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.
