Combination clockwork kicking & hitting: advanced.
Key: real-time, no hesitation, closest weapon to closest target.
Stance: Bi jong
Lead stance: shuffle, front, rear, side.
Form is the essence, balanced, smooth, feet stay on the ground, (skating)

Minimal movement to make opponent miss.
Know what position and distance is safe for you.
Individualize and adapt to the size and reach of the opponent.
Evade and counter: after learning the above.
Keys: Better to miss by an inch then to block by a mile.
To block is to get hit.
Don't engage the opponent, disengage him.
(e.g. don't tangle yourself in blocking and trapping movements)
The whole idea is to intercept his physical and emotional intent to hurt you.
Classical versus the New (modern)
Sil lim tao: performed the classical way.
Regarding trapping: cut the movement in half for realism.
Concentrate on speed and economy.
Key: economy of motion, efficiency.
Hook punch: closer to the body then a boxer.

Separate kicking drills
- Two Aspects for improved kicking:
Power: Water in the hose analogy for transfer of force through target.
Speed: Whip analogy for speed of recovery:
(e.g. shoe laces pop, kicking a gnat out of the air)
Combine, blend power with speed drills, make adjustments.
Keys: Delivery system - instant, fast relaxed.
Hand before foot
Non-telegraphic (no pre-steps or stutter steps)(for punching: no flinching)
Complete emphasis on speed and economy of motion.
The less you move the better.
Clean and sharp as a two edged sword, pure Chinese Kung-Fu.
Power comes with time, sometimes years; on the spot power.
Speed comes with accuracy.

Footwork is supposed to be light and easy, not jumping around stiff, but relaxed and smooth without deliberation, angular and instant.
