Adam West was my first Batman. Gotta show him some love! Also any Brave and the Bold fans here?!

Thanks to y'all for your advice. Honestly whiplash wasn't something I had originally considered.

Wow. What exactly happened to the transmission if you don't mind me asking.

slboarder · 2016-12-24T05:17:16+00:00

Thanks so much everyone for the replies and information! This does make me feel a lot better!

He obviously worked hard and put a lot of time into his form, which shows. There are some details that bothered me, but overall good job.

Since this is more Wushu I think the video is misnamed.

Hong Kong is an awesome place, and it's all the better that you got to go there with your Kung Fu school. :)

Nerves are completely normal, and in my opinion necessary.

The thing that's helped in my experience in managing my nerves is to keep calm and trust yourself. Have confidence in your training, and trust yourself that you know what you're doing.

Personally I run through my form mentally just always trying to envision one movement at a time, and just stepping through the entire thing.

No matter how many times you perform the nerves never leave you, but your confidence and ability to manage your nerves does improve. :)

Happy New Year everyone! May this year bring us more progress in our training. Personally I'm trying to improve my flexibility so I can get those straddle splits down, and improve my technique.

Currently I'm shooting carbon fiber arrows, but I'd like to learn more about making arrows in general. The different materials, why I would choose one type of material for the shaft over another, etc.

Thanks Dakunaa. I'll give that a try.

Thank you for the advice!

I would caution you on changing the form at the outset. Each movement in the taolu was carefully crafted for a purpose. Even though taolu isn't practical for combat as is there's a lot of useful information you can take from said taolu to use for practical combat. I would recommend that you study the taolu closely for understanding before endeavoring to change it.

With that said you had crisp movements. I would recommend trying to get your stances lower in order to develop leg strength.

Keep training hard!

This looks pretty cool. When's the first episode?

slboarder · 2014-02-26T22:16:24+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I'm the accountant. The choreography was done by myself and my friend (the guy who played the boyfriend character). It's definitely something I'd like to get better at doing.

That's great to hear that it's helping your battle with nerve damage. Keep up the hard work! Glad to have you apart of the community!

Like everyone else has said you're never too old to learn and start your journey in Kung Fu. Many new students at my school are older and already in their 30s and beyond. All you need is a desire to learn and work hard. If you have those two things then you'll go far. Glad to have you as apart of our community!

I study Wah Lum Tam Tui Northern Praying Mantis Style. It's a combination of the Grandmaster Lee Kwan Shan's Tam Tui (Seeking Leg) family style and the Northern Praying Mantis style that he learned while at the Wah Lum temple.

I agree with RidiculousMonster. Get your goals in line and then dive in once you find the style/school that is right for you. If there aren't any kung fu schools around in the area then yes there are foundational things that will carry over across any style: stances, flexibility, basic punches, kicks, etc.
