    [QUOTE=Almost A Ghost;882812]Everyday I try to do a 1000 punches.

    1. Siu Nim Tao three times
    2. 500 Punches broke down into 5 sets, I count every 4 punch to my mind thinks it's doing less
    Siu Nim Tao one time
    3. 500 Punches
    4. Siu Nim Tao three more times

    this sounds good...

    And Siu Nim Tao, that I remember is the wing chun form. am I correct?

    Just the standard Wing Chun vertical straight punch from the wu-sao (guard). Left, right, left, right...etc. But I count every fourth punch so the count goes "left, right, left, right" as 1. So instead of counting to 100 I only count to 25 and just do that 10 times.

    My instructor also told me of punching 1, then 1-2, then 1-2-3, all the way to 10 (55 punches when added together). You could start each set of 1 with the hand that's in the wu-sao or relax the punching hand into the lead guard and then start the count again from that lead hand. e.g. Left, Left-right, right-left-right, right-left-right-left, left-right-left-right-left, etc.

    This punching pattern was taught to me during my stint at a TWC school in Calgary, Alberta (Brian Lewadny's club) to get the hands to work independently. I still like it and show it.
