Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Fist Technique, 30th Form - Action 3: Right Hand Gathering and Releasing Hand Technique
Let's continue to explain the practical fist technique of Chen Style Taijiquan, the 30th form, High Probe Horse's 3rd action, the right gathering and releasing hand technique.
One, continuation of the previous action
First, continuing from the previous action of right gathering and left pressing, I'll supplement the following: In the previous action, the positioning of the palms of the right and left hands during the gathering and pressing wasn't emphasized enough. Let me simply explain this to everyone:
The gathering of the right hand, we need to pay attention to the fingers forming a left-slanting-upper-angle, the palm forming a right-slanting-lower-angle; while our left hand's gathering, the palm forms a left-slanting-lower-angle, the middle finger raised forms a right-slanting-upper-angle.
Two, action analysis
1, Eye Law:
First, the eye law remains unchanged.
2, Stance:
The body continues to turn right.
3, Step Law:
The leg wrapping technique remains right clockwise and left counterclockwise, the step pattern is unchanged, the crotch power is on our left side.
4, Technique:
The left hand transforms into a smooth winding technique, moving in an arc inward, about a span of the chest. When returning, the palm faces a left-slanting-upper-angle, the middle finger raised faces a left-slanting-upper-angle.
At the same time, our right hand, moves along a right-slanting-outer arc to the side of the cheekbone. It's a circular shape when it's at the side of the cheekbone. The palm faces a left-slanting-upper-angle, the middle finger raised faces a left-slanting-upper-angle.
Three, action effect
We need to pay attention to its function:
In the previous action, right gathering and left pressing, the opponent uses their left hand to press my right gathering and pressing, while the opponent's right hand retracts;
I follow the opponent's force, smoothly winding the left hand inward, drawing in their left hand, and the right hand moves smoothly winding, at the side of the cheekbone, gathering energy, preparing for the next action.
Okay, that's all for today, thank you everyone!
