Aligning the kua to the heel

From early on, I knew that I needed to align the kua to the heel in certain postures in the yilu, e.g. white crane spreads its wings.  Today, all of a sudden, I tried to align the kua to the heel in every move. It could be the front kua with the front heel, rear kua with the rear heel, front kua with the rear heel, somehow I didn't do rear kua with the front heel, maybe I did but it would immediately become front kua with the rear heel after the switch. This alignment seemed to create a very strong stick, it also allowed the hands to become more solid, and the fajin was not as wobbly, and became more precise. It seemed to allow a lower stance too without straining the knee. I would need to test this more in tomorrow's practice.

Notes:

1. 6.06 - In order to turn left to step up, if someone is preventing you to do that by pressing your chest, you need to stretch to rotate around it.
2. 9.24 - Every move needs to become longer.
3. 22.14 - "Bei Jie Kou" - Lock the left knee. Lock the right wrist, right shoulder, and right kua, and stretch them against the fixed left knee. The demarcation is on the left kua.

Notes for this video:

1. Don't change the pressure on the contact point.
2. Don't change the direction on the contact point.
3. Don't move the contact point(s). Move body parts that are outside of the contact points.
4. Practical Method system doesn't show a lot of applications because in order for the application to work, a lot of concepts need to come into play.
5. A power action needs to be a lever.

This is a very important video.

Notes for this video:

1. 6:16 - Step back and twirl arms - Lock the front, and move the back
2. 7:17 - Brush knee - Left just enough the catch the opponent. Too much inside will get myself into trouble.
3. 8:15 - Straighten and touch the centre
4. 9:23 - High pad on horse - Switch from the left kua being the front to the right kua being the front. (I am seeing "Adding one".)
5. 17:27 - Flash the back - After you pull, put it right back into emptyness.
