Partnered drills

By partnering, the student receives biofeedback and some measure of their own competence.
The themes are always the same:

  1. Peng
  2. Softness
  3. 4 ounces
  4. Stickiness
  5. Sensitivity
  6. Being in the body, not in the mind
  7. Never resisting the incoming force
  8. Listening & feeling, rather than anticipating
The diligent student immediately recognises their own clumsiness, and addresses the key concerns featured on the list.
With sustained, mindful practice the body can be trained and the mind becomes settled and calm.
