Workshop with Dan Docherty 11th December 2011

Caroline and myself took ourselves down to see Master Dan for his first workshop in December.  Fortunately for us, we got to work inside his home whereas Katherine, Matt - and the other guys who chose to do sword applications were given the garden to practice in, with the instructions to 'keep moving to prevent them feeling cold' - and anyway, they couldn't do sword applications indoors!

We had a very specific goal for Sunday; to recap Five Element Arm and some applications.  We also learnt that Cheng Tin-hung's favourite weapon was the Sabre, and that personally he wasn't too keen on form himself.  Dan also talked about timing and distance in respect of applications and remarked that whenever he got into a fight, he always hit them first.  This is very sound advice!!!!  Why worry about reacting to an attack?
