A day late beginning my journal, fortunately I began the challenge on the alloted day. I've slipped a few times with my practice, and had some time off in recent weeks due to life circumstance, so this comes at a perfect time to really kick start my practice and realign with the state. 11/11/24 Did I train today? 11/11/24 - 7am State training (which includes Siu Nim Tao training.) Upper Body Gym Session. 8pm State Training (7am Sydney time (includes Siu Nim Tao training.)) 8:30pm Form Training (Single Leg Siu Nim Tao, Chum Kiu pivoting, Biu Gee elbows.) 1am (Midday Sydney Time) HQ State Energy Work. 2am HQ all levels training. When will I train next? Tomorrow. What Observations/Questions/Insights do I have from todays training? I know I have had some time away, yet the connection to the components of the state is still there, fortunate enough to have the full 4 days off work this week to propel me in to this season of my kung fu training and I'm truly excited to see where it leads for everyone taking part. Thanks for reading. Adam.

Sounding out all the One Tao Family and Kung Fu Crew!! These few weeks have been a totem of change in my life, through a quick and constant acceleration of opportunity. I started teaching at a new yoga studio at the end of last month. These classes are building up in tandem with T’ai Chi & Wing Chun teaching and instruction more and more each day. As such, I have simply not recently had the time and energy to interact with these beloved online communities, as much as I am used to. Now, I am beginning to readjust, and return to a full paced existence, and feel friggin’ honored to be immersed deeply within so many exciting endeavors. I feel even more blessed to be surrounded by an increasingly large clan and community of talented and focused individuals who test my abilities, and support my drive in every aspect of my life. Much love, respect, and appreciation to those of you who show up for yourselves, and each other, everyday 🙌🏽🙏🏽🫶🏽 You are all the inspiration within inspiration that shines from deep within us all💫 It is within this vestige of commitment and camaraderie that I dedicate this 90 day challenge not only to constant peaceful power…but also the opportunity of acceptance; and the acceptance of opportunity. I feel I’m closely on the precipice of surfing in symbiosis with the true balance of “letting go,” and once again allowing my full power of life’s vitality back within.🔥 “Don't let life pass you by as you shrink back. Don't let passivity create a mummy-like, survival-type existence for you. Find people who want to help you enter the world, encourage you to take action, and support your attempts to regain the opportunity in your life and relationships.“ ~ Henry Cloud

Okay first Bruce practiced wing chun And saw some photo like Bruce is meditating probably the state training So far I learnt that state is that sinking in the space in our own body energy like.. relaxed muscle in that we are just moving the energy rather our muscle strength... Today I re watched enter the dragon...in that every fight his muscles or his body doesn't look like relaxed or like other words to say his whole body were like solid as rock Like like pressuring every part of his body Is that also a part of state, sinking, alignment,centring?

Are there any people from the UK and which City/Town? I am from Birmingham.

In the words of Ip Man to my master: “Keep Tai Gong—lift from the base, keep your back straight, use no force, focus everything forward, and you will discover mind force.” My master believed this deeply and practiced day and night. That’s the formula for mind force: Tai Gong, a straight back, no force, focused intention—and, above all, consistent training. Here’s the truth: consistent daily practice is the key that many ignore. Applying this formula daily allows you to become it—to open your center and align yourself with higher frequencies of power. It’s about cultivating forceless power, tapping into that internal source instead of relying solely on muscular effort. This is a hidden secret in Wing Chun, a hidden strength accessible only through dedication. Even if it’s just once every morning, that daily effort compounds. You retrain the mind, body, etheric, and energetic layers to align with mind power and higher energy. Think about it: anyone who’s mastered any skill has done so through regular, daily practice. Over three months, a year, five years, or more, that consistency unlocks real power and skill. If you’re committed to building internal power, choose one form, one meditation, or one Kung Fu practice—and do it every day. Over time, you will become that skill. Drop any questions in the comments, and I’ll see you in the next session. Peace.
