In our SKD Zoom training of 11 Jul 2020 I touched on how to be able to hit faster, even throwing chain punches, by using just the right amount of movement.
When we apply the principle of 2 4 points from Grandmaster Wei Shuren's Tai Chi we can actually whip off punches one after another very quickly while remaining relaxed and be able to turn the body to optimize momentum.
In SKD we don't just become fajing crazy to the exclusion of everything else.
To us techniques are just as important. To make the techniques work we need to work on moving precisely so that we can be where we want to be when we want to be.
In this lesson from our Zoom session of 11 Jul 2020 I offer a correction to eliminate unnecessary body movement.
The topic of not wasting movement, not moving unnecessarily is one of the most difficult part of learning Grandmaster Wei Shuren's Tai Chi.
In SKD by learning to be precise with the assistance of a simple learning tool such as a tripod we can reap the benefit of what GM Wei's style has to offer without having to go through the frustration that comes with learning his Uber complex 22 form.
Here's another Tai Chi essential that is part of our SKD training that I covered in our Zoom online training on 11 Jul 2020.
I've talked about traceability in the past. In this instance when we do the salute we are not just doing a greeting.
In the salute there are a few things to learn including how to form a basic high horse stance with attendant structural arch.
This arch forms the two leg bows which provide the foundation for the type of power found in Grandmaster Wei Shuren's Tai Chi. In SKD I teach this concept as foundation habit.
With a proper leg structure we can move with proper upper body and lower body coordination, with good structural efficiency and economy of motion while keeping the body primed to generate power when required.
One of the topics from our SKD online lesson on 11 Jul 2020 is on the importance of not being double weighted.
In this clip you can see the principles of Tai Chi at play in SKD to solve the problem of double weightedness.
In this instance, I am explaining the application of the "2 4 points" in the use of footwork to illustrate why it is important to avoid double weightedness as it affects our ability to move.
