Turn with the waist. The torso is a cylinder and has three sections: shoulder, waist and kua. Only rotate the waist (the middle section of the cylinder), fix the top and bottom to create the stretch.

Topics:
* The force breaks but not the intent. How to separate the full circle into three sections without breaking the alignment and trajectory.
* The sequence and body combination of the three-count circle.
* In and Out of Dantian. All movements must come out of the Dantian and then when finished, return back to the Dantian. This is a general principle for movements. This way, movements are always centered and will not toss out of center.
* Scissors Power. How scissors cuts, the theory behind it. How it is applied in Practical Method movements and techniques.

– Training method by restriction. In early stage, we separate the arms from the torso and train the arms only. Then we train the kua only by keeping other parts of the body not moving. Once the arms are in position, then it is locked. Only move the kua. Now the shoulder elbow and torso are called not moving. Otherwise the movements of the kua will be cancelled by the movements of other parts. We want the parts we don’t restrict to get all the training.

– Movements need to be deep enough to make sure every body parts are stretched out. To feel the bottom. Fingers touching the wall and body sinks to find the solid. Read more
General corrections
- In general, moves are not deep enough, too loose. Don’t feel the bottom.
- Not stretched out enough. Yin-yang distinction and stability comes from having that bottom.
- Torso must feel the floor.
- Not enough intention of power. e.g. Punch covering hand needs that extra stretch at the end to finish it.
Power moves – six sealing four closing
- Horizontal egg: Power up in with elbow until you hit your ribs. Rotate, don’t lose the line / move your hand. The body/shoulder gets under the hand. Go out straight, along the top of the egg (don’t go out with the hand under the shoulder).
- Vertical egg: More vertical than horizontal. Then two hands push out from the top down.
- Digging analogy: Like scooping up water with a spoon. Put the spoon in water. Turn it to pick up the water. Lift. The rotation is like carving out a scoop of jello.
