Iowa Camp 2024

Exercise:

Lock the bottom, move only the top.

Lock the upper arm, move only the forearm.

Lock the forearm, move only the finger.

Move the front finger, at the same time move the rear heel.

Matching exercise: fist to the stomach 3 times, match with the same pressure, direction.

Six sealing four closing arm bar, match with finger out, hollow arm. This is to go over.

To go over, the tension needs to go over, e.g. resist with the elbow, then only at the finger, nothing at the elbow.

Hollow - the outside has not be very strong, then the inside is hollow. It is all relative.

Buckle the elbow, and then buckle the kua.

Pressurized release of the kua when someone pushes that kua straight down.

Joint needs to do push against each other to cause the rotation. Fluid will be reproduced to rejuvenate the joint.

松打紧拿 - When the opponent is loose, hit. When the opponent is tight, rotate.

When you hold a screwdriver, you know you can’t get through, you give up. When you go against a wood board, you know you can get through, you will work on it.

Push Hands:

Look for the opponent’s line, follow it, extend it, don’t disrupt it, get it close to the opponent, go to the other side, add something towards the ground without disrupting the original line.

Break the unbeatable arm

Fold at the elbow crease

If the person is too long, we have stretch to open it before breaking at the elbow.

Pull the opponent’s chest in, turn the foot, stick the kua in, don’t protrude the butt, wiggle and squad down to get the opponent down.

Aim the finger to opponent’s rear foot, only do a twist at the armpit to cause a rotate towards the opponent.

Lock the top, rotate. My problem is the protruding buttock. When I rotate, I switch the weight to the other leg.

The joints are the engines, armpits, kuas, knees.

闭穴

Taoism: you follow the way. Follow and follow, eventually, you merge with the way.

The teacher leads you to go through a door, if you go through the door, and look back and tell people to go through. The others said there was no door, to go through, you have to believe.

Hand is in the air, shoulder is more solid relatively.

Turn shoulder into the air, turn hand into solid.

Only work on one, once it is achieved, you have two.

Maintain the distance between the front finger and a dot on the back. Walk forward like the wall behind my back pushing forward.

In with elbow hits a dot on the side of the stomach, on contact, rotate, it bounces the forearm back to the opponent.

Find the centre (belt sword story)

If I can find the centre, no one can find my centre.

Do it before the opponent starts the move, and do it before it ends and before it starts again.

Push Hands Technique

1) Put my right foot in between the opponent’s feet

2) My head to right foot as an axis at 45 degrees to the ground

3) Pull opponent towards my chest (not stick my chest to his)

4) Spin my left foot/leg around the opponent’s back, this causes as spin with the opponent, so he falls to the ground

2nd version

1) Put my right foot in between the opponent’s feet

2) Put my left foot to other side of my right foot

3) Turn and put the opponent down on the ground

Sandbag

The sand is at the bottom, switch the bag upside down without changing the position relative to the environment.

Slam the sand to the new bottom, which was the old top.

Will the non-real stuff to be real, so I can give up what the opponent cares about.

We really press down the hand and turn the elbow. We tend to press down on the elbow to fight directly. This is the idea of sending the energy there to the hand.

Six sealing four closing

Lift the left, we should do it such that we fall down until our right side height does not change.

My shoulder is too tight when the elbow goes up,

The shoulder should go down while the elbow comes up.

Two types of opening:

Leather

Joint needs to open under pressure
