Slow or Fast Exercise

Post by emattson »

Obviously, the object in a good karate move is exerting a lot of power to send a devastating punch or kick, but I occasionally see people giving demonstrations of slow Kung-Fu moves during festivals. I notice when practicing, especially kicks, that slow movements increase the difficulty of the exercise, forcing me to concentrate more on balance. It helps me focus on getting the positions correct. What are your thoughts?
