Three useful solo training methods are easy to practice at home:
- 3 tier wallbag
- Striking post
- Pushing peng (against a wall)
The wallbag ensures that your strikes are powerful and have no adverse feedback into your body.
Use a tree, column or doorframe as a striking post and practice stepping and striking.
With practice, you learn how much power you possess at what range, and begin to find the different ranges instinctively.
Pushing peng is about finding optimal alignment, relaxing and cultivating groundpath.
Virtually any posture from the form can be trained this way.
