折叠 Zhé Dié: To Fold and Open

Twisting towel

• Practice semi-automatic rhythm: fire 3 at once.
• Don’t move the hands/arms, pump the kua.

Six sealing four closing

• Hands on a line, body folds over to drive hands back and forth on the line.

Fetching water

• Go to the full stretch, fold the body over.
• The action it is named after: Pull the water out from a well (standing on the edge of the well, keeping the body upright).
• Looks like starting a lawn mower - a change of the name without changing the meaning. Have to hold the motor still and pull the cord.
• Make sure the kua fully opens. Has to go to the other side. It goes up 45 degrees.

折叠 zhé dié

• To fold and open - another way to look at rotations in the body. We worked on this using the kua.

Thigh rotation in the third part in the positive circle (hand out)

• The rear kua must turn over but move backward.
• Fighting double heavy: rotate inward but outward move.

Chinese class

• Wild horse parts its mane was covered.
• Same thing: stretch the two ends but need to find the middle to do the work.
• Body movement in this move is horizontal, but the action is vertical. Very difficult.
