Variations of a given technique



Today was an awesome class. We focused on the above pictured movement today. Shifu demonstrated a number of variations of application, and was the third change i've been introduced to in the past year. I love it!!

Shifu made it a point to have us understand that "the body movement stays the same, the only difference may be in how the hands move." Hence, depending on the given application an individual is practicing, when demonstrating the form, an observant eye should catch that several individuals may be doing the same movement slightly differently in the perspective of the hand motions, while the body will still move the same.

Great stuff, truly, and in my opinion critical for all practitioners to recognize if their form is genuinely as accurate as possible.
