I was just thinking how I move like a cat, a caterpillar D9 that is. That's pretty much how I view myself during my amateur hour attempt at Tai Chi and many other aspects of my Kung Fu. It's not always this graceful though! I'm just glad Sifu Dennis or Sifu Vantuil hasn't had to view this slaughter of a fine art.
Every since last years boot camp when I was introduced to a number of internal Kung Fu training such as walking meditation, Tai Chi, and something I was never exposed too, Nygong,(spelling?) I was hooked, But I was intrigued and some what surprised at the feelings and results of that day. The internal power and burning sensation of actually feeling Chi to that level was something that was amazing and I hope by years end I can dispatch and utilize my Chi as necessary and into more aspects of my Kung Fu. I have felt it since but not to that level.... yet.
I feel I am getting closer though as it has come around more often the last while during form reps and during my caterpillar D9 Tai Chi. Some days I really connect with it while doing clouded hands?? The physical part of the six harmonies are in check, when my hands start to tingle and my weight transfers are feeling perfect, it's something I can't really describe but I do know this much, I feel light as a feather, but have the power to pick up a truck and throw it. I really enjoy the intensity of my mind at this time. I am relaxed but extremely focused. I am in touch with every sound, every movement around me and am ready to react if I had to, but not in a tense way, when I'm there I could shatter a bolder if it was thrown at me, but my mind wouldn't flinch, back to calm. Overall it's pretty damn cool. Other times I look like I am having a seizure and there is absolutely no connection to anything, and nothing is working in unison. Oh well, all on the quest for mastery and the depths of old school Kung Fu. See you at the Kwoon.
