How to Understand Fighting Applications

Master Zhou attributes his fast knowledge to his teachers, but also notes that you can sometimes learn more from peers.  When asked to expand on that Master Zhou explained that sometimes the teachers don't like to share the real kung fu that easily, but when you are with your friends and training partners the information flows freely!  Master Zhou recalled being a student in the University Martial Program and said " The thing you have to understand about taking Martial Arts as a Major back then, first you had to be good at Martial Arts or "they" would not let you in. So everyone, even if they were not on the team, was still a high level martial artist back then.  Some of my classmates came from families with great martial art skills and we tested each other but more importantly we helped each other learn and grow."  To develop skill, you need to work on it with your peers, applications are not set in stone, if it works, then that is application.
