Its not about flowing. An opponent/aggressor will seldom provide you an opportunity to “flow”. It is about fighting.
A safe training environment would be a great place to let loose your inhibitions and do whatever you feel resembles a state of flowing. However, the street is a more discerning environment, rarely allowing you to flow. It is about fighting.
Gung Fu can be like karate, or it can be like water. Whatever the expression, assessment is not a subjective experience i.e. how does it feel, how does it appear but is objective i.e. how effective was it?
Stop flowing, start fighting.
First time back in a few weeks. Still got this dry cough. Night sweats. Headache.
I plug in the music. Yellow handwraps and 16oz black gloves at my chin. I’m so cold.
Jab. Cross. Rip. Kick. Rinse and repeat. And then it comes…
…my chest burns and it hurts. I’m back in the game.
