3rd Black Belt
Hey all,
Knowing how much i love to learn and practice forms, and having learned all the required forms for my next belt level, my instructor has taught me the Perfect Weapon Form. I am having a blast learning this form and i was wondering if anyone else has tried to piece it together from the movie.
I know when i watched it (before learning it) i would be able to pick up a technique here and there, but now watching it and knowing exactly what Mr. Speakman is going to do next, just makes it that much more intense.
My instructor tells me that it contains a lot of techs from my next Long Form 6 (as well as techs from 4) and has really helped to firm up the left/right aspect of the weapon techs for me. (A FUN CHALLENGE!) I also find it to be a nice workout (more kicks than in the my earlier forms).
The only problem i'm having is watching the video and doing the still-frames with the remote - as far as i know it hasn't been released on DVD. I am thinking of taking the video snippet and burning to a CD or DVD, so i can watch frame by frame. Thank goodness for modern technology! Does anyone know any interesting stories about the creation of this form or the movie? Just curious.
Good Journey!
