Sorry I got sidetracked.

Yes. The teachings of Daoism and Zen are simple in words and yet deep in meanings. So is Wushu basic training.

When you attend modern day Daoists and Zen Buddhist seminars, their talk includes all topics in today's life. They called the seminars "the meetings for methods" (Fa Hwei). So they are disseminating methods of study and applications of old teachings in modern day life.

CMA basic trainings are simple but yet require a lot of time to practice to gain skills. The apps and principles behind the basic moves are also deep and wide.

I was told that to learn a thousand moves not so well is a waste of time. To learn a single move well is more important.

I was taught to train well with basics and then and only then grow from there. The basic training is your foundation of Wushu, your roots or Zhuang.

So do not got bored easily nor disregard your basic training as too simple to bother. (I was like this totally in the beginning, now I know better.)

I was going to carry a lot of messages in the original post.

Apology for a distracting story earlier.
