Although this blog is mainly for me, I have not been doing much writing. The reason is that there is work to be done. Focus and emphasize seng. That is where the honey is at. Everything else is secondary. And communication is tertiary. It is of seldom use.
I am coming across a more, basic concept in regards to improving my wing chun. There are too many ideas and technicalities being expressed. I highly doubt Ip Man taught in such a manner. To get what CST had, it is much better (for me, in my opinion) to do the three things advocated by
We don’t want anything other than chi or prana training. It is kind of pointless to hone techniques that cannot be updated to every situation. Reading the book, Mastery Mindset, the author (a practitioner of karate and aikido) has written about his own experiences facing and learning from masters who have a high level of
If you are learning martial arts to fight – and you wish to fight other human beings – then why not join the military or become a mercenary. If these martial arts truly were made for war and for combat in life-or-death scenarios, why not test them out in the best manner that you can?

We practice slowly and diligently. However, it isn’t guaranteed that this training will display at self. For ex. at higher speeds will we
Everyone is on different skill levels. If I showcase my abilities to a random guy off the street, I’ll be able to affect him more than I would a person training for 20+ years in the internal structure. There is a difference in the skill level. This applies to everything. It does not mean that

This should have been obvious from the get go. Moving joints in multiple directions gives you more control and “spikes” your opponent. But only if he
Here are excerpts I found exceedingly interesting in the book “Mastery Mind-Set” (149171459X). Page 20-21 – Regarding Belts “If your club uses colored belts, know that this tradition only goes back to the 1940s, when Jigoro Kano, the founder of judo, standardized a ranking system. This ranking system was later adopted by other arts. If
There really are no techniques. Anything goes because anything has the chance to work. This being said, there is no need to “formally” learn techniques. Techniques are tricky because they can easily be stolen. All it requires is a visual cue and understanding what is occurring. From there, a person can reverse-engineer what is being
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
