What have you completely thrown out of your catalog?
honestly - Lion Dancing.
Any technique done in contemporary wushu. Anything to do with hitting pressure points or dim mak. Any technique claiming to stop the heart, cause internal bleeding or shatter bone into a million pieces.
Master of Shaolin I-Ching Bu Ti, GunGoPow and I Hung Wei Lo styles.
I am seeking sparring partner. Any level. Looking for blondes or redhead. 5'2" to 5'9". Between 115-135 weight class. Females between 17-30 only need apply. Will extensively work on grappling.
Techniques we can do away with:
The techniques that leave the arm extended after a punch.
5-hit combos that you perform on your opponent while is arm his extended after a punch.

"I am the cosmic storms, I am the tiny worms" -- Dimmu Borgir
<BombScare> i beat the internet
<BombScare> the end guy is hard.
I have personally done away with using any form of striking stationary stakes like they do in ba gua or like when Jet Li was hitting all those balls away doing tai chi. I have done away with using any form of wooden dummy because practicing your footwork on something stationary is pointless when your opponents move around.
why did you give up lion dancing?honestly - Lion Dancing.

Bruh we thought you knew better
when it comes to head huntin, ain't no one can do it better
Very true. I was talking about from a footwork point of view and not a conditioning one.
I was told once that you strike a bunch of posts and keep moving because this symbolizes fighting multiple opponents. This is the kind of stuff I get rid of in my training. If you say it makes your hands harder fine but do not say this will prepare you in case of a massive jailbreak.
There is a technique I was taught, a circular scissors like block followed with an upward swing under the armpit, kinda like chyun pow, but instead of uppper cut at the end was more of an upward swinging forearm/longarm, that, for one application, was intended to disrupt/dislocate another person's shoulder. It seems like it could never work to me, at least with any practical efficiency. Although I practice the movement in form, I have more or less thrown that out of anything I want to draw from.

-Jack Dempsey ch1 pg1 Championship FightingWhat would happen if a year-old baby fell from a fourth-floor window onto the head of a burly truck driver, standing on the sidewalk?
It's practically certain that the truckman would be knocked unconscious. He might die of brain concussion or a broken neck.
Even an innocent little baby can become a dangerous missile WHEN ITS BODY-WEIGHT IS SET INTO FAST MOTION.
I think I can live without the butterfly kick.
