My teacher had been telling me for years to try rolling for thirty minutes or more...and I had I never tried it.
I think the most I had done was twenty minutes.
Last week at the Centre de recherche Gongfu de Montréal / Montreal Gongfu Research Center Research Center we tried out a new event : a clinic of only rolling, or gǔn fǎ (滚法). And I finally tried rolling for an hour straight!
I had to admit that after doing a longer rolling session, I really sensed something shift. I was able to roll more deeply, more quickly, and my whole body was integrated in the movement. I really feel that I've left the plateau I have occupied in my rolling for the last few years.
Sometimes you should listen to your teachers 😅
P.S. We're doing another rolling clinic Monday July 13 at 17h30-19h30. Come to the Centre and see what we can do with this technique!!
