Oh btw the xingyi has some added goodies that I didn't put in the last time, such as the monkey turn on pi, and the extra step in pao.

Wheres the monkey turn? i saw it two times and im missing it. Also, that extra step in pao looks like it kind of disconnects the closing from the opening, and viceversa.

Thanks for putting stuff up mang. I got a whole bunch of questions. Maybe ill pm later.

your last post actually looked better dude....
your shoulders look tense. esp for pi quan.
looks like you also need to work on dan tian strength with the way your torso wobbles forward and back.

I agree with Fong, your shoulders still look stiff. But overall, I think it's better than the first. Someone in class made a remark about your footwork being better than in the first one. The person said that in your previous video, you kinda fell on your leading foot instead of stepping forward. Good job Mix, keep it up!

Thanks guys.
I personally think its better than the last one because I put more small movements and details.
Jose: the monkey turn is each time I turn on pi. :)

just to expand on what fong and juan said, it looks like you're holding your shoulders and traps up subconsciously. every time you finish a movement think to yourself to drop your shoulders. if you do this enough eventually it will become natural and you wont even have to think about keeping them from raising.


looking good still!

Oh. ;D

That looked like a textbook piquan turn to me. But, we dont have the same texts i guess. I thought the monkey turn would be the one Xue Dian is doing on the top banner of the forum, but with the striking hand near the face.

Looks like you fixed the elbow thing on your right pao. Nice.

Ok, we do two turns for pi. One is the dragon (I think) the other one is called monkey.

haha

Yeah, he taught me this step. Its the step from Xue's tiger form. Pao is somehow related to tiger, but I haven't learned tiger yet so I can't really comment past that. :)

Not to beat a comment to death, but you need to let your shoulders hang down and rotate towards the spine (by relaxing the traps and slightly tensing the rhomboids and latisimuss dorsi) . Also, you seem to be using your forward foot to stop your forward inertia - and the rebound settles in you low back. Try to step without planting like that on the straightened front leg - and keep the front leg slightly bent - and see how it feels. Otherwise much improved.

I find that learning to stand in the embrace posture helps to work on programming the shoulders to relax downward.

We have two turns for Pi, too. But calling the turn 'monkey' is new to me. Nice.
