002 - Triangle Splitting Force

Build your chi by standing in a neutral stance and slowly extending your Taan Sau or Fook Sau. Start with your hand at your sternum and extend the Taan Sau as slowly as possible--a 100 count is a good starting point. During the entire exercise, focus on the following three things:

1. The structure of your Taan Sau and your stance
2. Feeling your body expanding--squeeze your fingers together and feel them streching out toward a distant target. Feel your chi behind your elbow pushing your arm forward.
3. Feel the splitting energy: the two points of your feet bracing your buttocks and channelling energy forward into your hand like a funnel.
