I start to think whether I should replace my 1000 punching drill by
- 10 different drills 100 times each, or
- 20 different drills 50 times each, or
- ...
I wonder which will give me the most benefit. Any suggestion?
purely speculating here, but
if your goal is 1000 techniques in a day
Doing 1000 of 1 technique may give you more, IF you are able to concentrate on every detail of that technique for 1000 reputations. However the risk of getting lazy or boredom is high which could actually go against what you are trying to achieve
10 different drills 100 times each would likely be easier to stay focused on and not lead to laziness or boredom quite as easily,
20 different drills 50 times each again less chance of boredom, but how much of the 20 different things are you going to remember. My first shifu once taught me 30 different forms in 5 different style (Chen Taiji, Bagua, Xingyi staff, Shaolin Long fist, Wu style Jian) in one day and I remembered almost none of it
What is the goal of this 1000/day of 1 form supposed to be? I guess that is what I would be asking myself.
I did 100 a day of one form for a week (right and left totaling 200) and I gained a lot. But if I was not careful somewhere around 50 my mind would start wandering. By the 5th week and the 5th form my concentration was much better, but I think if I tried 1000 at some point I would go on automatic pilot and not be paying attention to what I was doing
