Hey, what's up? it's been pretty boring around here, where'd ev'rybody go?
Anyways, I am putting this out to the sifu's out there, and hope to read some of your student success stories. I wanted to share this one because as a sifu i love seeing the fruits of my labor.
On wed this week during class i was teaching a very sneaky technique my sifu calls the duck kick. anyways, one of my students we nicknamed golden panther because of his speed is only about 160 lbs. And "Iron OX" one of my other students (just weighed in at a solid 315 lbs, the both of the them were going through some drill techniques against each other. Well golden panther executed the duck kick but traded it in for instead of a been choy for an elbow to the kidneys then shot forward for another elbow strike and sent the big 315 lbs Iron ox flying about 10 feet away. i mean he tumled head over heals backwards, and i couldn't stop laughing because one of my students made something i taught him worke against a guy twice his size. I couldn't stop laughing. then they sparred again and golden panther did the same technique again and sent Iron ox flying once again, proving that the techinque was highly effective.
I was happy because they proved to me that they are understanding what i am teaching and that also gives my students confidence that what they are learning from me is not something meant to be for the studio, it actually works out in the street. and for a guy that is only about 160 and to knock a guy down who's over 300 lbs, man thats gotta feel good.
SO, what i am asking from the teachers is what were some of the moments when you yourself saw the light bulb go off over your students head. I would love to hear some of those stories.
