Two videos by Chen Zhonghua. One with Michael Koh on Daqingshan in May 2011. When we push hands or making moves, one of the most common problems is that the whole body (parts other than the part used) are engaged. In this video, Master Chen Zhonghua shows Michael Koh how to push with his hands without engaging his shoulders. As you can see in the video, this is not easy to do.  Presenter: Chen Zhonghua   Length: 2 min.   In: English   Year: 2011  Difficulty:3/5  At:Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The second video is made in Edmonton in Jan. 2012. It is 5:45 long and covers the rotation and movement requirements of the shoulder. How the shoulder can rotate 360 degree. The last topic is on Zhuan Guan.

Do not move the shoulders when pushing with the hands

Review comment: Video mostly on detailed teaching of second half the circle. This “hand out” move will take some time to practice to do it per the requirement. It is important to get it right since it is one of the key connection changes to use the whole body instead of  the shoulder to power the hand.

Some part of the video is out of focus due to using a new camera, so this video is priced at $5 instead of $10
