July 2025 updates

Here is an overview of the new videos that are available for July 2025:

  • Sword form – 05 Turn back and stab to Point to the trousers with the sword: Only one video this month but it shows three different techniques. I’ve found that students struggle with these at first, especially Hanging the golden bell upside down. So I added several repetitions in multiple angles to give lots of detail. I advise spending a fair bit of time training this part. It will make the rest a bit easier.
  • Q&A 54 – How to imitate your teacher: It is often said you should “imitate your teacher” as a beginning student. In this video, I offer some nuances as to what that means.
