Steam

This occurred to me after reading and trying out the Osho technique I wrote previously about. There isn’t a line in rising. It isn’t readily tangible. The line is formed by the constant energy being dictated to go up. It is similar to steam going from one vent, to another, directly above it. You can …

Thing to Focus On

The bone alignment concept is a bit tough. I have to chew on it for sometime before I can post results its results and benefits. I have noticed that since I am in a better shape – with the rising, separation of joints, feeling the flow, etc – that I should make note of what …

There are a few demonstrations I do to prospective students. The list is not long but I see myself improving readily and so am not too worried in these regards. The basic format of (our) action remains the same. Rise, do the forms while rising and do chi sau while rising. Those are the only …

Tremendous Rising Part 2

This is a follow up to my previous post of the same name. I have not done it as intensely since my last post. I have done it consistently but not constantly and not always so intensely. The reason is a kind of boredom, laid back, carefree nature. This isn’t good by any means but …

Simple Things I’ve Noticed

I have noticed a few simple things in Wing Chun – the CST method. There are a couple of observations here. The first is my exposition of what is meant by the 3 things CST was told by Ip man. The second is the different levels of mastery in this kung fu. The third is …
