Today Shifu told us there are 7 possibilities for this segment of Single Whip. LOL foolish me, I thought and had written earlier that there were 5. Well, that is the thing, as we go to class and we train and we understand more we realize that we become more ready to understand more. That is why we need to practice over and over and over again. It's not just about looking good, or trying to move beautifully, but it is about learning how to CONTROL how our bodies will work in a variety of situations to apply given techniques.
In this position, I know I need to practice spiralling my hips both up and down depending upon intention, and that there are a multitude of techniques to apply on EITHER side, PLUS, learning to have the body motion to support and make hand strikes and techniques more powerful in application. Very deep, very subtle, over time, we learn more and more about this system, Chen Tai Chi is really incredible and so high level.
