Lots of negativity coming from CLF in this forum.
I just wanted to inject a counterbalance.
Choy Lay Fut is really extraordinary. Of course, it can make strong people even stronger, but it can also make the "weaker" into the strong. I view myself in the latter category.
I see it happening a lot, especially with the people the the little Kung-Fu club I started here. I mean, these people start off with absolute zero coordination, flexibility, or balance and give them a month or so, an they are rock and rolling with the 10 elements! They hit the pads incredibly hard, and generate power they never knew they had before.
One guy in the club has arthritis in his left knee, so he can't make his stances all that low, but he is able to twist his waist and drop into his legs to generate power. He used to be all stiff, but now he is all limber and can hit harder than me!
Any other CLF folks have anecdotes about students who over came huge obstacles through CLF?
Peace,
