8 Peices questions

Recommended Posts

I started doing the 8 pieces of brocade, just about every day, maybe a year ago or more. Started with just a few reps, seemed to really benefit the healing of a rotator cuff injury and i have been adding reps. Currently up to 24 for pieces 1 thru 5, 16 for pieces 6 and 7 (saw some sources that recommended fewer reps for those) and 24 reps again for the eighth form.

 

My questions are, whats the maximum reps that are beneficial / recommended? and should i do less for forms 6 and 7? how much less?

 

Thanks :)

Some folks say 36. Others say as long as it feels comfortable.

Are you doing them standing, sitting, ?

Listen to your qi. Or maybe ask grandmaster p. 

Have you checked YMAA out?

8x6 is all you need max. I'm trying to understand how much you are doing but to me, that looks too much!
