Sharon Friedman – Vigilance and Tranquility

A not so nice way to learn to move efficiently is the cross hands or scissor hands. Try this in twos or more. One person evades while staying close as possible (obviously being at your friends back is close but somewhat more advantagous) the other starts using straight hands hits from above and from the side (cross) with intent to hit. It can also come from below or from side to side as long as they remain on these main axis. You will get bonked as you do this and this time you are not to deflect with your hands at all. In fact keep them at your sides or at the lower back. This is somewhat frustrating but beneficial. Keep your form and relaxation in the shoulders and hips. Your head held so you can see and hear and your breath in tune with what is going on. From time to time the windmill guy can use another hit to keep from stagnating such as a leg hit, a head but and so on. 10 minutes a day for 95 years will bring you to old age as I am told…
