Relax Your Body With The Mind Stay On Focus

Relax your entire body with the mind focus in each and every movement of your body and limbs. A focus mind would brings you to a meditative state as you’re performing a taolu(routine set). Let your awareness observes and feel the happening of each form being the orientation of the body, the route of the handwork’s movement, the gaining of momentum, the exertion of impact force and the coordination between hands and legs.


Observing how each form emerging with its route of movement and momentum. And as it disappeared, another will rise and disappear again, and so on. Just relax your muscle while the mind stays focus and perform you taolu slowly, step by step manner. It is also important to allow yourself the time to observe your own movement. So this is the time you’re improving your kung fu gradually.

When you are practicing, do not have an imaginary opponent in your mind. Your mind is suppose to focus solely in what you perform physically. So to let the body and mind combined into one.

I had thought about writing this note at the beginning but I don’t know where to start from until I came across Mr. Adam Hsu’s article title “Relax”. I had this article of his posted in my blog previously. He is very right that in Chinese traditional wushu, you cannot rush things out to get the result. Give yourself the time to learn and re-learn. And that is what I am doing now in my wushu practice.
