Dear Family and Friends,
During the recent Special Weapons Course, Sifu mentioned a very interesting Kungfu principle that could be of great benefit to many.
To paraphrase Sifu from the course, "If a person works on improving one aspect (of practice), many other aspects will also improve."
Sifu has been kind enough to elaborate on this in an email to me:
To test this principle, I will now set to work to improve an aspect of my kungfu that has been relatively neglected, namely: set practice. I expect that by focusing on sets, other aspects, such as force and flow will also improve. Report to follow.
I also intend to focus on a single area for improvement at work, either something neglected, or perhaps a strong point; I am undecided (and on holiday).
Question for discussion: How could you, or how have you, or how will you, put this valuable principle to work for you?
Thanks for playing!
Yours,
Charles

The Chinese saying is "yit li thong, pa li meng" (in Cantonese), which I learned from my sifu, Sifu Ho Fatt Nam. It means that when one has successfully traveled one mile, he will be clear for hundreds of miles.
