Since joining the program last Friday by the grace of Sifu, I looked around a bit through the cirriculum to kind of get the lay-of-the-land so to speak. It's incredible to hear (and read) Sifu explaining with precise terminology concepts that my previous Teacher(s) described rather vaguely if they even hinted at them at all. I went to the very first standing lesson today. In particular, understanding/using the chain beginning with the heels to knees to pelvis etc to lift the crown-point was incredible.
Previous Standing was sitting on the barstoll, releasing roots, middles, tips, Release the tail bone and extend the lower back. Suspend Head from crown, distribute weight evenly on feet. It took many years to feel anyting close to progress.
