5 Variations




Glad I was in class this past Sunday, Shifu once again, as always provided us with a ton of detail. In the move above, Shifu went over 5 variations or possibilities we could do in the mechanics of how we practice this particular segment. He suggested we could do one variation with each particular segment in the form, but emphasized that in demonstration or competition, obviously we only choose one methodology of that segment.

In case this motion is not clear, it is the motion that leads into the single whip.
Hope that helps!

Each variation shows us different possibilities in application. For the past year, I had only worked on two of the variations, feeling only comfortable with a couple of the meanings of that motion. Now I have more to work on.
