I’ve been having difficulties in Da Mu Hsing when I do spins and this causes the following moves to lack connection. I found I would throw off my centre and then I was falling into the next moves.
Is my foot position wrong? Am I spinning too fast? Am I raising my centre? Are my harmonies working together? When I focused on one, others would fall apart.
As I talked with Sifu Brinker, he emphasized that I need to contract and then expand at the end. This is changing my whole intent. As I focus on the contraction/expansion, I no longer worry about my feet, speed of spinning, or my centre yet these are all fixed by changing my focus.
This is my first big “aha” moment where one action groups in a whole bunch of others. Can’t wait till that next one comes.
