So I have been staying very focused on the 6 harmonies in my
forms ... its been frustrating to say the least. It does not seem to matter which form I do I
am like a light fixture thats shorting out.
I will go thru parts that flow really nice and I am feeling it ...
grounded ... feeling the power moving thru the movement and then pfft, the
light goes out and nothing! Mostly it
happens when I am not in a horse stance or bow stance ... there is something
not 100% correct in the cat stance and when I do things like attacks to
opponents behind me or I am retreating. Maybe
its just my visualization/interpretation of what is happening that messes me up
but I crash and burn badly in those types of moves. Sifu Brinker yet again explained the
harmonies in the cat stance ... so the plan is start with the move before a cat
stance and the move after in a number of different forms and hopefully I will
be able to establish the connection/flow throughout. Wish me luck!
I think that the 6 harmonies and the forms are the heart of SRKF. I too am challenged with applying the harmonies into my forms. I've been working lots on "18 Temple Motions" but only when I started working with sifu Regier for the demo, I started paying attention to the details and to the harmonies. I too have a long way to cover.
