the cartwheel and a forward fall

this is a post I'm doing reluctantly.
Not realizing exactly HOW bad my cartwheels look I promised I would have them filmed and posted...
I added in the forward fall, which I'm equally proud about being able to do. Not the fall itself, but the getting up part...
Please, please, keep in mind that the cartwheel is done on a very small area, I begin it next to the windows, and there was another group training on the main tatami. I felt doing them that I could have done better with a bit of more space and momentum (aka doing more than just one in a row)
Same goes for the forward fall.



Oh, for the love of pup...



and I seriously wanna strangle the dj on the local radio station (yes, Steel...) who just cannot for the life of herself pronounce English names/titles...

Prime examples:

• China (as in Shania Twain)
• shiwollff (as in she wolf)
• flor ida (FLO rida')
• just about anything English she tries to say... Jeez...

pople who have public jobs involving saying foreign names should take pronunciation classes... Funny thing is, we read (and learn to pronounce) English from 3rd grade... But her German is actually pretty good, as far as pronounciation goes... UGH!
