I want to get these 3 things from the community: 1. Fun new training tools 2. Connection with Martial Artists from other journeys 3. Figure out how school communities operate. For fun I like to do these 3 things: 1. Recovering Roleplayer 2. Musician 3. Movie nerd

What have i been working on the most lately? Integrating the Pai Lum Techniques I'm learning here into my regular training routine. Working on practicing the 5 elements meditation/breathing exercise. Interesting things that I've pulled from my practice/training? I've found a lot of overlap in the early on material with my other martial arts styles I practice. The one that shocked me was the 8 Point Blocking System which appears to be taught the same way here as I've learned elsewhere. What do I plan on practicing next? I plan on working towards the first form as well as the salutation to practice and learn during November.

What famous martial artists do you look up to?

Big question of the day: What inspires you all to keep up your training? Mine will be in the comments :)

What methods do people use to practice techniques that heavily require a partner to train effectively without a partner?
