Learn the movements slowly and carefully attending to correct posture (bone level ). Then add softness, connecting and flowing from movement to movement smoothly and easily (muscle level ). Gradually start to add speed and weight to the strikes being sure not to loose correct posture or relaxation. Finally strikes should explode into a coiled readiness for the next movement with the mind empty, relaxed and receptive (energy and spirit levels ).
