    playing with 5 layers

    playing with the physical, awareness, breathing, qi medirians, and momentum ( the 5 layers) with different movements in my wing chun.

    AS for which three i will have describe them...One is where you sway your hands back and forth. like the are flying in the wind...they come up and then go down behind your back and come back up to your chest level and back again. Then in between you do squats...

    With the absence of the squat I do the hands swaying back an forth moving the chi to my arms and hands and palms and fingers. You can feel your arms and hands an fingers becoming heavy and hard. its a form of chi kung conditioning in my lineage that prepares your arms from bridging...gives you cutting energy and much more...still learning about it myself! time stamp 3:30


    The other two I will have to asked my Sifu actually what they are for...i never really cared i just done them! But the second one is where you draw chi in by raising your hands to the sides and bringing them in the middle of you where you push the chi down to lower dan tian. its the first exercise you do. time stamp 0:01

    time stamp 4:36 we do a swallow step similiar to that with out the twisting or strecthing of the ankle or foot in between. I was taught to step slowly and step light. Practicing that will make your stepping quiet and more agile and controlled.

    time stamp 2:04 Well ours nothing like that...but there is Wing Chun Set we do where the index finger goes to navel and the other goes to back corresponding with the navel. It has another technique before it...its kinda looks like a sanchin technique when i compared it...except for the index finger part...it basically deals with the kidney, lower dan tian and jing or sperm!

    your welcome hendrik..i am interested in the snake hand chi gung you have...in all three forms our opening involves the snake hand technique where it goes side to side and up and down as you detailed...very very very interesting you have chi gung exercises for it!

    We break down each tecnhique and practice it separely from the form...But there is not a snake hand chi gung exercise as your lineage as in it...We have various different chi gung from either Wing chun or tai chi...some of your body movement exercises i find interesting if you dont mind me asking you what is purpose of some them?

    I will detail the time stamp an u can answer two or three of them at your leaisure?

    My lineage comes from Yuen Kay San. By a man named Robert Lee McField. Who learn from Mau Chang or Eddie Mau. my tai chi comes Sam Shuhan Lin.

    Enjoy!
    So Hendrik, I can see your movements but what is your mindset in doing these exercises? How are you developing awareness? Is it internal self awareness or that of your surroundings? How do mediridians and momentum come into play here? Can you provide some more detail or depth?

    Thanks.
