:confused:

what would happen if...

you did the forms in exact reverse?
would it stagnate the chi?
kill you?
make you get hit alot?

or... be a really good way to experience more of wing chun without having to invent anything new, just do it all backwards

(maybe i should patent this first?)

The sequences of the forms have no significance from a health cultivation point of view. If you did everything with the breathing wrong, it might mess you up a little, but it feels so weird only a nutcase would continue for very long.

Some say there are quasi-mystical connotations, but realistically they were just put in a sequence that seemed logical to the founders.

It's interesting and worthwhile to practice the forms and dummy both in reverse sequence and as a mirror image.

WARNING: if you do this, there is a significance chance you will die sometime in the next 150 years.
