(gentle music) (scuffling)
(chuckling)
- What what
what what what (laughs)
(upbeat music)
- Tell your wrist to relax,
- Right.
- Yeah relax your wrist, yeah let it go.
There you go, 'cause then what happens is
you're gonna wanna concentrate on an elbow positioning
rather than this right now.
Don't even worry about that
Don't worry about that so the key thing here I'll say
(tapping)
relax and die, stop it, okay good.
Alright there you go, elbow in, say pressure.
- Yup.
- There you go.
All you need to do is keep that elbow in that position.
- Gotcha.
- Yeah okay, this one is the one that goes up.
See watch, pressure, that's it.
Relax, keep this bent a little bit.
Remember this, died, just dead.
There you go.
Get this one down, relax those wrists.
Relax those wrists, yeah...
Yeah they should be dead, they shouldn't be stiff.
Don't ...
When you get used to it, you know,
you're shoulders will should relax as well.
Just keep that one down.
And you shouldn't be going like this.
Should just be super relaxed, there you go.
Now I feel a lot of pressure down so if I
feel that pressure going down, and again,
with an inexperienced person that's gonna give me
that pressure, it just gives me the ability
to just come up, bach, now I just go right on top, see.
There's just, it's easy for me.
But this is the key to it though.
But when I'm training you to get really good at that,
and then it's gonna be much more difficult for me to do it.
So again, elbow in.
There you go.
That's it.
Now, relax relax relax, no tension.
Good good.
Now if I try to hit, just keep your elbow in.
See, but they key is is to come back at my center.
- Okay.
- (abrupt tap) Good.
- Good, now the whole idea behind that was because
there's too much pressure here for me.
I had to release it.
- Okay.
- Okay so now, with that in mind,
if I try to hit you, just keep your elbow in.
Now, it gives me an easier way to control if you give me
too much pressure to the side,
(snapping) see?
(hands slapping) that's where this comes up.
- Right.
- Now if I give you a sense that I'm coming somewhere else.
- (snaps) oh shit.
- That's gonna go there.
- Yup.
- (snaps) you see it?
- Yup. - What happens with that one?
(scuffling)
Good, better.
Good,
bring this one up.
That's it, relax the wrist.
(scuffling)
Good good good.
So, whole idea just relax and then again,
we're gonna go back to the basics if we have to,
you just start off here and then I can go on the inside.
Okay, now raise your elbows up, forward.
Pinky up, that's it.
And down, palm up, forward.
Pinky up, that's it.
Good, alright.
Now my turn, keep your elbows in.
Forward, elbows.
Keep the elbows in.
Elbows in, great, go.
Good, okay, good good.
How's that feel?
- (laughs) it's tough on your shoulders
- it is, it is, if you're not used to it,
it's gonna burn yourself out so that's why sometimes
I'll say, you know what, just let everything go
let everything go, now think of this as
noodles.
Okay?
Noodles, don't even put any tension.
I promise I won't hit you.
- Okay
- Noodles, noodle, noodle, there you go.
That's much better right?
Now all I wanna look at is elbow position.
Elbow in,
elbow up, that's it.
You're much more relaxed here, why?
- 'cause I know I'm not gonna get hit
(laughing)
I think I'm not gonna get hit.
- Yeah.
All I wanna do is make sure that the student
gets better at this.
If you're always trying to attack your students
on every single level just to show people that
you're really good, it's not doing anything for the student.
You wanna bring them up to a level that where
they can train you better, okay?
Good work.
- Thank you Sifu.
- You're welcome, you're welcome.
