Skeleton speed and Six Harmonies

This will be about my current understanding of the six harmonies and skeleton speed. The goal of this is to draw conversation between into our own understanding of these two concepts. I’m not going to go too in depth as I want to explain my thoughts in a simple but practical manner.

Skeleton Speed 

To me this represents the reaction of the muscular skeletal and nervous system. This has to happen first before anything else as nothing be faster than our own nervous system. And example of this is when we slide step forward and punch or an application in class. Without even thinking about it our body reacts, engaging the muscles in the most efficient way and the technique begins. 

Six harmonies 

After skeleton speed has started and the technique begins for the first 150-250 milliseconds. Our brain now reacts to the nervous system and has to figure out which limbs need to finish first, middle and last. Along with what needs to accelerate faster than the rest in order to finish at the same time. This can be where our intent is implemented as we can chose how the technique finishes thanks to our six harmonies.

Priorities

 I had a one on one last week and I have been taking the time since than to review and go through each priority of my life and figure out where they all sit if I ranked them from most important to "still important but not the most". I did not want to use the word "least" as that was not my intention.  Health - This includes, sleep, diet, along with both my mental and physical health. The order I listed these topics in is also how I view them to be in order of importance. I cannot have anything else unless my sleep is good and the food I am eating are healthy. This causes everything else on this to benefit.  Kung Fu - I went back and forth with putting this at number 2 or 3. Ultimately it gets put in the number 2 position. I had a mental "click" after my one on one. Kung fu is supposed to help us achieve mastery. So why am I not putting more effort into my kung fu? BECAUSE I DID NOT UNDERSTAND IT UNTIL AFTER MY ONE ON ONE. I do not need to go to every level...

Woah

It’s been eye opening with how many questions I’ve been getting asked ever since being promoted. What is really cool is I get to find out where forgotten the holes are in my kung fu. I was asked by a student to help them with 18 Temple Motions an I had to quickly run through my memory bank of the form and all the feedback I can remember being told. At the level 2 class it’s really fun and I love being there to help and teach the next generation of our school. At open training you are constantly approached with questions and I try to answer them the best way I can but there were times that I couldn’t answer the questions and needed to get help from a higher degree black belt. It’s just been really eye opening with the level of responsibility we instantly take when we step onto the mats.

New Chapter

Tomorrow will be my first day. It’s exciting. And it’s also making me nervous. I just don’t want to mess up the bow at the start of class. I also can’t wait to help bring up next years and the next generation of candidates who are not in the Kao Shi program.  I’m also having. Trouble writing this blog. There is so much I want to stay right now but it will all come out eventually in my posts. But for now all I can is I am excited to help, teach, learn, and share this next chapter.
