Help Learning Siu Nim Tau

[Emptiness]

I have been reading/studding (second time through) the “book” and I have gotten to chapter 6, pg 91 were it starts with figure 6.5, First section of Siu Nim Tau Form. I would like to now, if these are the sequences that I should start to practice? If so, how many sets should I do at a time and can you please give any advise that would help me get started?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks
Eric

PS. I now you can't learn from a book but.......... :rolleyes: At lest I can do something tell I can get some help in the flesh.:)

I must applaud your effort to learn HFY from a book butam not sure how you will be able to without at least seeing the form demonstrated once.

In order to get the most out of your practise I would say to make sure that you understand the formula as much as possible as it provides the "reference points in space" where certain parts of your body should be (i.e. elbow, wrist, etc...)

Here are a couple of other hints to help with your practise...

- Toes point straight forwad but knees have a sense of pointing in.
- Tailbone is tucked in
- Spine is straight at all times
- Be aware of your elbow positions at all times. Most beginners cannot maintain their elbow on the yin or nipple line.


Hope that this helps...
