Sooyeon
Cloud hands
Waist did not turn
After rub foot
Went to the middle did not have the opening. Too uptight inward.
Collapsed while becoming small. Scrunched? Bud that never blossomed fully into a flower. Did not open up right or did not close right.
Small and large without losing shape. Small triangle and large triangle keep the same shape only size changes.

The same since 2012. Pawel always felt something was wrong. He is Polish growing up in Germany. German but not German. In Poland they can make everything they make but German stuff is 1% better. Just missing that little bit of precision. Very heavy, even if its 130 yrs old it works the same. But in Poland, 30 years later it breaks down.
At a point where hard to advise you. Rotation looks like rotation but not totally a rotation. Knees look like they don’t move but they move a little. Need to be very sharp very precise. Produce more energy from the same body but being more delineated. Power that comes out of efficiency. The fitting needs to be tighter. Where a lot of people fall off the grid, it’s always boring.
Try practicing in a different method. 5 yilus per day. If you do 10, do 9 without thinking. 1 you divide into sections and do very slowly with intent. Hit one that is slightly off and keep practicing that move until you find what is missing. All improvements are direct results of changing. If you can’t find things to change, you’ll stay the same.
Gora
Front trick
Right hand upward, left hand hit toward back wall (sideways).
Before shaking pole 3 times
Rotation was external. Must be slight adjustments to the shoulder and rotate the kua.
Single whip
Foot parallel
Zeela
Similar to Gora but need more fluency.
Ami
Fist under elbow
Don’t move. Just adjust the hand. Adjust foot, not body. Only move one thing at a time. Divide body into 3 parts, hold onto 2 and move 1. Divide into 9: hold 8, move 1. Move becomes very strong. Opposite of what you think. Only one little thing protrudes. Rifle, only the bullet moves. After it fires you can move it.
Reversed coiling
Rear arm should not be crooked. Just be normal.
After stretch, don’t move hand. Only elbow and kua.
Move whole body, don’t lose line. Holding a blade. Moving without moving. Don’t move that dot off the target.
White crane
Back hand replaces front hand position. Hand cannot wave.
Flash the back
Hand stays where it is, elbow, body ducks under and through. The throw is that you hold the opponent, you walk over to the other side of his body and he’s on the ground.
Need to cross the threshold. Body and arm do not separate yin yang.
Point of reference cannot move with movement.
Fix hand, move body. Fix body, only swing hand.
Looks wrong, feels wrong, but it’s the only right move. Everything else is muscle.
