Binh Dinh

One hour Kung Fu.

This is the first time I've finished a form (60 techniques in this one.. well.. 62 or something) since training again with my father. I have also never sweat so much in my life. This form is more difficult than the ones I had learned in my past years, as it involves a few leg sweeps that my hips are not flexible enough to perform properly and at the end just now.. it reminds me a lot of Muay Thai all of a sudden. The last little portion of the form is all close-quarters knees and elbows and this is a HUGE contrast to all the quick forward and backward low jump strikes in the beginning that close and clear distance in a rush. I didn't even know this aspect of Binh Dinh.
