In this lesson, we covered Fetch Water: 1) First goal of fetch water is to train the front kua. 2) In order to emphasize on the movement of the kua, we introduced another exercise. 3) Front knee, front kua and rear shoulder form a triangle. 4) The front kua needs to go towards the line between the front knee and rear shoulder. Triangle theory. 5) The front kua should not move. 6) The rear shoulder can only move along the original line between the rear shoulder and the front knee. 7) The kua action must be the primary action, and everything only comes because of it. 8) The shoulder can only go down. 9) The elbow turns towards the dantien. 10) The entire front arm is like a drill bit. 11) Both hands do not move. 12) The palm faces the thigh at the beginning, due to the arm rotation, the palm will face outwards at the end. 13) The front arm and the torse are like two gears biting against each other. The armpit is the gap.
