Are you prepared for 10 different, conflicting answers?
Yeah. It’s better than the 0 I have right now before I post any.
but we all know that mine is the only one that he’ll pay any attention to
Of course :
Ironfist, how do you feel your progress is coming?
In case you are interested and can travel, We have a seminar coming up here in July, if you could drive or bus out it would be a cheap way to get some input from some live people!
Pretty good, I guess. July, eh? You are in Minneapolis right? That’s like a 10 hour drive from me but I have no idea what I’ll be doing in July anyway. As for my progress, all I’ve been doing is working on SLT, chain punches, and blocking and striking combos. Oh yeah, lots (well, some) of stance work. Basically everything I do is in a WC stance, so everything I do involves (what I think is) proper footwork. I have a full length mirror to help me.
Oh yeah, remember I said one set of 50 punches was hard? That was when I was doing them as if I was actually hitting something (tension at the end). When I totally relax like how some people on here said to do I can bust out sets of 100 and not even feel it (that’s 100 on each side, not 100 total). But, while they are fast (3-5 per second) I think they are lacking impact power because I’m totally relaxed. It looks less structured, too.
Oh yeah, I also have a wallbag filled with beans (I forgot what kind, but not mung beans because I can’t find them… I used little white beans or something) that I’ve been doing two sets of 75 with each hand on per day, except recently because I smashed my finger against my metal bed frame and it hurts to touch anything with it, but it’s getting better.
How’s that for a run-on sentence?
