Dear Sifu,
Since practising I have had many benefits of practice like overcoming asthma, haven't been sick/had a cold for at least 8 years, much happier than before and having a lot of energy.
Despite that, there are still some physical blockages which I wish to overcome.
My practice in general is as follows. Sometimes I miss morning or night.
Morning: Chi kung and chi flow 1 out of 2 times. Iron wire+ chi flow 1 in 2 or 3 times
Evening: Chi kung chi flow, Stance training 20-30mins (All stances but I end when I start to feel more than minor discomfort and do some short chi flow in between), Chi flow, leg stretching, Sequences and sets 30 mins, end with chi kung chi flow.
Night: 5-10 min of small universe and end with chi flow.
I am training so I can use my kung fu for fighting and intend to enter competitions. I go to MMA class once a week to get used to sparring with and understand how the MMA people fight. I do feel that I need to increase my internal force/ presence of mind/ solidness and agility of stances/ stamina in order to win against good fighters.
Can you shed some light to improve my practice? Should I practice less? Would I get more result from practising more? What type of practices/ skills should I focus on? To get more result in breaking through blockages and also sparring.
Is training for fighting (especially force training) contradictory to breaking through blockages?
I understand the past masters practised 8 hrs a day including 2 hrs stance training without chi flow . How can they manage such a thing? I understand there is gradual progress. But in the past I tried to increase my stance training for example by increasing by 1 minute per 2 weeks in order to stand in golden bridge for 20 -30 minutes. It seemed to aggravate blockages. Getting angry, tense and negative thoughts occasionally in daily life. Is it positive or negative? I discontinued that type of training just in case.
Thank you Sifu and thank you Barry,
Jas
