Naifuanchin

It is very clear there is a lot going on here, as with everything, the framework needs to be set by exploring up from the feet, the hips, the arms, alignment.

Principles of opening and closing driven through the hips, the principles of fist formation in relation to direction, maybe key to some other rotational aspects of the hand/fist?

The thing is that is seems to flow naturally, the point I am discerning is drawing attention to see what is happening, what isn’t happening and, with principle in mind, to make corrections.

The strategies seem clear insofar as applying the principles and the Kata, as a form, is less restrictive and more instructive.

Where is the rhythm? The timing? The distancing? How does one thing feed and push the other (as though they were separate)?

Continuous, like the tide, opening/closing/opening, move, step, shuffle, step, back, and around.

Move in here with this Koshi, throw, move there with that Koshi, strike, strike/throw, throw/strike, fluid, no separation, no stop then go in clunky fashion.

You give me that and I will take this as well, just following the line.

Step or stomp? Step or kick? Step or sweep? This Koshi and what is presented, maybe a stomp. That Koshi and what is presented, maybe a kick. A sweep? It is all there implied, yet it isn’t.

What a brain teaser!
