I was floating around on the web yesterday and stopped in on the EWTO website to catch WT GM Kernspecht's latest editorial. He was discussing the "forms" of WT. He mentioned the 6 classical sets (SNT, Chum Kiu, Biu Tze, Mook Yang Jong, Luk Dim Boon Kwun Fa, and the Bart Cham Dao) and also included the WT systems 26 two man training sets (the "Lat sau" and Chi-Sau sections. The total comes to 32 solo and two man sets. Some are short, but even so, isn't that a lot to take in? Especially for a system known for streamlining its forms and techniques?
Personally, as I move officially into my senior years (55 now) I find that it's hard to keep up with an ever expanding curriculum in the sub-system I train in. I'm just hoping to some day reach a level where I don't have to try to remember it all.... and instead get to a point where that's just how I'll move. 'Cause if I actually have to actually memorize that much stuff... I'm screwed!
Anyway, do your WC systems or lineages also have this volume of material? Either way, do you think that that is too much or not?
