Sometimes there are movements that just escape me as to why they are in the form. The above shown was one of those. Because I was not clear what I was trying to do, it was clear to Shifu, that I had no idea why I was doing that motion.
He provided me with a couple examples of how to use that motion in combat. Some key points were to bring elbows forward and not too spread out and to turn my body sufficiently forward to be able to direct my intention appropriately.
Shifu showed me how that motion could be used against a hand or leg attack and how it would lead into the next motion.
Great stuff!
