day 296: backtrack a little

concepts:

• 5 lines

lessons:

• hsing-yi

there was no Saturday class because of the San Diego tournament, so this post is actually for Sunday.

we didn't cover anything new Sunday. we decided to spend it going back through the materials that Cheng-Chieh and i had missed. for today, we spent it working through the details of the 5 lines. i've written about the 5 lines and the 5 element theory behind it before, so i won't repeat it here. the main focus for me today was to refine and polish the movements.

i realized that i hadn't made a video of the 5 lines, and so i did make one today. you can see the 5 lines here:

this actually took a fair amount of time, and we ended up going a little long. but it was useful, since it filled in a major gap in material that we'd missed. at least now we're a little closer to getting caught up to where everyone else is, although not quite. but it'll make next Saturday easier to digest.
