How are you getting on?

Been working on my general cardio endurance so I can handle so many large sets, and I’ve got dit da jow and acupuncture needles on standby so I don’t wear myself out. Gonna spend the lead up doing a few sets a day to warm up for the big event.

My preparation has drawn heavily from the “luk sau jik choy” part of wing chun. if I have a spare moment between housework or uni I do a quick set of punches just as something to do with my hands.

4800 at 13.00, got the family over for the afternoon, gonna be a busy evening!

First 20,000 done 👊😃🥵

On my 2nd day took care of 20k punches earlier today. Mixed up and down with The Lin Wan Kuen method 2x (1 round of 2k punches as Sifu noted). It felt pretty good. Not as scary as I though at the beginning. Before that I was doing 3x 1k punches separated by Siu Lim Tao – then Chum Kiu and then Muk Yan Jong Fat – and for the last few weeks I’ve switched to 5k punches per training.
When started the challenge I’ve noticed few things.
1. While practicing wooden dummy form – my hands know better what to do:). I mean the feeling is so much different and I know it’s not about the speed but there is a feeling of the buildup of energy and speed after 20k of punches.
2. Originally was planning to break up punches in small series and accomplish them trough the whole day – for me it’s working way better if I take care of them in a series earlier in the morning (if I don’t have any work meetings) and then recover and practice pure forms later in the evening.

Again thanks Sifu for this challenge. It brought Wing Chun way closer to my daily practice.

Week 1 down – 100,000 up! Just doing 10x50s at every opportunity I get. Soon adds up!
