Thanks Martial Joe and others but…

Thanks Ish ,Martial Joe for your support. I didnt write this forum as an attempt to educatate “know it alls” who dont believe an anything that they didnt already know. Say while your dropping knowledge please get others to post there sil lum tao time.

Yes this is a contest. a Game you might say to keep record and to see when people start to max out and cant take it anymore.
This is an experiment. and will push some people achieve a higher level at sil lum tao at least if not Wing chun kungfu and hopefully kungfu in general.

so post your times thankx.
oh and sharky
you never know what you dont know.

Know that.

“4 hour builds qi alot of qi builds kung fu
so there.”

well, i better bow out now if that’s the level of intellect that i’m dealing with here.

All i wanted was some RICE CAKES! Now? WE MUST BATTLE.

Heres my view on why do a slow SLT or anything for that matter. Its like a baby. In order for the baby to run,it must first learn how to walk profictiently(Think I spelled that right). When I Do Slow SLT I do every movement slowly. I then listen to my body and ask myself, “Is there anypart of my body at this point of movement that is tense?”,“Am I moveing with my whole body power”,“Is my root at this position strong, or can I be easily knocked over”,“Is my energy able to freely flow from the ground up through my body and out my hands”. In this way I train my body to be totally relaxed through the whole movement. I know that the whole movement will be powerful and supported by the full body and the root. (Plus moving slowly builds those stabalizer muscles pretty good,whats more powerful,a bobbly bullet or a straight bullet).I also find it helps me build patience and concentrate my mind on what I am doing more. This has improved my Wing Chun greatly, cause all that stuff I do slow, comes out fast when the time is needed. Any its not only fast but powerful. You should build your Wing Chun before you can use it. You dont enter a war with tank that has no engine or driver or ammunition. Just my opinion.I know everybodies interpretation will be different from mine, but I don’t care, because this way works for me and thats whats important. :slight_smile:

Well back to the contest I guess…

I have gone over a half an hour…I could do alot more perhaps…but I dont know…

Hi - i’m just a beginner at WCK, but because i don’t see my Sifu so often (being at University) i just train SLT a lot. Right now, i usually end up training it for 30-45 mins.

I know that in my club it’s been done for around 2 hours one time (at a residential course) because my best friend and Sihing was there! Thank goodness i missed that one :stuck_out_tongue:

well, i guess i should practise some more? :slight_smile:

thanks,
david

Slow is good.

I agree with you 100%. First you must optomize your technique by doing it slow then you work on speed and power. My Sifu and all the teachers always tell us that. Plus SLT is also a meditation and this makes your WC even better!

Wing Chun is rocks! Woooooh!!!

“spending that much time on a particular exercise wasn’t biting into anything else he needed to do.”

Finally, someone who understands.

I’ve been reading this thread for a while (even before i became a member of the forum) and i think that although the topic of this thread is a ‘contest’, that no one is really doing it to ‘compete’. It is more just to compare our level with each other, and figure out how and why training for so long can help your wing chun :slight_smile:
If you have a lot of experience with WCK then maybe this thread is pointless, but for us who have only been training a while we’re trying to figure out things…

thanks,
david
