Better Late Than Never?
Obviously, it has taken me a while to follow up on my promise of new posts. We’re getting there …
So far - the JKD has turned into something much more escrima oriented. This is good for me and I’m finding a lot of synergy between this and the Bagua that I was doing last year. I’m honestly quite surprised at how much in common I’m finding between the JKD/Escrima and Bagua. This is seriously good stuff - the flow in the escrima is related to what I found in bagua. In the classes I’m doing there is lots of talk of circles and angles in similar ways to what I learnt in bagua. All that said the ‘body method’ is different from Bagua so that is something different (to be fair we’re not doing a lot of technique - it’s more focussed on flow, distance and angles).
I’m also picking up some xingyi again - plus ça change - I can’t really say a lot there because it’s only just started up. In the past I’ve found xingyi to really connect with. We’ll see though - different teacher, different school so who knows? I guess xingyi + escrima is going to be kind of like bagua? Anyway, if it doesn’t work out then I’ll try something else there is lots of stuff around.
