PM Friday Night Practice on Dec. 4, 2020

Fetch water with the rubber cord

• Step on one end of the cord to lock it on the round, pull it with the rear hand.
• Train opening of the front kua.
• Find the appropriate strength in the rubber cord to be strong enough that we cannot use the hands/arms to stretch it, but weak enough that we can use the kua to stretch it.

One knee up, one knee down with rubber cord

• Hold the cord with two hands, stretch it to form a straight line
• Find the appropriate strength in the rubber cord to be strong enough that we cannot use the hands/arms to stretch it, but weak enough that we can use the kua to stretch it.
• As we do the knee action, the torso drops straight down causing the shoulder and elbow to go into the line of between the two hands to stretch the cord.
• There is no power at the hands or arms other than holding the rubber cord securely.
• The chest stretches backwards against the outward hand.
• The torso is one big gear and are connected to the arm at the shoulder. The arm gear and the torso are connected at a 45 degree angle. Rotating the torso causes the arm to drill outwards.

Torso goes down only

• Sit on a chair
• Put the front forearm on something, such as the back of another chair.
• Torso going down will not drag the front arm downwards. It must cause the front arm to go outwards.
