I spend a lot of time one my own and with my students working on the opening and closing of the torso with various arm movements. Learning to use the upper chest and shoulder blades as a joint to increase loose power is, as you say, something that has to be worked on throughout your life in Chinese martial arts.

Really enjoy the Plumpub Exclusives. And YouKnowWho is super customer service personified.

Great video. Two questions – 1] Are you trying to extend ki through the arms ala aikido unbendable arm or is that irrelevant? 2] Is the instruction on the Zhao Ya Jun 3-dvd set as accessible as what you are doing here?
