While practising and reading the form steps I was wondering about the following:
19. Deflect, suibu into Jie
20. Turn into taitui, Lu (claw down), sink into front leg and Pu
21. Sink back, Gua
there is a comma between "Lu" and "sink down into front leg" which suggests that you first do the lu and then sink in the leg and apply the Pu.
I realized that when I do this it is all one move. That is to say I'm in taitui then when I make de Lu I also start sinking into my right leg When the lu is done the right foot is flat on the floor, then when I realy sink into the foot/leg I apply the Pu so that when I'm completely down the Pu is applied.
So my question is should I really separate the 2 or is it ok the way I do it.
ps I'm starting to understand Linda's situation. When you want to really dig in to something and your teachers a continent away. Hurray for the forum.

Re: questions on Yangshi Taiji Dao 2
The Lu (claw) movement is done while you are transitioning from the previous cut to the pu strike with the left hand, so they are a sort of 1 - 2, but there should not be any pause between these. Think of it as one movement with a double pulse.ynze wrote:...20. Turn into taitui, Lu (claw down), sink into front leg and Pu...
