this Sunday ran a little long, with Sifu saying we needed to finish the mantis lien jian form.

i was surprised by this. Jo-san had mentioned that we'd probably need 2 more weeks to finish, and based on what we'd done so far i agreed with him. but Sifu said we were close enough that we could make a push to get through the remainder of the form, especially since some parts of it repeated movements.

true to his word, we finished the form today. i recorded a video of the completed form, with Phunsak going through it VERY slowly to help make the movements more clear. you can check it out:
