Pole Shaking

Moves 3 to 5 in 野马分鬃 Yě Mǎ Fēn Zōng#. Front is negative circle, back is positive.

Demo with a pole

  • First, the front hand serves as pivot (doesn’t move), back hand does a positive circle. When it does appear to move, it is the body moving.

Sequence

  • Lock the hand on (like it is on a table and cannot follow your body down), body down.
  • Maintain lock on hand, use the front kua to rotate.
  • Lock the front axis (so it doesn’t follow the hand out), pull the hand out.
  • Throughout: keep the eyes fixed in line with hand.

Corrections

  • Alternating lock front and back.
  • Use a lot of body to pull on the hand.
  • Body like a screw, hand fixed.

Perspective change

  • The distance between shoulder and hand is locked like a stick. When it rotates, the perspective/angle changes.
