Traveling Dragon Spear – Part 21
LEARNING THE SPEAR SET IN JUST TWO DAYS
Course participants performing the spear set after learning it in just one day
Some critics accuse our instructors of becoming instructors after only a few years of learning from Grandmaster Wong. We should take this as a compliment, as it shows the cost-efficiency of our teaching.
The critics measure progress by the length of time one has spent on the art, whereas we measure progress by his attainment. Actually many of our instructors have spent many years with other masters before they learned from Grandmaster Wong, but they found they benefited more in one year in Shaolin Wahnam than many years elsewhere.
Learning the Traveling Dragon Thirteen-Technique Spear is a good example. Most other people would need a few months to learn the set, but the course participants learned it in just two days! Moe importantly, they attain more in two days than many others do in a few months. For example, they know about six harmonies in their performance, are not tired after performing the set, and are able to apply the spear for combat, whereas most others just know how to perform the patterns in a correct sequence of the set.
Nevertheless, learning the set in two days does not mean we are already proficient with the spear. We have to practice consistently to master the necessary skills.
