It is your journey and your choice.
Richard asked if I could put a post up to cover as much of Chum Kiu as I could, I am pretty sure it will be of use to a few of you.
First off, when listening to anyone about any Form from any style stay aware of the fact that a Form is nothing more than a structural framework that allows the concepts to be laid out in a way that makes sense to the right person at the right time.
In due course we will all interpret the information [any Form] in a way that fits the way we think and compliments the way we move.
Remain mentally flexible.
Let’s get to it.
What is the best way to approach Chum Kiu?
We can approach Chum Kiu in as many ways as we can think up, it can be super simple such as “How many new moves are the in Chum Kiu that I need to understand”?
The answer to this is just 2?!
Pivoting and Shifting.
Or we can dig deep into every nuanced interpretation and now there are millions of ways.
The best is, as with everything, start small and grow, from the super simple to the insanely complex.
It is your journey and your choice.
