I was playing around with wrist movements the other day just to see if I understood certain movements and the intent behind certain movements, that is my understanding of intent of course. I took the very first movement of Mlong Kuen and rotated my wrists in a outside hammer fist motion instead of straight forward. "That was interesting" I said. Direction, power, "feel", all changed. I was now climbing (Monkey?) instead of penetrating. It didn't feel wrong but it also didn't feel right, just different. But boy did it highlight the intent of the first movement. Cool.
The movement of my shoulders, my breathing, the extension point of my arms, all slightly different but similar. I really enjoyed the change of perspective. I won't call it an "AHA" moment, more of a small light of understanding being lit waaaaay in the back of my mind. This slight change had ripples all the way to my fingertips.
So I am not saying I am trying to re-write a movement to better suit me, I am saying I am trying my hardest to understand how, well I just realized that I really don't know what I am trying to say so I will leave it at that for now instead of babbling.
