FORMS ARE JUST MOVEMENT, IMPORTANT MOVEMENT, BUT STILL JUST MOVEMENT.

Rule #1, move as well as a normal person can move when they are just being normal.

Hey Guys, picture this.

We are watching a sporting event, pick your favourite flavour on this, and one player catches our eye, they are not doing anything outrageously special, but everything they do is effortless, smooth, focused and uncluttered.

Our thought is that this person is an elite sportsperson.

Why?

Because they move so well.

This thought exercise holds true for any sport, so it is obviously not the movements themselves, after all, different sports use different actions.

Rule #1, move as well as a normal person can move when they are just being normal.

As I mentioned, different sports use different moves because they have different goals and agendas.

So do different martial arts.

But in their hearts, they are all just the same human movements.

The takeaway from this thought experiment is that nothing we do will be of any benefit to us if we do not move well as a person.

Despite the hype around Wing Chun Forms, they are just our IDEA of a normal movement that meets our specific needs.
