Intensity with Intent

So in I Ho Chuan the other night we had to our demo forms. We did our weapons forms and Sifu mentioned our intent. How we have to focus on our intensity as well as our intent. 

When we did our hand forms I was actively thinking about the intensity with intent. And I found that I felt like the form was a lot more powerful and was more my own when I thought about it. That channeling the intent into the form had a lot more impact that me worrying about the space. ( To be fair, Lus' weapons are slightly more intimidating when your within stabbing range.) 

 

But I also found that there was a freedom to focus. There was less worry and less stress. I trusted me and lu would stay out each others way and perform with intent. And all it took was a reset. What am I doing this form for? What to I intend to achieve by doing this?

Anyway! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
