Roy Croucher private lesson review 20201021
-worked corrections on the negative circle
– fundamental to all PM; torso must be placed in position by legs shifting position, legs first, then torso follows, re-set torso structure and head position relative to intention, then manipulate parts to position arms, elbows, etc.
– learn to adjust kua and waist only, learn to work within the Taiji dimension
– learn the body’s division of labour, look up this topic on the PM website under Zhonghua Chen’s writings
– ‘it’ can we get ‘it’ when we can’t move what is outside body core, learn limits of normal human 2-dimensional perception/movement chains
– learn to think in terms of degrees of movement, 360 degrees for awareness, must understand major directions and how to subdivide into 45-degree angles, in relation to the opponent and in relation to each individual body part compared to the entire body
– Zhonghua Chen worked with Roy around the development of intention as a key skill in PM
– Peng is not only the correct angle in any situation it is also the correct amount of ‘fullness’ in each body part proportionally and directionally adjusted to current circumstances
– learn ‘Zhuan Guan’ or turning over the joint, learn to add a ‘little wiggle’ to turn over
– once contact/bite is made on opponent learn how to adjust various body parts with no ‘telegraphing’ of intent, move inside out to cover intent
– learning to ‘hinge’ movements from the kua is very important
– kua cradles the dantien, like a ball in a socket
– on all downward moves make sure you stretch backwards, reach back with rear foot to extend the overall body line, always get bigger
– when performing ‘brush knee’, turn body at the shoulder and kua pillar/rod

…learning to live a breath at a time…
