Hey family, how are you? It’s been another fast paced week here at Enter Shaolin filled with all kinds of fun tech issues and obstacles to keep us on our toes! I am seriously grateful for eating clean, intermittent fasting, exercising and my time with my Heavenly Father, because with out any of those things I would seriously have not survived the past several weeks or even months! LOL
We got a new webcam the next level up from our previous one. Super excited to be able to provide a cleaner podcast… Now if we could just figure out why our webinars are recording in 380p instead of HD. 😉
We are working with Zoom to provide information and data, all our equipment and internet is up to speed with where it should be, so if you are the praying type, say a prayer for us please and thank you! If we don’t get a resolve by next week we will be testing out some other webinar platforms. We really like Zoom and it’s overall function, however if we can’t get this solved it’s a deal breaker for sure.
Despite the hectic week, we did make some head way on replacing some plugins that help with the overall function of the site but were bogging things down and we got a podcast ready for you too! It’s about time right?!?! 🙂
Sifu Larry and I decided to talk about our experiences going to seminars and how they are beneficial to you as well as the importance

June 9, 2017 15:00 on kicks, to give an idea of how much practice and fitness is required, using reverse roundhouse or reverse roundhouse jump kick, some of my peers used to put in a minimum of 3,000 to 6,000 kicks a day with execution time to complete a circle averaging 0.5 to 0.7 seconds. They were about 16 to 25 years of age. Once that is achieved, speed is no longer the issue, assuming accuracy is there, timing beats speed. During competition, they can train to do in excess of 10,000 kicks of that one type in a day. Most today do not have the time to train that given busy work schedules to achieve that kind of proficiency.
For the same reason very few complete iron fist, iron palm training which is the same thing, that to train someone for 15 to 20 years safely when training a “peasant” on how to use a rifle with basic proficiency in a year on moving targets is more time and money effective for governments.
As Sifu said, in terms of self defence, effective kicks or hand techniques is better than a move you cannot do, although it is always good to know what it is to be able to deal with it. It comes down to practicality and effective use of time with limited resources even with government agencies.
The exception might be South Korea where the culture in a significant proportion of society used to be training a form of taekwondo for conscription which continues for many into their older years which I knew of a decade back. However in this day and age, I am not sure if it still applies across the board with privileged manufactured K-pop bands having exceptions to the standards of conscription.
Absolutely brother! 🙂
Thanks for taking the time to comment. Much appreciated !
Most welcome brother!
