In the past I've done Keumgang and would like to try a higher up form per my 2nd dan and choose Pyyongwong. So any advice on that form that you could give me for...

I know this should probably be placed in the General Section but still worthy of a post here cause admit it. We've all been influenced by Bruce Lee at some point in our training. Loved the man for his philosophy and how he helped revolutionize the martial arts...
