When I was taught Dew Ma in the LKH lineage, the waist/hips are turned 90 degrees from the front (empty) leg.
Just wondering if it is ok to practice it with the waist/hips facing the same direction as the empty leg. Like, practice it that way in a static position.
I ask this, because going from dew man to a sei ping ma-tsop choy motion gets more power if there's more waist twisting...and the only way to do it is to have the center/waist/hips facing the same direction as the empty leg in dew ma.
thanks,
