Fighting applications of your salutation/bow?

[Becca]

I'm just curious as to how many people actually know the fighting applications found within their styles bow/salutation?


If you know of them do you also drill them or work these applications?

For the short bow, yes. I am not yet special enough to get to do the full bow.

And at one time I was tought the whole form the bow was derived from. But I was a friggin newb who hadn't yet figured out that I needed to keep and nuture my forms as I might not get to see that form again for many, many years, if ever.

I have learned my lesson and now cling to my non-caricular forms with much tenacity. Not to say I don't goof them. But Sifu has never minded correcting a form that has mistakes but has also obviously been practiced.
