LESSON002: Ba Chúi 八捶 and Zhàn Zhuang Shì 站樁勢

Ba Chúi 八捶 and Zhàn Zhuang Shì 站樁勢

In this lesson, we are completing the remaining 4 Chúi out of the Ba Chúi (“Eight Fist Strikes”). The first four fist strikes taught in Lesson001 were more straight forward and each one was their own singlular striking moves. The remaining four are a bit more complex as they are their own small combos.

Huang Laoshi also introduces the first set of Zhang Zhuang Shì in this lesson as well, enjoy!
