Laziness and it's benefits

So today I want to talk about being lazy with your kung fu. I am not saying that you shouldn't practice. I am saying that you actually should be lazy while yo9u practice. What I mean by that is don't move any more than you have to while you practice. Taking out any and all excess movement will make you faster and more efficient. If you practice every day but you practice with excessive movements your forms will be sloppy. If you throw a strike that is ineffficient you'll easily become tired, your strikes will be slow,and sloppy. It's not how hard you strike that matters so much as the efficiency in which the strike can land. A really hard strike that is seen a mile away isn't even worth throwing. I have thrown punches where I have done little more than extend my fist with the right timing and people have run their faces into my fist really hard. I wasn't about throwing a hard sloppy punch. It was simply about extending a lazy efficient fist with great timing. I'm by no means saying that I am great at this I am simply looking from my experience to see what has worked for me. There is nothing funnier that having someone else run their face into your fist with no real effort on your part. All there is to doing this type of training is to practice the forms you are already practicing just do them slowly and examine the movements your doing. Look for where you can refine the movements that you are doing. Where are you adding extra tiny little movements to your punches? Kicks?etc. When blocking are you only need to get the fist of your opponent just outside of your body. If your opponent is throwing a punch at your face and you block it so effectively that it almost grazes your cheek then that is a high level of efficiency and will almost make your opponent feel that he is winning even when he hasn't touched you. Practice a ton of Tai Chi push hands training. This type of training is irreplaceable. Your Tai Chi training will give you the sensitivity so that you'll be able to feel when people are coming close to striking you. You'll be able to avoid being hit and stick to your opponent and never be hit even inches away from your opponent.
