4.13 (May 1)

I’ve noticed a big difference in quality between the forms I’ve done for I Ho Chuan and the forms that I haven’t. This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise but it is surprising how long it’s taken me notice this. The forms that I have done (18 Temple Motions, Lao Gar, and Hung) are of much higher quality than the others. There’s an exception to this however, with that being Da Mu Hsing. Da Mu Hsing makes sense to be an exception because it is one of the most practiced forms in class and is one of the forms that I’ve known for the longest. I now know first hand that even though focusing on my I Ho Chuan form is important, I can’t forget to do all my other forms to keep them at an almost comparable level. This gives me some insight on how I need to change my practicing habits to improve on my quality of Kung Fu. I will explore this for the rest of the year, and most likely put it into my requirements for next year.
