Cho Gar WCK “Tsui Da”.

Here is the one and only Por Suk doing Cho Gar Wing Chun’s “Tsui Da”.

Enjoy.

Open Apology.

Of late, I’ve been receiving numerous requests to be “friend” over at facebook…..

I typically leave these un-responded.

Doing this for a couple of reasons:-

1. Don’t fully know what this is all about as I barely check my facebook account.
2. I am finding it hard to manage with my work and keeping this blog updated, as far as possible, on a daily basis. If becoming a “friend” requires effort then I will certainly make a lousy “friend”.

So if you are one of those affected, my humble apologies extended here.

This blog and my other blogs is my way of staying in touch…..

Thank you.

Don’t run if you can’t walk properly.

How frequently have your heard this – learn to walk before you run.

Get your rudiments right, build good foundations and like a chain, you’re as tough as the weakest link.

And this is true for everything you are trying to master, no shortcut or “fast tracking”.

I guess you could say it as if you want fast food, go to a McDonald’s and if you want fast kung fu, check out a McSifu.

Everything is there for a reason, it’s either you know or you don’t. Art forms don’t exist for hundreds of year by chance, particularly those baptized by battles and wars.

Sometimes when I read about folks challenging “old” knowledge I cannot help but think; they don’t really know.

Doing forms is now routinely scorned by these people.

Yes, CKF is never about doing forms only.

But forms are there to put together your “infrastructures”; co-ordination, stamina, speed, power, response and most importantly, body/mind synchronization; simply put, learning how to walk….

And when you’re steady, then you start to run.

Do it prematurely, you are liable to fall……

Here’s a book about “running” – learning to fight with short weapons.

But please remember, these folks got their forms in place before training with a partner…….and don’t forget CKF is both these.
