these question arose during our group training.
6. Left foot on toe at ankle, right hand up in knife edge
7. Change hands. Cross left foot in front of right and turn clockwise, cutting as you go
8. Deflect/taitui/Hua
9. Deflect, Jie
When I turn in line 7 I think I will turn on the front of my foot. When I land are my feet parallel???
20. Turn into taitui, Lu (claw down), sink into front leg and Pu
question on the pu is the palm facing forward or more the side of the hand? does that apply to all the pu's in the form?
what is the correct translation for pu?

Re: questions on Yangshi Taiji Dao
No, your feet are never both on the ground at the same time during the turn, or as you come out of it. After you step across with your left foot, your rotate on the left heel as you turn around & the left foot ends up with the toe facing the diagonal.ynze wrote:these question arose during our group training.

The pu strikes are done with the edge of the hand, with the fingers pointing upward.ynze wrote:20. Turn into taitui, Lu (claw down), sink into front leg and Pu

BTW, because questions like this are much easier to answer by demonstration that words, I will be offering private lessons over Skype to current students in the near future. I'm in the Beta testing phase at the moment...
