I’m a newcomer around here too, I usually lurk on Reddit, As I like to learn and keep in touch with neutral news and facts. Recently the quarantine has me back to the basics; Shadow boxing, calisthenics and forms in a city apartment. Saw this collection of Kungfu knowledge around the world and can’t help but chime in when my favorites come up. Also to improve my own and share the love.

One of my favorites after the long spear, It’s definitely a important part of “Strength training” and it’ll improve your hand forms, and open hand as well.
