Anton Phipps private review 20201027
– learn about creating bone and flesh separation
– learning is the evolution of the being, every improvement takes a very long time
– wuji; life is always there, floating
– we must develop a systematized way of understanding Taijiquan and life
– fighting is one vertical and one horizontal (line?), earth is vertical while heaven is horizontal, gravity pulls along the vertical line/plane
– only move vertically, convert this movement into horizontal action
– all joints are Taiji; learn to rotate the joints to harmonize the vertical with the horizontal
– example is in the movement of ‘snake swallows the elephant’, follows the outside?
– there must be at least 2 dimensions for power conversion to be successful
– think of body as if it were a set of fixed ball bearings, like a tray or frame with each of the 4 corners holding a major ball bearing representing the 2 shoulders and 2 kuas, each bearing must have at least 2 layers of rotation available
– think of the powered triangle with 3 ball bearings in the 3 points of intent, 2 lock, one move
– learn about structure-non structure
– all elongation of distance eventually creates a rotation
– learn to turn your love handles into love muscles
– hips, kua, torso all work on rotation, to create space
…learning to live, a breath at a time…
