I really envy those statues on Easter Island--such effortless relaxation. This is bleak–I probably have less than 8,000 hours of standing post meditation since the mid-nineties.

Nickname -- Iron Fist? Anyway, as you know, it takes several years to expertly execute a technique. It takes decades of experience in different situations and against different opponents to hard wire or internalize the move into the nervous system so it becomes utterly instinctive. Thanks for your insightful feedback (as it always is)! M.Tan HI Sifu Lloyd,

I personally don't know the amount of hours and day, but it is all about repetition over time -- a long time. Thanks for sharing your insightful quote. M.Tan Jake,

He had a slightly different, although no less profound, take on this theory. Many times he would say, "When you can execute a technique correctly 1,000 times in a row you then know the technique." The key word being "correctly". Many years ago I had the opportunity to train with Grand Master Pan Qing Fu when he was living with my Sifu, Bob Schneider.
