curling energy

After 4th lesson in 6 Harmony 8 methods.
The sifu taught the importance of curling energy.
It is not as complicated or mystical as others try to describe.

It is not a big movement as books described.
It is a small movement. 1/8 of a circle, twisting motion.

reminded me
I have ignored the twisting footwork learned from Wing Chun.
The hand curling drills from Chum Kil

Improvements:
Learned by feel, the energy needs to be stored first in the calves muscles, legs, then the spine,

Will try to hold breath and keep the energy there,
like stretching the back, and holding it down, but keep a breath
for 10 counts.
