You are on FIRE!!! After growing through the Wood level with 10 Step, you are ready to use what you've gathered and create your first spark! The 8 Step form will allow you to put your movements from the Wood Level into a full sequence that carries you through the Fire...although there will not be any walking on hot coals just yet.
