Dear family,
I've had the great honor of organizing so far two different special kungfu events with Sifu. Both of these events have featured (and will feature) courses of fantastic arts such as Iron Wire and Asking Bridge that, however, are not part of our standard syllabus.
Perhaps because of this, I've been surprised to encounter a very common concern:
Many students seem to think these special arts or sets somehow take away from their kungfu development by introducing too much variation, too much to practice, conflicting goals, or other similar perceived drawbacks.
As anyone who has attended these wonderful special courses can attest, the reality is quite the opposite:
The special courses do not detract from our fundamental training, but rather enrich it tremendously by providing high-level skills, vision, focus and valuable options for daily practice.
I am very happy to find out that Sifu has addressed this important question in one of his latest articles:
DOES PRACTICING DIFFERENT KUNGFU STYLES OR MANY KUNGFU SETS CONTRIBUTE TO OR DISTRACT FROM KUNGFU PROGRESS?
This article deals with different kungfu styles and techniques. More to follow on force training.
Make sure you don't miss this important lesson.
Best wishes,
