Grasp the Sparrow's Tail-4 directions

Postby origami_itto on Tue Dec 20, 2022 7:34 am

So you're probably sick of hearing about the Dong family, but it's what I'm deep diving on now and Alex just keeps putting out new content.
This was from a Yang long form review class he lead over the weekend. It's a great look at the basic shapes of his Grasp Sparrow's Tail.

Grasp the Sparrow's Tail 4 directions is an exercise my father created in the early 90s to give more balance. It's also easier to experiment with other things like speeds, Fajin and follow steps while doing this. Then, what we learn, we apply to the forms.

This was our warm up before our Long Form review on Dec. 18, 2022. Then we went into details on how the energies work in the entire body. Full recording is available for purchase.

Shows up some deficiencies when you view him from the back
Don't put power into the form let it naturally arise from the form

Well I am sure he would appreciate the feedback. You can probably hit him up on facebook.

I’m sure he can find better advice a lot closer to home
