Q: I’d like to ask why is there a different alignment of the arms with the Yoke punch as demonstrated in the Tan Tui 12 Road and the 10 Road forms respectfully?
In the 10 Road video Sifu gives specific details about the arm alignment (90° in one instance and 135°? In another instance… depending on which arm is punching) but in the 12 Road presentation the arms are effectively in alignment pointing forward and back.
Thanks so much,
T P
A: Great question! As a matter of fact, it inspired us to videotape our answer for all of you, which you can see below.
