournament. It is a temporary solution.
Anyways, this is one place where others can understand my feeling of loss. It sounds silly I suppose. And I know it isn't a big deal in the real world full of serious issues, but I am down about it. And that feeling is lasting longer than I expected.:(
Anyone else gone through something like this? Two person sets or maybe even just the loss of a regular partner one worked out with?
