More Hung????
Apprentice. You really need to simply find an instructor this is not really helping, as is obvious from the number and more particualy the types of questions your asking.
Ill do my best for you anyway. As i told you last time this is my training and how ive been taught dont take it as gospell...
1) What's their stances like? (low, everchanging, no stance work)
- Stances are usualy low though can be adapted, stabiltiy is the main factor. Yes we certainly will change stance when required:/
2)* What's their footwork like?
-Footwork involves angle of attack and how to position for best power generation.
3)* Attack points?/Strategies (ie. centerline, angles)
- Do as much damage as possible in the shortest space of time... Seriously we attack anything, though pressure points are the more advanced targets. We use both centreline and angle theory. Centreline is about delivery of force and angle is about positioning for defence and maximum damage.
4) Attack distances? (far, close, trapping, ground)
- I told you this once before i hope your reading these replys. ANY although inclose is preferable for many techniques there all adaptable. System not style. We dont limit ourselfs to one distance that would be futile.
5)* Starting attacks? (jab, finger strike, kick, whatever is most common)
-Totaly up to the practioner. Im a tiger man at the moment so my leading attacks are often claws aimed at my opponents limbs. My sifu often uses plain fists. Again commiting yourself to anything is a crappy idea...
6) How long does it take before you are taught how to "Flow" with your techniques?
-When you know several and can easily display them with power speed and accuracy, then you might start stringing them together.
Any movements can be put into a combo, Hung can make unlimited combinations.
7)* Do you spar? When did you start? How often do you?
-Depends on the school, we do but only at higher levels and its pretty controlled. For eg my instructor can punch harder than i can block in a real fight he would litteraly go strait though my blocks. This deosnt mean i cant block its just becouse his 'ging' is much stronger than mine.
8)* Does it take long before you can see how and why it works?
-Yet again totaly dependent on the student. I picked up a lot of the theorys and ideals pretty quickly becouse i had a good background. Some obviously take much longer. Some things are easyer for some people than others. I find tiger power much easyer to understand than say leopard.
9)* What do you do in class, curriculum wise, such as pushups, forms, running, anything, and in what order?
-This is going to depend a lot on the actualy class YOU take... In mine we do qi gong, followed by stretching and warm ups. Then into bridgework[strength building] and stances. We then do some conditioning and practical application. If your a junior you then go home if your a senior you stay around for forms and advanced qigung practice.
As i said to you once before one thing about Hung...
The training is hard as rocks! One of the main reasons im there is becouse normaly im not the most self diciplined persons and by forcing myself though this I know i can build my charactor.
Sometimes you have to eat bitter to taste sweet.
Up and down, forward and backward, left and right, its all the same. All of this is done with the mind, not externaly.
