There Will Be Sweat

Probably some blood too. No tears though. Never tears.

This is my training log.

Kung Fu class

Pretty standard class warmup, some basic technique drills, then into the fun stuff for the day. Led the guys through some partner drills and spent a little time working Ji Mo Seung Do after class.

Super quick warmup of 10! pushups, squats, situps to save on time and then into some hand techniques. Worked with partners and with the pads and got a decent sweat. Did a bit of Ng Ying Kuen afterwards. I love that form.

Kung Fu practice

Cooled down after my run with a little Tiet Sien Kuen. I hate to practice in running shoes, but I had limited options tonight. Focused on cooling down and releasing the chi. I was actually steaming at times, which is unusual when the weather is so hot.

Kung Fu class

Ran through a standard warmup and some bridge training before working on some hand techniques tonight. We worked on a few techniques to defend against grabs - chin ji sau and taking the horse to the stable from Gung Ji. Had a mixed crew but everyone was getting the hang of it by the end of class.

Out by the Old Stone House for a little Tiet Sien Kuen after my run. I was originally planning on regulating and relaxing, but the chi was flowing well and the power just came. Felt pretty good.

Kung Fu class

Took the class through a standard warmup followed by some basic drills and stance training, then into forms. I got to do a little work on my hand forms here and there, but spent most of my time teaching today.

Small class tonight. I got in early to run through Tiet Sien Kuen and work on Ng Lung Ba Gwa Cheung a bit. Did a decent pushup/slug crawl/situp warmup and some stance training before going into the technique.

Kung Fu class

Standard warmup followed by some stance training and stuff. Helped the fellas with their forms but I didn’t get too much work in for myself. I didn’t have a ton of time and wanted to get a conditioning workout in since it was nice and hot.

After the warmup we ran through the beginning section of Gung Ji with some rings a few times, then a couple of times without rings. Straight technique work after that and I spent some time working my hands and forearms on the gravel bag.

Kung Fu practice

Started by running through Tiet Sien Kuen with light power. I’m still tentative to really let it go since my mysterious hip injury isn’t 100% yet. I don’t want to pop a stitch or anything. I also spent some time working the hard chi gung to get my forearms and legs some work.

Good to be back at the school. Ran the class tonight with a standard warmup, some bridge training, and form work. Hung around after to do some extra forearm/hand conditioning on the gravel bag.

Enough is enough, back on the horse. Ran through Tiet Sien Kuen nice and light and felt only moderate discomfort. I’m just going to have to scale back the intensity of my kf workouts, but I gotta get them in. Injuries are the worst.

Kung Fu class

Abbreviated class for me tonight but I got a good sweat in anyway. Did some drills with the guys and worked on a few hand forms after class.

Kung Fu practice

Ran through Tiet Sien Kuen by the Old Stone House after my run to get the lead out of my legs. I aggravated my wrist near the beginning and had to dial it back and focus on regulating. Not my most productive session.

I did something to eff up my wrist, so I went easy on the warmup today. Helped out with today’s technique and then stuck around after class to work on Fu Hok Seung Ying Kuen a bit and helped my buddy out with the Yu Ga Dai Pa.
