Class review: 17th Oct. Emperor Takes His Clothes Off: - dont just sit with the knees, feel the lower back expand at if sit back into a chair and rotate the hips; - the aim is to keep the heels planted to the ground, feet shoulder width apart to start easier then build up; - breath out going down, in when coming up....to start with. Scooping The Moon At The Bottom Of The Ocean: - a hip-opener; - shift the weight from 1 leg to another; - horizontal Sweeping Strike; - curve that arm out and around to scoop under, big curves and circles - in YSB, we love things circular. Combo Strike Drilling & Apps - Rising Sweeping Strike-Elbow Snap-Squash Tomatoes: - u-shape strike drilling, - Rising Sweeping Strike, Yang Shou Xiao. - the usage of both arms and hands for the elbow snap, and the coordination of them. Never leave the secondary arm behind - in YSB, once both arms go out, they stay out. - 3rd hit combo: pull at opponents elbow crease, move arm out of the way to hit them in the crotch with the back of the arm/hand. Unless theyve trained Shaolin......to seriously high level, most men have fragile nuts. We are training the Lion System, Qian Trigram, 3 solid lines, represents Heaven, Heaven is expansive and infinite, it is the most dominating animal of the 8 animals, everything is.......BIG & powerful. When we strike, we put all our power into it. Not, meow. A fricking big.......RO..............AR, Im da king of the jungle, this is my space......bigger dude! Remember, we come to class to get receive technical info, practice to get corrections. What we train outside of class, is our own development and gain. YSB doesnt require a gym, nor punching bags. Develop our sinews and tendons, muscles memory and bodily shapes, coordination with left and right hemisphere usage, to name but a few, training of the breath - SLOW, SLOW, FAST. We can not express this more emphatically. Gongfu/kungfu: can be translated as time and development. Wushu is the correct term for martial arts. No one can give you gongfu: only you can gain it. Train well, train smart and use your time well. Happy studies and see you next class.
