I participated in 2 of the online Zoom lessons with Master Zhonghua Chen this week. On Monday we covered the negative circle. The initial procedure starts with “in with elbow”. The front hand stays fixed in space. 3 joints are involved, power coming from the kua, elbow going in and shoulder that needs to adjust. I had decent range/power from the kua, however I had difficulties with my elbow coming in and keeping my hand fixed. I sorted out the lesson a bit with Kelvin Ho. Then I “unexpectedly” came accross this video…it told me what I needed to do. Early this morning I had a discussion with Pavel Codl about this same issue…he told me to do what was in this video without knowing I had reviewed this video. This morning in a the online lesson with Master Chen on the double circle, I again struggled hit fixing the hand and elbow in, which, as you may already know, told me to do what is in this video!!! It is odd when what needs to happen becomes this clear!!!
