I found that he has good insights:

* Toes locked into knee: the ankle angle should be locked, like the wrist should sit in the tile hand.
* Arch of the foot has basis on two points: just behind the second toe and just in front of the heel.
* Glutes should engage. (At the Oakland seminar Master Chen showed me that I wasn’t engaging my left glute)

These points gave me good perspective to see this lesson https://youtu.be/fc70at-aVYo in new light.

In regards to fascia, I am nearly finished with the 28th day of my fascial reset. The knots in my body are going away. Especially with my shin, with a loser shin muscles, I feel that the connection/stretch to the ground is much better: https://app.humangarage.net/share/wRDSDRnrz8Rg6aqX?utm_source=manual

Yes, I am finished with my fascial release. The result is that I can feel my inside move better. My feet are more agile. Before, it was just one block as the muscles were stuck. I can also turn better. It is like my body go a tuneup.

Fascial is released through having a fixed point while the whole body moves around it. I am experimenting on using this to train. For example, if my waist is turning to the right, as in Fist Draping Body, someone would push my skin against my turn providing a guide for a much more stable turn.
