Correct Stepping in Cloud Hands

Correct Stepping in Cloud Hands  (A "...look at the logical...")



Click the "Correct Stepping..."link above for video, then "like" it on Master Hwa's Youtube post: " Attention  on the hip,  knee,  and  ankle includes: avoiding overextension of the joints,  such as the  knee projecting beyond the toe  and high kicks, avoiding torque or shear force  in the ankle,  knee,  and hip joints by  following rules such as  "hand follows the foot,  elbow  follows the knee,  and  shoulder  follows the hip"  or  "upper  and  lower  body  following each  other".  Cloud  Hands involves constant  body  turning.  Notice,  in  these  turns, the  movements follow the  rule  of"hand  follows  the  foot, elbow  follows  the  knee".  There  is  no  torque  or  twist within  each  side of  the  body, right  side or  left  side. Each side  of  the  body  is  geared for  up  and  down  energy flow without  any  hindrance.  Each  side  of  the  body  follows the yin-yang rule  that  one  side is  turning  while  the  other side  remains still.  Therefore,  two  sides  of  the  body  fold and  unfold  using  the  spine  as  the  hinge"
