Wudang Cotton Palm
Dear all,
The end of Day 1 and so many wonderful gifts already. I am so grateful to Sifu for transmitting this precious art. I came to this course with an empty cup and the cup is rapidly being filled with priceless jewels.
Today was incredible for so many different reasons and on so many different levels. To be a part of a course that allows us to learn in one day the Cotton Palm Set, although we have the videos, which Sifu joked about the past masters would be astounded at this accomplishment. To me and I'm sure others the marvel is the transmission. The way that Sifu brings the art to life and allows us to crystallise the skills after we learn just the forms is magical.
One of the bonuses of learning such an advanced art is the need to take breaks to prevent over training. This means lots of opportunity for discussion, questions and even demonstrations by accomplished masters as we saw today from Sifu Barry and Sifu Tim, showing what cotton palm does to a watermelon. Pity the poor watermelon that got the cotton and cosmos palm strike!
Still one day to go and we will learn the applications and maybe even a small bonus. Cotton Palm has use in combat, healing but also spiritual development. We are blessed in our school to have these opportunities. Rare jewels not to be missed. I missed Dragon Strength and Cosmos Palm but have the good fortune to receive this transmission.
I'm really happy to share this course and its blessings with all my brothers and sisters. Even the curious bystanders at the sports centre I feel are receiving the blessings. I'm grateful to share another course with Parveen. This journey in the shaolin arts is more meaningful and enriched because of our incredible family.
Thanks to Sifu and Past Masters. Thanks to the Fully Alive team for making this a possibility. Looking forward to a lot more fun tomorrow.
Shaolin Salute,
Joel.
