It took a long while to get the steps and rhythm of Da Luohan to where there is some flow and honestly its a serious grind. Ironically, you're article with Shi De Cheng was what sparked my interest in the correct way of walking this road, the other Da Luohan I was practicing was actually JinTong Luohan Quan, this version taught by Shi De Yang and Shi De Cheng was called Lao Luohan Quan, and has only a couple variations. Its the right one though and takes a lot of drilling segment by segment. I spent months on each segment. Just to get to some fundamental fluidity.
Needless to say, at this point, between research and sweat, Im too invested in it to stop practicing it now lol....
And I still read your book and articles all the time . Such a treasure map, and reservoir of insight
