You do not only get to learn a fundamental concept, but also get to learn a drill and application from this video. You will also incidentally learn basic action elements that often go together in Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method.
The elementary pattern of “bie” is explained and demonstrated.
Details are then provided in easy-to-understand steps about:
i. Rotation arising from a front-back and left-right bie action(s), when stuck
ii. The component of sinking to hip and then to foot, to avoid being stuck
iii. The timing on touch for the bie set-up, to be effective
iv. Maintenance of body control through pressing down, without losing balance
It is a very good mini-lesson video.
