But my knife form is based on my learning from Ho Kam Ming and includes some applications that I learned from him . Some applications I put back into my form for teaching my students. My own early video of the form was filmed in 1978. The one under the Panther label was filmed in 1982. I also continue to teach special applications that you do not see in the videos to individual students when they are or were ready.
Teaching has an individualized element.
I learned the pole first, when I was learning chum kiu and I began the bot jam do when I was learning bue gee . But again, I organized my teaching to adjust to students in a contemporary setting where it helps to have a linear and sequenced curriculum. I learned the pole applications from Ho Kam Ming first and absorbed them thoroughly. Then for teaching purposes I put important motions in a logical fashion into a form .for organized teaching. Forms are textbooks and teachers organize texts for the same subject sometimes differently.
