I celebrated by doing them all in succession. :cool:

Where are the rest of you BSLers in your training? NorthernShaolin, brother Gene: any advice for someone who just completed the ten... other than doing them every day ;) . Even before I finished, I've been doing as much of the ten as I knew with an elder classmate (Don) at every opportunity. It's a good warm-up :p .

Also, is there some grand scheme to the ten? Or are they just ten sequences of movements and I'm thinking about it too hard?

let me save gene an extra step here (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=156) :)

nice to have a good composite of bak si lum. now that you have all 10 sets, the next question would appropriately be, what to do with them, or what can you do with them ;) focus your energy on unlocking the applications and finer nuances of the forms so you can truly appreciate the special relationship they have with each other and the framework behind their organization. that's all i have to say...

Congrats Ravenshaw.

As gene said. Now you can start training Bak Sil Lum. If I may ask. What order did you learn them in? And does your School also teach the Bak Sing Choy Li Fut system? This was also passed down by our Si Gong. Along with many other goodies...=]

Good Training

LZS, thanks.

I learned the sets somewhat out of order, since everybody in my group were in different places and our Sifu (Wing Lam) would teach the one most people needed:
6, 7, 8, 5, 4, 9, 1, 10, 2, 3

The usual progression for our school is:
6, 7, 8, 5, 4, 1, 2, 3, 9, 10

Choy Lay Fut is not a part of our curriculum, though our school does have other supplementary sets like Cha #4, the Lok Hop broadsword and spear forms, and two mantis sets that our Sifu no longer teaches.
