I am wasting my time vacuuming one day instead of training because well, everyone knows why you vacuum instead of train or do something enjoyable. Anyway, I'm feeling disgruntled. I am not a maid to do someone else's bidding and getting on my knees scrubbing the floor. I hate that. So I'm vacuuming and I'm getting tired of using my arms to push the vacuum around. So I drop my shoulder, drop my elbow and put it close to my body and I take a step. Well whaddya know? No effort from my arms at all. So I take another step and it's .. surprise, step-hit timing power! And the vacuum cleaner goes forward. I drop to a sei-ping ma with the cleaner across me, shift to a dinji-ma, and bam! Stance transition power. The vacuum moves without any effort in my arms. So now I'm wondering what else I can be doing. Maybe I should just stick to good structure and step-hit timing. Anyone else just find that they're doing this every day? Maybe some of you drop into a horse stance while brushing your teeth. Or you're hitting eucalyptus trees doing Da Sam Sing to scare your co-workers. Me, I'm using it to fight off the Imperial Chinese Army that keeps invading my mud hut. And to clean said mud hut.
Lol PLEASE post a vid of that Beknar I went to London last week and found myself trying to work on my balance on the tube and not hold on to anything,it seemed to work actually! Not tried anything while doing the housework yet.I will try anything that makes cleaning the bathroom more fun!
Well I found myself beating up a carpet last night while doing some decorating, it makes a suprisingly good target when rolled up
I can appreciate this. I have found myself brushing my teeth in various stances, and at work if I am looking in the filing cabinets, i often drop down into horse stance when no-one is looking.
Yes, I will admit to keeping my balance while the commuter train is moving. It's much better in the winter.
I do WC footwork while using a urinal. If only just to make a game of it, and to discourage people standing next to me lol.
I cant really add anything here, not so much because i dont do CMA...rather i dont do any house work! I did however go through a stage where whenever i caught a glimpse of my self in the mirror, i had to do a bruce lee 'way of the dragon' style backfist to observe my devastating speed and ferocious power.
You should see the apes at the gym flexing in front of the mirror. The mirrors are _supposed_ to be there for you to check your form while you're lifting .. but most people just use them to check themselves out. Terrible!!
LMAO, i don't know how i didn't see that to begin with! However i would think that peeing down your centreline into someone less' motherline would really be annoyed.
The mental image of that is a man squeezing his buttcheeks together hoping not to get brutally sodomized by random lava chucking ninjas off the streetz... But in response to the topic at hand.. I usually find myself holding a kneeling stance from tang lang while I work.. (auto body tech... sometimes being tall is not a blessing)
My senior classmate told me he does his Ma Bu while he's working on his patients. He's an Oral Surgeon. Me? When I can get away with it I'm always trying to fine tune my structure. That or banging arms on random objects. You still doing that polework in the museum Su?
When i started training i started by mopping.... horse, pivot, mop... repeat repeat repeat...lol grueling...
Not just recently Bandit I intend to take it up again soon though! I have a great place to train at lunchtimes in our Great Hall,it's huge with a stone floor.
Confession time, at work I take frequent toilet breaks but they take longer than other peoples because, I drop to horse stance while washing my hands and drying them, I stretch and observe my fighting stance in the mirror etc. I always take the stairs and do a nice stop and roll (FMA anyone?) when opening doors, I take the bus and also stand the whole way, without holding on M colleagues probably think I have diarrhoea or bowel trouble, I just cant stand sitting at a desk all day!
I'm now sat at my desk practising bits of my new form Luckily noone can see in to my office as I work in the middle of a park.
