depending what you try to accomplish

each gong method has different prerequisite or requirement.

usually we need drilling of a certain move. it is increased in intensity over time. thus boring, I consider them chores.

for example, in tong bei

there is this relaxation of the wrist joint or fo wan gong.

there are so many drills that needed to be repeated

1. bending back as far as you can, relax, repeat

2. bending forward as far as you can, relax, repeat

3. shaking up and down relax, repeat (shuai shou)

4. swirling clockwise 25 times, relax and repeat

5. swirling counterclockwise 25 times, relax and repeat

on and on

the whole session can be a few minutes to 45 minutes or longer.

over time

you increase the intensity and even adding weights/rings around the wrist

or grabbing a weighted ball or bar,

--

do you think that all this chores or not chores
