Everyone just post what you did in kung fu/ martial arts class today. Start by telling the name of your style and then what you worked on. If you didnt have class today then tell us what you did on your own.
At the moment im studying shuai chiao and shaolin 5 animals. Today we worked on a panther form and its applications/ concepts. Then we did some focus pad combinations.
In my last JKD class, we did some RAT training, with motorcycle helmets on. Also stop-kick training, trapping drills, knife sparring, and Kali/Silat style unarmed “destructions.”
Loads of fun, and very practical.
“Hi, my name is judge pen and I practice Shaolin-do.”
Everyone
“Hello judge pen.”
Anyway,
Today I worked on Hua To’s 5 animal play (Bear and Tiger) and Hsing-I 12 animals. I then did some sparring with my instructor.
We’re focusing on 3 throws right now. Waist Control Lift (Hip Throw), Shaving, and Inner Leg Hook.
I’m thinking that today we’ll start off with some falling, belt cracking, form work, and stance work for those 3 throws. Then we’ll get some reps in on the single throws themselves. (I’m thinking 10-20 per side per throw will be good as we don’t have a mat) Then I want to start working some combo throws. We’ll probably do that for 10-20 a side as well. I’m thinking we’ll start with shaving to hip throw, hip throw to inner leg hooking, and inner leg hooking to inner shaving.
After that, we’ll work on a couple counters, do some live drills, and finish off with free wrestling. It’s a nice 2 hour workout
worked on getting out of guard into mount, some arm bars, then did some randori.
nice sig!
Picked up a few moms in the kids class.
Sparring in the adults
kicking drills
forearm conditioning
forms
footwork/evasion drills
falling
This week of training has been brought to you by the letter “F”.
Today its only 2:30 and I had the day off. I slept until now. (I know I know, lazy *******, but sleep is cumulative and 2 hrs a night just wasnt cutting it)
Im going to class later… Going to start on new material, and review it over and over and over again. Probably spar. Come home, do Ironfist training, iron legs, forearm conditioning… Then probably throw the heavy bag some more. Im still kinda hurtin from the last set of 200 2 days ago tho… Oh well. Then finish up with some weights or hanging heavy bag work…
oh yeah, then stances. Always finish the workout with 10-15 minutes of stances.
I’m having some back problems… I missed a throw with a thicker girl… so I have a strain. I’ll prob. be fininishing up a wushuish form for demos… Then teach our beginner broadsword to someone for an hour, then do much on the stretching side. Maybe work on a few chin na into throws if I have time.
Well im about to head to class for tonight here in about an hour so ill post what i did when i get back. I think it would be interesting to keep this thread going and posting what you do each day. I bet we would get some really interesting ideas for some other topics from all the info posted here.
We did everything Water Dragon said we would, except he forgot to mention he seasons his classes with an ample dose of suffering.
It’s really quite delicious.
What timing .. I just walked in from class. Well, we meditated for 45 minutes, standing and sitting, shein tien chi. After bouncing my insides and outsides all over the kwoon we went outside. I then finished teaching a group our double broadsword form. After that I reviewed them on several forms. In between all of this I went through the first road of Hua and Hsing I two man set a few times.
Oh yeah I did iron hand today as well. Wanted to do iron forearm and shin too but didn’t have time for it. I’ll have to post a picture later of the contraption I put together. I had an 8 foot post I tried securing in the ground three feet deep and I knocked it loose after hitting it a few times. So, I went down to a steel shop and had a bracket welded that I now have secured to my driveway. The post doesn’t budge an inch now.
The Crippled Avenger forgot to mention that he caught me twice in free wrestling with inner leg hooking. Oh yeah, he takes the Iron Broom like a man 
shuul, you’re biting off my thread , man… I’m gonna dig up the old one.
i didnt do anything because my ribs have been killing me for over a month. no aparant reason … i didnt do anything i can think of … they just hurt like hell and havent been able to stand for more than 5 minutes until this week. i did get to sit and watch everyone else spar though.
and then on the way home my car died. appears that the altenaror took a sh it.

Hmmmm … why were you asked to quit? Don’t stop making promises, just make sure you keep them when you make them.
I got so excited that I kicked my mom in the face.
Didn’t do anything today.
Weather is way to miserable.
Cold: 18 degrees and heavy rain with winds.
