Notes
Moves 3 to 5 in 野马分鬃 Yě Mǎ Fēn Zōng. Front is negative circle, back is positive.
Demo with a pole
- First, the front hand serves as pivot (doesn’t move), back hand does a positive circle. When it does appear to move, it is the body moving.
Sequence
- Lock the hand on (like it is on a table and cannot follow your body down), body down.
- Maintain lock on hand, use the front kua to rotate.
- Lock the front axis (so it doesn’t follow the hand out), pull the hand out.
- Throughout: keep the eyes fixed in line with hand.
Corrections
- Alternating lock front and back.
- Use a lot of body to pull on the hand.
- Body like a screw, hand fixed.
Perspective change
- The distance between shoulder and hand is locked like a stick. When it rotates, the perspective/angle changes.
