Standing Posture 1

Some 14 years ago I went along for a regular one to one session with John Kells.

He taught me a series of standing exercises to work on energy and willpower/

Here's the first one. To be held for 3 minutes each side. 70% weight on the backleg.

John Kells - Heartwork, What I am Teaching Now Part 3


The steps of discharge 1


" To adhere: Put out your hand and let it adhere to your opponent's hand lightly. Your body and leg should go forward with your hand simultaneously. If you have put out your hand without following your forward stride, you have no way to hit your opponent's hand and may possibly be pulled by him. As the Proverb says: " When ones foot cannot keep in step with his body he will find himself in trouble."


Dr Chi Chiang Tao

Quoted from West & East Monthly,1965.
