Basic Extra - Burning Legs

In which way do strong legs relate to a HEALTHY SPINE? What is the precondition to build a basis for healthy movements for your spine? Why is it important to build STRONG LEGS and what does RELAXATION have to do with it?

These questions will be adressed in theory and then experienced in practical work with basically one exercise. After preparing and explaining theoretical ideas we will have an intense sequence repeating the basic stance, the MABU, and highlight different aspects in both, standing as well as moving. The aim is, to prepare properly for the BASIC MECHANICS of the Chen Yu system which later can develop the so called "Beisikou".

You will understand why it is so important to build a sound structure of the legs with feet, Knees and pelvis and also why this is important for a more subtle and energetic work.
