Training Pointers

  • Shoulder often in the way. Kua needs to be big, everything else small / get out of the way.
  • The power move is big on the kua. The rest is setting up.
  • Fold the back - the rear elbow stretch against the foot; add the center rotation to increase the stretch.
  • Once the moves are there, need to add power points. Feet grip into the ground and the core rotates (no hand). / shoot the hand out, no body.
  • Elbow doesn’t straighten. Maintain the rod between the shoulder and hands.
  • Heaviness training - do the form as though in water / molasses. Lots of things blocking you from making the move.
