    Drawing diagrams was the way of taking notes for me in the 70's and early 80'.

    Nowadays, people may use the digi cam and camcorder.

    I was going to recommend ex-lax but now I realize I misunderstood the topic.

    The crap that many schools do is not the crap I was taught or train in or teach.

    Dam nit... it made sense when it was running through my head.

    Okay, this is really sad; I was in a tournament going back about 20 something years ago, in NYC. There was this guy, wearing a camo Karate Gi, or Ninja outfit, not sure which, doing a form with a folding wooden chair. It was ridiculous. He would place it on the floor, kick over it, sit down and punch in two directions, fold it, unfold it, punch through the space in the back, this would go on for awhile. I went to the bathroom, and when I came back, he was still performing the set. I mean, it was that long! It's bad enough that some charletan would teach his camo-clad students a freakin chair form, but on top of it, he made it so long and...complex! As if it were some sort of real technique!
    Ok, it gets better...or worse, depending on how you look at it. There was (I'm not sure if it was the same tournament, or it was the same guy at a different tournament-it was so long ago) this guy who did a "form" with a Chinese Straw hat-he would have it on his head, grab it and flip it down in front of him, flip it back up and put it on his head, then punch. Then he would turn, flip it down, flip it back up and then do some other move. This went on forever. He had to be from the same school. The judges had that blank stare on their faces that one gets when they are in utter disbelief.
    These must be the secret scrolls of the deadly chair form handed down from one generation of idiots to another. Evidently the original keepers of the scroll perished, probably earning a Darwin Award in the process , but the technique lives on!

    Wouldn't that make the stool too soft for fighting? Or is the goal to produce a flexible weapon?

    Well said. Mud slinging is a viable weapon to the eyes.

    You may use a short staff and practice the same routine.

    Naah, it is a made up set for entertainment.

    when they went to the gymnasium/school to find the monk it seemed a bit west side storyish in terms of the choreography before the individual fight scene.
