In today’s Practical Method practice in Toronto, we focused on Step Back to Double Shake Feet, and broke it down to 9 steps as seen in this video:
Here are some points to remember:
- Right hand does positive circle, while left hand does negative circle as one steps backwards.
- Don’t let the right elbow come out first, and the right hand leads the stretch.
- The left hand stretches to the back, and the left elbow pulls the hand over the left shoulder to bring it to the front.
- Just before the jump, convert the horizontal force to vertical force. Line up the left kua on top of the left heel, like you are sitting on it. The left kua, left knee, and left heel form a triangle. There is an invisible line between the left kua and left heel, and it is the rod/stick.
In today’s Practical Method practice in Toronto, we covered the triangle, double lock and single lock. Ketong Lin wrote an excellent article on this topic: http://dqstaiji.cn/archives/11907. Read more
