OK...I went to check out a CLF class last night and all I can say is I'M HOOKED!

What an amazing experience. As weird as it sounds, after a long time in no-man's land, I feel like I found my art. What's really amazing is the opportunity came from nowhere. It was something I was not really considering but man am I glad I made the call.

Amazing! Truly amazing!

Good for you! What kind of things did you practice--forms, techniques, sensitivity drills...?

Pretty much all of the above. Techniques/sets, stances/stepping and sensitivity drills. I got to watch some of the sparring too which was really great - much different that I'm used to.

Thanks.

That's cool. The biggest thing I can offer is to not get in to the politics too much, loosen your waist & shoulders & listen... that'll get you way down the road in CLF.

Enjoy!

Thanks. Will do.
I may some trouble initially with the waist/shoulder thing but I'm sure I'll get there. Seeing the instructor move last night was eye-opening in that regard. Relaxed power. It was cool to watch.

Congratulations, Yeti! I know that feeling (different art, tho), and there's nothing like it. Enjoy!

CLF is a great kung fu style. It's only going to get better. Best of luck in your training.

So, this Tigress thing runs in the family, huh? :EG:

Remind me not to cross you--or your daughter. :ultracool
LOL! My daughter is a real firecracker with an evil sense of humor. :D

Sorry to hijack your thread Yeti. Please let us know how your next class went. :)

But in this thread they're talking about a southern chinese fist set called Choy Lee Fut,
also spelled Choy Li Fut, Choy Lay Fut, and in Mandarin it's Cai Li Fo.
