There are at least three traditional methods to train kung fu forms: the Diamond Cutting Method, the Divide and Conquer Method, and Saturation Training.
In a nutshell, in the Diamond Cutting Method there are 9 ways (or "facets" of the diamond) to work your form and each facet represents one aspect that you hone. In the Divide and Conquer Method, break the form down into small roads and work them individually, and Saturation Training is to put in large repetitions of the form as you are learning it.
I wrote a new book called Old School Kung Fu that goes into much more detail and it can be purchased at

Yes it's a shameless plug, but...
1. This book was written specifically for guys like you. You have a Sifu and are training in a traditional kung fu system (I am assuming) but just need something more. You have the material but just need someone to show you how to work it so you can advance more quickly.
2. The book is written to benefit any kung fu student, regardless of the style they practice or their current skill level.
3. I need the money! LOL!!!
