how much can one learn from practice a set?

What is practicing a set mean?

What do you learn? what skill? and what to master?

Care to share?

[k gledhill]

its painfully simple with the right information...

[Hendrik]

Any value at all practicing set?

[sanjuro_ronin]

sometimes things are so obvious.

[Lucas]

what can you learn doing a form? depends on how many times you do it

Forms or linked sets are simply a remnant of a really poor teaching method. Practicing a set means you are wasting time.

i would say thats a well thought out personal opinion that likely works perfectly in your life.

however for me personally, the times that i practice one of the few sets i still practice, its definately not a waste of my time. i love it, its fun, gets my heart rate up in a few seconds, i could go on and on, seriously i could. so for me, no not a waste of time at all.

its as fullfilling as listening to a young childs innocent laugh. neither do i find a waste of my time. just all depends on what you are looking for in life.

oh i suppose i should mention i dont practice wing chun sets.

Many people like horizontal folk dancing.

Probably not bada$$ enough for you though, T.

And some people watch tv, drink beer, have too much sex and take prescription chemical drugs. i dont do any of that, id rather do a form or two instead. better for my over all health hands down.

I'll forgo the prescription drugs (what about the unprescribed ones?), but I'll take the TV, beer and too much sex (none of the nerds on here would be getting much, though, let alone too much).

I can do all those, and forms too!

rofl, thats just it, you CAN do it all. who spends 100% of their awake training? i certainly dont. besides the couple of shaolin sets i maintain take roughly 30 seconds to do. unless your a b!tch ass....

actually i just realized, if i cut my showers short by 2 minutes and finish my morning craps 2 minutes early i could do 4 routines without losing any productivity!

You and me both, though one of my NY resolutions was to be as slack as possible at work and not get fired.

And it does nothing for our fighting skills.
