I was wearing only the right side of my earphones and was wondering why there aren't any sounds. Then I've read your comment and now I'm laughing stupidly, Thank you dear commenter.
@antonio bradiano I believe you are right, but I have to share this experience. I did Tai Chi for maybe six weeks (got another job in another city) back in 1985. After my first lesson (we did this form/kata?) which went for about a minute or so. We drilled it a few times. A week later, Instructor said, "who can remember the form?" (I forgot its name). I said, yes, I can. I did the whole form and he said: "I never seen anyone who remembers the whole form after one practice (I did it a few times at home of course). Then, in 1988-89, I was helping a friend outside a pub in Qld; he was being assailed by some men. We were in our early twenties (age). One man came full lunge toward me, fast pace, and I immediately assumed one of the poses in the form I had learned in 1985. The man went over my head (I was crouched down low) as I wheeled my arms in the opposite direction. He was on the ground in pain and I didn't touch him. I never ever went back to that Tai Chi, because I tried other martial arts forms, but I grew tired within three months of each one - like I had nothing else to learn. Arrogant sounding that last bit, but I'm being honest. Now that I think of it, I completed a gymnastic checklist card in primary school. What was unusual is that I cut my leg open early in the year and I had to watch all my class mates do gym every week, but I could not participate because I had many stitches in my leg from an accident and the leg needed most of the year to heal. On the last week of school, I asked to do the card and the teacher was hesitant, because I never practiced any of the skills. They included head stand, hand stand forward roll backward roll, cartwheel and springboard and box skills (jumping and vaulting). The teacher said ok, have a go. I had watched the movements so closely that I could imagine myself doing it all over a period of at least none months. So I did the card and completed everything without fault or slip up, having never practiced any of those moves/skills. I guess we all learn at different pace, but there is much to say about studying and observing. I now realise I should have been a choreographer, because when I see human movement, I remember it all. Even this Wushu, I have seen men use these forms. When I see people running, I remember years later if someone has the same style, or bio-mechanics. I remember when fight scenes are copied and regurgited in other films. I find it all fascinating even as I approach sixty years of age. Thanks for reading and thanks for the Tai Chi Comment - you brought back memories.

Fk so in my school, we have to choose a martial art that we wanna do (it's mandatory, we have to choose one even if we don't want to). There r 3 options, wushu is one of em, thought it woulda been easy, i was SO WRONG 😭. It's a beautiful martial art indeed, but i think ma bones would give out in the middle of the first stretch, i can't even lift my legs that high and you're telling me to place my head on my foot? 💀
