Wedges
This past week, we covered a few topics. We started off discussing the 4 virtues, the corner stone of the Jiulong Baguazhang Qi Gong system. This was more of a Q&A to get everyone thinking about them a little more.
This Q&A also went into the 5 circles and different ways to help remember them when you’re first learning them. Although these movements are simplistic in nature, people who are first learning them have challanges remembering them at first.
We then covered some play time working with the wedge vs. various punches. This was a very interesting concept to play with, and discuss. Some of the punches we examined were stiff arm jabs, straigh punches, hooks and upper cuts to the body. By playing with these it also brought up the reminder of other more basic principles that we always want to work with. Experimenting with these is always very interesting and usually brings out a few laughs.
looking forward to next week.
