Forms
Forms. Probably the base for all your training. Doesn't matter if it's a weapon, your hands, combinations, sparring, techniques, everything is based on your forms and how much you use them is a window to your Kung Fu. Your forms install muscle memory, dynamic stretching, and brings you that much closer to achieving center. They are also the only true way you are going to discover and learn to feel and apply the six harmonies. Your flow and to be able to utilize flow in every thing you do regarding your Kung Fu is going to come from your forms. I haven't been practicing my forms as regularly as I should be with the exception of my weapon form, and I can tell. I feel it in any application I attempt, my kicks, stances, even throwing a simple punch. So from this point on, my form reps must increase and must be practiced daily. This should help with a lot the issues I have had lately with my Kung Fu.
