Estevan Mulloni I agree Aric. Usually people don’t want to do the “boring” training. They are just looking for the “Bruce Lee” Pill and want to punch and kick hard and fast from the beginning. Without solid foundations a building is doomed to collapse, and the foundations of our practice are the Stances; that need to be understood and experienced. After that everything will come easy. I’ve been lucky, Brother, and smart enough, to follow your suggestions and advices: as well as Pendekar Steve’s, Sigung Joe’s and my Brothers and Sisters ones!!! Thank you for your help and kind words!!!

Aric Fowler I think you’ll find that no matter how many times you SAY this, no one gets it until they feel how solid you are. Then even though you’ve told them a hundred times, they still think it’s magical somehow. I can attest though, you are the epitome of hard work in this art Estevan. What a pleasure it is to watch someone work so hard and skillfully at what they do.

August 19, 2017 · Fanna, Italy ·“..You will soon discover through practice that stance and posture are even more important than you had first imagined. They are the very foundation of fluency of movement, as well of accurate and effective delivery of blows and kicks. Unless you learn to stand properly, that is, to gain the correct foothold, you cannot hope to use your body as a unit and you will never become very skillful. Study the various stances, and when you practice them, do so in connection with proper breathing. Develop the feeling of rooting your feet or foot to the ground. Accomplish this by holding your strength downward, as though you were thrusting the legs or leg on which you stand into the ground. Also pay close attention to the distribution of body weight in each of these stances and postures. Learn the way of retreating and advancing, rising and sinking, to the required postures. Give special attention to the subtle lateral movements made by stepping one foot in front of or behind the other.”
