At What Point Does This Become Natural?

 

This is a little clip (well the first part anyway) of a piece of advice I gave to a student when he questioned the defence of a turning punch in Chi Sau, wondering, ‘At what point does this become natural?’

 

I also talk of the importance of ‘Letting go‘ of basics.

 

I hope this makes sense but also hope it does not encourage students to rush on without first understanding and perfecting basics as a kind of default setting.

 

Thank you.
