sorry to bother you, but please let me know who your teacher is, as well as his teacher, the only reason is that I study that same style, please get back to me, thank you.
Aside from that, your form stinks! It's jiggly, you're cutting your movements short, and you bend your knees in your kicks. It lacks finess, it lacks practice practice practice.
Anyway, it's good that someone still teaches Splashing Hands, the school I learned it from has discontinued their Splashing Hands group classes.
No one's form is ever perfect, and that's what our goal is in learning martial arts, and if you think that it's perfect, your form will not get better past that point.
What I'm saying here is that he has the same problem I had in splashing hands, opening up and relaxing. But I'm not his teacher, so don't listen to me, listen to him/her.
I do have to say that his basic jab-punch-hammerfist and shuffle stance are probably better than mine, though. But overall, my patterns may be more refined.
Splashing hands is a Chinese art created by the Shaolin temple guards. Since they couldn't actually be taught the Shaolin style, they were reduced to looking over the fence and copying the basic movements. But it's very good, similar to Jeet Kune Do I think, because of its simplicity.
Oregon, my dojo doesn't teach it any more. But my thought of its simplicity is that it is an organized summary of the Shaolin style,and those who practice it understand its tenets very soon into their practice without having to be told them.
Is this William Chow Kempo? Or Ed Parker Kempo?
