Buddha's Diamond Kung Fu Saber segment- still at it!
Im going to try slowing down the vids, I wont narrate the videos but I will slow the motions to show each small movement and the transition to the next. More educational, and demonstrative, less performance

Kung Fu Saber- Buddha's Diamond Saber Form
Just the opening, I want to post several vids of this form broken down into small sections. Practicing the form requires you break it down and practice small sections at a time so I think watching it needs

Staff Flower- Can you see intention?
One video is a warm up with the Flower and the other is putting intention into the movement. The movements alone are not the technique but how you do them and where you put your mind when you do them.

Horse Stance shape workout- stretch into the reps
in between form drills I sometimes make a good horse stance, Ma Bo (Mah Bo), and rise and fall in it 10-20 times. When you force yourself down to level thighs you can really feel your hip muscles around

Kung Fu Saber form- wrap it around your body
This form counts as my short weapon despite it being 30" long, however the way you can wrap it around your body and use it for close deflections and blocks makes me rethink my position haha while
