Sifu Terry, This question I am sure has come up more than once, however what does one use as an indicator as to when to progress to the next FP set of exercises? I have done a lot of Chi Kung many years back. Chi Kung 31, Nui Kung, Shen, Stars, Flowers, Ruler, etc. On some days I did 8hrs. My hour in the AM & PM and several hours of teaching it. At least 2 hours a day. That was back in the 80s down here in San Diego. I have been playing with the Standing Basic for a year 2-3 times a week. The past 2 months I have done it daily. Feels good. Wondering what I should use as an indicator to move to the seated? I am considering doing the seated AM and standing PM or the reverse. I know. Student: "Sifu how long will it take to learn this?" Sifu: "10 Years" Student: "Sifu if I work twice as hard long will it take?" Sifu: "20 Years" Student: "Sifu I do not understand if I work twice as hard it takes twice as long!" Sifu: "If you have 1 eye on the goal you have but 1 eye to see with." Thanks Ruthless

Sifu Terry, I am helping my wife learn the Flying Phoenix basic 5 standing. She has the first one well in hand. However she slammed here foot into a door bare foot and really messed the 3 last toes. Standing for any time is painful. I suggested she sit and do the first exercise so at least keep the energy moving that she has developed over the past 4 weeks of doing it. Good idea or not? The next issue is she is not a martial artist and has limited range in her hips at this time. Doing the 2nd one, she can not do a double shoulder wide stance and she can not go very deep. In time that will improve I am sure. I am assuming that working within the limitations will not reduce it's effectiveness. As I understand it it is not the posture being 100% perfect as much as the breathing be 100% correct. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
