Hey Guys,
Just a quick IDEA to consider that arose from a conversation I was having with Sam and Saleh last night.
The one thing above all else that ‘Combat Athletes’ mock Kung Fu players for is the way we talk about using ‘Energ’.
You all know that I am not a practitioner of Magical Thinking, I always try to firmly ground everything in known science, but there is no doubt that the Human Body is an ‘Energy Body’.
Calling this energy Chi or Nim Lik, {while this drives me crazy and I think that this IDEA is B.S.} Are we really just arguing over words, arguing over how we describe Kinetic {moving} and Potential {stored} energy in the human body?
The Science that informs my thinking tells me that ‘Energy can neither be created of destroyed, it just changes state”, this is the LAw of the Conservation of energy.
At its centre is Kung Fu essentially a system for converting energy.
A method of converting Potential energy into Kinetic Energy.
The ultimate goal of our training is to be able to perform this conversion under pressure and at will.
Think about this and see if you can feel the kinetic energy involved in doing the Form.
This is the GOOD JU-JU.
Trying to describe a feeling through a video is to be expected impossible, that is why we need to experience this together, but if you can think back a couple of years when we spemt a fair bit of time understanding ‘Core Winding’ especially in relation to individual muscles, that is where it lives.
Work on your weakness, but trust in your strength.

… you can find it.”
