When we move the arm, there is a dot in the chest that does not move.
Flash the back
- there is an arch in the legs
- When rotate, don’t push up the shoulders
- Left foot and right elbow align
- The front elbow goes into the hand

Flash the back
1. Rotate the shoulder with elbow being the handle, stretch the hand out on the line. [Left/Right]
1a. Rotate the kua instead of the shoulder, this means even more indirect relative to the hand. [Left/Right]
2. Go down from right shoulder to right kua, rotate horizontally from right to left, go up from left kua to left shoulder, rotate horizontally from left to right. [Clockwise/counter-clockwise]
2a. Make it more rounded instead of square
3. Rotate the dantian up and forward, at the highest point, step forward, and follow step with the rear foot. [Left/Right foot forward]
4. 1-2-3 stepping
5. Kick with heel [Left/Right]
6. Squad down without moving the knee forward
7. Rubber band: Straight arm to go over the head, go back and forth
8. Rubber band: Two straight arms forward holding a rubber band, press the chest forward to go to the other side.
9. Rubber band: Step on it with the foot, and pull it up to tighten it with the non-moving hand, push the kua into the rubber band. [Left/Right]
10. Rubber band: Swing the rubber band left and right to make it fly
11. Rubber band: Swing the rubber band backward and forward
12. Quick sand
13. Push with kua to rotate left and right
Today after practicing 5 yilus with John Upshaw, we trained throwing the rubber band around the waist. Then John mentioned that he was looking for the back of the knee going into the line between the kua and the heel. This reminded me to do the same, and use that to drive the waist. Stepping on the right heel was supposed to cause the waist to turn left, and vice versa. I used this method instead of the previous method of throwing the waist around to cause the rubber band to fly. This allowed my vertical central rod to be more stable. I looked like I was just walking when throwing the rubber band around. Later, we tried putting the rubber band on the side to throw it forward. I was able to throw it forward and upward. Then I realized how I could throw my waist by digging downwards and then upwards, and at the end stretch the knee backwards and stepping the heel down to find the stick to support the kua.
