Pranam.

In my first post I remarked that Sifu's teachings on Standing have even influenced the way I approach my percussion practice. Last week I found another somewhat unexpected intersection.   

About 2-3 times per year I have the opportunity to attend regional SWAT training here.  I don’t jump out or off of anything, and I don’t rappel down buildings etc. with the young guys. Instead I practice shooting as much as possible - since I’m not the one paying for ammo.

around 3 weeks into standing, and this is totally different.

Sifu explained Empty Cup Beginners Mind, as setting goals with this is impossible and that helped profoundly.

I am beginning to wonder if there ever is an arguable case for 'Heavy Yi'

The more I become aware when I am using  'Heavy Yi', which is a lot more than I initially thought and spans a host of activities and not just training,  the more I see it as a Cortisol 'spiker' which leads to background or low level lingering stress or unnecessary 'activation'.
