Additional corrections

Straight lines

  • Head like a flag pole, hands like the flag. Don’t let the head follow the hands.

  • Straight lines in the body, clearly expressed.

  • Extend in fetch water, how big?

Empty

  • When you stretch, the inside is empty (the power is on the ends). If your body has protrusions it’s not empty.
  • Emptiness is power. Like under a bridge. Load-bearing.

Grip

  • Toes, fingers, stomach muscles and teeth all grip at the same time. So the power goes to your head.
