Zombie Eyes

[YouKnowWho]

I have just seen some clips that when they do their forms, their eyes and major hand are not coordinated. For example, your eyes always look at one point (north) when you move your major hand:

- to your right (east).
- to your left (west).
- behind (south).
- upward (north).
- downward (north).
- in circle (north).
- ...

All TCMA try to coordinate hands, eyes, Shenfa (body movement), and footwork. In combat, you want to make sure that your hand can hit/deflect right on target.

Why people have zombie eyes when they train? What's your opinion on this?

They either were not taught correctly, or do not think it is important enough to make it a training priority. I learned almost from day one, the eyes watch the hands. Later where the attention is drawn, the eyes and body arrive very quickly.

I've found that it's common for people to look at the floor or gaze off in the distance when they're first learning a set and trying to remember the next move. If it doesn't get corrected, it becomes a habit.

A very bad habit. How can you have intent if you're not even looking at what you're doing?

A beginner problem. There are still thinking about the movement. Unless they were not taught correctly.

Normally "Zombie Eyes" is a sign they are looking inward to their mind to figure out the move. Just means they don't know the form or movement well enough.

zombie eye means they only learned the form as a dance routine, and also have problem remembering it.
