Notes for Toronto Workshop Jan 17-20, 2013

1. Time never goes back. When we move in positive circle, use 3 different parts to complete the 3-count circle.
2. You can do whatever you want as long as you don't move.  (Joke: You can give your money to anyone as long as he is me.)
3. Power goes to movement. Water goes down. Heat goes up.
4. Find the source of power, and put a wedge in it.
5. Rules of Engagement: Think about how you will put a screw into the wall. Tap a bit to get the tip into the wall. Align the screw driver. Don't move the handle of the screw driver, Don't deviate, and rotate into the screw into the wall.
6. 车轮飞转不离中轴
7. Train the part that normally moves to not move. Train the part that normally doesn't move to move.
8. When pushing hands, focus on the opponent's ming men.
9. Making the opponent fall forward is a mechanical (real) fall, making him fall backward is a mental fall (because he is scared to fall backwards as he has no eyes on the back of the head).
10. Stepping up requires the use of the toes to grab like a claw, and stretch the knee to make the knee not move.
