Selected Fajin Movements

4-6 pm (european time) --> In this class we will work on selected fajin movements of the first form/ road (Yilu)

You don´t need to know the first or second form resp. the whole movements of the form to join this course. We will practice the fajin as a relativly easy, isolated movements and focus on the quality of the fajin. Further we will do some research on the underlying principles of good fajin.
One aspect is, that the main power of the movements is not coming from arms and shoulders, but from grounded feet, legs and lower back. Other aspects are the relaxation of the upper body and alignment of the whole body with the Dantian.
