In Practical Method, Two-dimension means you are locked into a stiff track and are rendered immobile. Three-dimension gives you the full range of motion.
This works both ways. You want to lock your opponent into a two-dimensional frame so that you can manipulate him. At the same time, if a particular part of your body needs to be locked and stable, you can lock it into a two-dimensional frame to your own benefit.

Each move has to have vertical (up and down), Rotational (Left and right) and Horizontal (Inside Outside) elements.
Rotational movements are in fact protective movements. You rotate around your opponent's point of contact so that you can go over him without disturbing him.

We don't allow movements in Practical Method. We only allow rotations and moves that are essentially rotations (partial rotations, etc.), such as stretches.

Every move has two parts to it. One is do get ready and the other is to act. Then we repeat this, like the counting of 1,2, 1, 2, 1, 2.
Students will not be able to distinguish the order of the sequence and do 2, 1, 2, 1.
Because when you don't see the starting point, the rest will not show the order of movements.

Bie 别
Lock one side and move the other
Exercise: Put my forearm on the opponent’s chest. Lock the hand, move the elbow. The elbow needs to move along the line of the upper arm. This is the tangent to the circle. The forearm has a stretch.
Trained power moves using Yilu from first move.
Block Touch Coat: Right hand block
When the person appears to be big and strong, do a bigger circle.
When the person appears to be small and weak, do a smaller circle, more like a direct hit.
We have to train enough to put ourselves in the position of power.
