Understanding Kung Fu for life, health and self defense
It has been another great training week, even with the challenges of food on the holidays and traveling to Montana for Christmas. There is a great gym here to train and I was able to get my three hour forms work out in the day before we left. Our 12 hour drive day was a rest day. My first day in Montana did a two hour workout going through each form four times medium speed in four different directions and then each form twice fast. I had a real nice stretch afterwards. The next day I did all…

Today, I walked up the mountain, forward and backward, hit the second road in good time.
A few hours later, I trained outside, my horse Jameal watching me with such curiosity it was funny. They usually bug me and I have to find a different spot to train.
I worked on my forms. I did each form 4 times each, facing different directions. If I messed up I would do that form over again. I did some dance moves for about 30 minutes. I had a hip injury from my accident,…

I did it! 3 hours and 1 minute of forms. Ohhhhhhh I'm tired, but it felt good. I did each form facing four different directions. If I messed up, I did it again. Once I finished the sword in 4 different directions (5 really because I ended facing the wrong direction and did it again), I did each form at Tai Chi speed - low and slow. I got my wind back during this time, but my legs were burning. I continued and did each form as fast as I could, twice each. This left me 15 minutes left to hit…

I keep hearing that phrase in my head. "Do more forms!" On Monday I did all 15 forms in four different directions at medium speed, each form at Tai Chi speed once, and each form twice at fast speed. I also threw in some staff and sword basics. When all was said and done it was a 2 hour and 45 minute workout. The 2nd degree test is 3 hours. I am getting close :) Tuesday was a rest day. Wednesday was a light hour long work-out focusing on technical placement. Thursday, today, was another hard…

Yesterday's Workout:
Morning walk up the mountain. Tea and quite time after
Afternoon workout was just over an hour.
My plan was to do each form four times, although I did some of them more than four, because I felt I needed more practice.
I worked on each form, facing different directions. I did Yut Som 12 times facing different directions.
Some of of food menu for that day and…

It has been a good push to be taking my forms deeper and stronger in understanding and practice. This past week I did a two hour workout on Monday. It consisted of each form, medium speed, in four different directions. I then did Sword, Little Mantis, Wallum 2nd form, Wallum Big 1st Form, 7 Kicks, and Staff at Tai Chi speed to hit the two hour mark. Tuesday I worked my staff basics and sword basics with a good stretch to give my legs a break. Wednesday I did each form once at Tai Chi speed…
