I'm in wing chun right now. I just wanted to post some things which i think would help for the ""technical/rapid response" version of the martial arts sub.
Something like,
I now consciously allow any part of my body to be relaxed
There's the vertical punch in wing chun, and you must be relaxed while you project your fist. Basically you are doing an uncommitted attack because if you aim for the face and they block it, you do not compromise your center or your balance because your punches are relaxed.
Something else like
I now always remain centered in my stance when needed
or
While training or using my martial art, i will always remain in my training stance
Basically, we have a horse stance in wc. sometimes I find myself slouching, or rather not putting my weight in my horse and therefore compromise my center. I can get knocked over easier and i also cannot generate as much power as if i were fully grounded in my horse.
Also last one for now: something which addresses motivation and enjoyment, as well as a regular practice schedule for the martial art. I was told that I need to do about 10 hours of kung fu a week, with the 2 classes a week that's probably about 4 hours total for me, but the other 6 I sometimes (most of the times unfortunately) don't even bother.
There are a few more, i'll post them since I know there's a long list of other subs which need to be upgraded. I'm just someone interested in this type of sub.
