Dear Sifu Robin,
I liked a lot you new website and the applications of Peng.
I am waiting the other 3 (4 in Wahnam
) with anticipation.
A 'simple' movement that can really do miracles is the Hiding Flowers in the Sleeves which can be used for the first two applications (I have tried them) and perhaps for the third one (I haven't tried). Even though I do not know so much about Tai Chi Chuan and I cannot replicate the movements so good I can feel that the feet/waist movements in these applications are similar also for the Hiding Flowers in the Sleeves but not exactly the same.
Some details:
-In the defence against a high strike, for safety reasons because I am just a begginer
, I retreat in false leg stance while I hide the flowers and then I move away any threats (ask the way) with my left hand before I attack with fierce tiger.
-In the release against a double grip my movements are exactly as your peng application Sifu Robin (the rotation of waist can help me to overcome a stronger and not so willingly partner
)
-In ‘wrong’ an elbow joint hiding the flowers I use a sidestep at my left and simultaneously I "grab" the right hand of the attacker behind his back just like the picture of Sigung in Fierce Dragon Across Stream (2) at http://www.shaolin.org/taijiquan/com...equence12.html but with false leg stance and beeing much closer. It's difficult to describe it but my sequence is Hiding flowers (defense) - sidestep to the left - Hiding flowers again (grab arm). My right hand is circulating like a snake to the opponent's arm, I must not lose contact (or I will have a piercing in my heart/throats/eyes) and I have to grab his wrist with my left hand. A similar movement exists in Ninjutsu that I was practicing and I remember the description of circulation the arm like a snake in the branch and I was finding poetic.
Anyway, I hope not to offer confusion. If I find a camera and a willing victim/partner I will capture it
