Six Sealing Four Closing:

1. Horizontal Egg with the arm movement.
2. Vertical Egg with kua and knee movement.
3. Rotation on the right shoulder-kua axis. Need to stretch the left shoulder/elbow outside during the spin.  Must spin fast. Must spin like a board. Spin fast that you vomit and lose balance. We must get over this threshold.

Dantian exercise:

1. Put the hand on the dantian.
2. Lock the knees and move the dantian.
3. This is what is needed in 2nd move in Golden Warrior Attendant Pound Mortar.

Exercise: Open/split the armpit. The rear portion needs to crash into a wall behind my back, so that it will slide downwards.

The crashing part is what causes a change in direction.  The power comes from this horizontal force changed into a vertical force. The vertical force in turns powers the horizontal force.  From the horizontal perspective, there is no movement for the vertical movement.\

2nd Count of the circle:  The armpit needs to split. The upper arm can't go down with the torso. The hand does not come back.

When I want to not move my hand, it actually comes back. When it does not move, I actually think that it goes out, but the camera shows that it does not move. I actually felt a stretch when I thought the hand went out.

Fajin with Six Sealing Four Closing

• Don't move the hand
• The movements are indirect.
• Move front kua, lock rear kua

• Inside must move more than outside.
• Use bie to create the power

Exercise 1:

Rubber between the hand and the foot. Bend down first. Lock the upper body. Push the kua forward towards the rubber.  The focus of this exercise is to train the kua, the use of power in the kua to extend the rubber. This is converting a horizontal movement to a vertical one. We want to train a great range of kua movement. Gradually, increase the tension of the rubber.

The above exercise trains a vertical movement. This is a precursor to the movement needed to do Six Sealing Four Closing.

Exercise 2:

Push the kua up and out towards the line between the two hands to cause the front hand to go forward.
We can do it in 3 stages:

1. Push the kua up to change the front hand pointing direction from down to horizontal.
2. Push the rear shoulder down at 45 degrees to cause the front hand to go forward horizontally.
3. Open the front armpit to cause the front hand to go forward horizontally even further.

At all times, the front hand is moving forward. In order to prevent the body and the front kua from going backward, we need the front foot to take a shovel step forward.  The stretch should be at back of the front knee by pressing the front kua down to reach the front heal, then we can move the front knee forward. This is a negative circle on the front leg.

Today's exercise is to practice 别开. Get stuck with the opponent at the top, use the kua to rotate the waist. The energy through the middle of the chest must get to the hand.

Set up my hands on something that is totally locked.

标准 is 认可。

Yilu is the first standard when we first learn taiji.

Bie 别

Lock one side and move the other

Exercise: Put my forearm on the opponent's chest. Lock the hand, move the elbow. The elbow needs to move along the line of the upper arm.  This is the tangent to the circle. The forearm has a stretch.

Trained power moves using Yilu from first move.

Block Touch Coat: Right hand block

When the person appears to be big and strong, do a bigger circle.

When the person appears to be small and weak, do a smaller circle, more like a direct hit.

We have to train enough to put ourselves in the position of power.
