Morning Training with Kelvin: Turning Flowers at the Bottom of the Sea & Posture of Lifting and Blocking i
Turning Flowers at the Bottom of the Sea
At first, I was executing the move with only a central vertical line, which felt weak. When I rotated, I would lose the line, and it would collapse into the rotation.
Kelvin explained that instead of maintaining just a central vertical line, I needed to create an upward stretch. By combining this upward stretch with the rotation, a spiral emerges.
Throughout the day, I practiced this by planting my foot firmly into the ground and extending the stretch all the way upward through my body, reaching to the top of my head.
Key Insight: Separation comes from the contrast between the vertical stretch and the rotation.
Posture of Lifting and Blocking
Kelvin emphasized two main components:
1. Locking the Structure
Place the elbows as if resting on a horizontal table—do not move the elbows while executing the move.
Visualize a nonmoving cross:
A vertical pole running along the back.
A horizontal beam across the shoulders and elbows.
This cross must remain stable, with consistent energy maintaining the structure.
2. Stretching from Elbow to Fist
On both the left and right sides, create a continuous stretch outward from elbow to fist.
The fists are always stretching away from the elbows.
Key Insight: Separation comes from the contrast between the stable, locked structure and the dynamic stretch and rotation from elbow to fist.
Overall Reflection
Both movements demonstrate the principle of separation:
Turning Flowers at the Bottom of the Sea: Vertical stretch vs. rotation.
Lifting and Blocking: Locked structure vs. stretching rotation from elbow to fist.
