Three-way split

The main technical point we worked on this weekend in Maple Ridge was the three-way split. The hand can only reach out horizontally. The shoulder can only sink down vertically and the waist can only turn sideways. Each of the above must move in a way that it does a stretch. No part can move out of range. It is difficult to move the shoulder downwards when the hand is going out. The hand usually makes the shoulder go with it (horizontally). The shoulder therefore likes to go forward towards your opponent.
