It is actualy very difficult to master. One would think the slow movements=easy-to-do, but I suggest trying it sometime. The focus must be intense, every movement balanced and exact. Another form I enjoy is Wu-Shu<sp, it's been awhile>, which is a very fluid and flexible martial arts. It also incorporates various weapon-forms into the art (spear and sword, and the nine-section whip, one of my personal favorites...:) :) Chris "Life is the nightmare that leaves its mark upon you in order to prove that it is, in fact, real." -Thomas Ligotti- 'The Sect of the Idiot'
