SEMINAR

The Form 

 

• Grounding exercise
• The last movement from the Bil Jee form: how it works and why it works
• The cyclical nature of Wing Chun's three forms 
• Pushing the planet away/decompression and straightening
• Structural power and the postural groove
• The neck connection
• Fishbowl full of agitated, muddy water
• Surprise! (Who is surprised?) Throwing the switch
• Explosive close-range hitting
• Internal attraction/density (magnetism analogy)
• Grand Central Station
• Breathing: how to breathe while doing The Form, and why it helps to pay attention to it
• Weight: what is affected and what is not
• The dynamic equilibrium of relaxation (within The Form) 
• Using The Form to move back to centre (remember my story of getting up on the wrong side of the bed)
• The relativity of yin and yang (remember my illustration of the outdoor grass area and the inside of the hall) and some of its relevance to us
