Keep Ward Off

Keeping ward off in your upper and lower body allows for the development of a dynamic and lively energy.

Too often I see postures which are collapsed and are unable to receive incoming energy or express returning it.

Usually this type of collapse is mistaken for softness but it is weak and will allow incoming energy to crush you.

In the clip below I demonstrate the first few postures maintaining ward off. John Kells told me to keep the structure and learn to relax and soften within it.
