Physical Harmonies

Out of the six harmonies there are three internal and three external. The external ones are the ones that I am going to talk about. These are some realizations I have come too through mindful practice of the forms and applying the six harmonies. The first one is hands and feet, This one is all about timing and making sure everything arrives at the same time. Without this one none of the others can effectively come into play. Without this aspect your techniques are thrown only from the limb and not the entire body. It works on perfectly timing the body and the technique so that after a lot of practice technique and body become one. The next is elbows and knees. This one is all about vector training. you can have great timing with your technique and body but without the ability to move into you objective efficiently you cant effectively attack or defend from any position. elbows and knees need to work together in order so all that timing is put to proper use with the proper angle of attack or defence. Last is hips and shoulders these are where all your power comes from. Well actually it come from the ground but it is transferred into the hips through proper stances then transformed into power as it travels from hips to shoulders then into the wrist and finally into the objective. Without hips and shoulders in proper position it is impossible to achieve proper power transfer from the ground into the wrist. This is only achievable with the proper timing, and vector because without those two aspect all the power in the world is just wasted into nothingness.
