ZOOOOOM!

Our sifu's sifu came back in for another visit. ![]() I've been training pretty consistently since he came in the first time, and since we have a lot of new guys I'm a more "senior" student in our class now, even though I still consider myself pretty intermediate. So he sat in the corner for awhile and just watched us go through our forms. Finally he got up, picked up somebody's water bottle, and poured a little into his hands. He walked over to me, flicked the water in my face and said some stuff I didn't understand. My teacher laughed and said, "my sifu says your movements need to be like flicking water. Need more energy." So the old guy motioned me over to one of our heavy bags, and he started PUMMELING the thing with his elbows. This guy's about 80 years old, the bag's 200 pounds and I thought he was going to rip it down from the ceiling. He explained to me that I have my body structure down pretty good but I need to work on "energy," moving your body in the right way at the right time, kind of like a whip; it's not going to crack if you just spin it around in circles, you need to know how to charge the line properly. So in about 20 minutes he helped me smooth out a LOT of things I felt shaky on with my forms. Then we did some basic attack and defense stuff, and he showed me how this idea applies. What was interesting was, the more aggressive I was, the more he was able to work with that and throw me around. Then he stepped back, said, "much better! Flick more water," laughed and left. That old guy's so awesome.
