#Preview The main purpose of slow practice
Feel the body's inertia
Create inertia without using a lot of acceleration
Improve body movement coordination
Feed back the results of slow practice to fast movements, significantly improving the quality of movements
Basic methods of slow practice
The slow practice methods of Five Elements Fist are roughly the same, usually using stepping to practice.
The reasons for using stepping are:
Maximum inertia
Easier to feel the transmission of body inertia
Taking Beng Fist as an example, the key points of practice
The movements can be divided into three stages:
Stepping
Follow step
Exert force
Requirements during practice:
Try not to use too fast acceleration during the process
Complete the movements by following the center of gravity's movement
At the moment of landing, simultaneously incorporate the waist and hips
Exerting force is not just straight forward, but also includes the lateral rotation of the body's axis
In the last instant, feel the force reaching the striking point, called **'Feng'**
'Feng' and movement quality
If you can clearly grasp the inertia reaching the striking point, it means the movement quality is high enough
This is a very basic concept in the system, and also a prerequisite for further achieving **'Chu Wei'**
