NOTE: All numbers of repetitions indicate reps done on BOTH sides.
We did some unorthodox training today, so we will do our best to explain what they were. We have included descriptions at the bottom of this post. In the future we will include pictures to facilitate understanding.
Phoenix Wheel 6min x 2, 5min x 2, 4min x 2
Phoenix Representational Posture Set x 3
Variant Posture Set x 1
Phoenix Chopping Posture 1 x 3min
Strikes:
Wheeling Chop 1 x 300
Severing Chop 1 x 300
Arcing Chop 1 x 300
One set of 33 Wheeling, 33 Severing and 34 Arcing
Combinations (emphasize the transforming/removing elements between strikes for the combinations):
High Stab + Arcing Chop (under the arm) x 50 (4-step)
High Stab + Rolling Transform with the hand to Stab under the arm + Shoulder lean + Arcing Chop x 50 (4-step)
High Stab + Low Wheel Chop to chest + Arcing Chop to groin x 50 (4-step)
Inside Push + (same hand) Arching Chop x 50 (4-step)
Wiping Clear + Arc to ribs + Inside dodge to back of the head x 50 (4-step)
If any of these combinations are unclear, comment and let us know! We will post more detailed descriptions in the comment section!
Applications
* This is the basic introductory exercise for Phoenix system. It involves swaying the arms back and forth with tension contained in the waist and hands, but with completely relaxed shoulders. The arms should stop at shoulder level on each side, resembling Phoenix representational posture. This exercise should be done in a low horse stance, with hands swaying below and close in front of the knees.
(In this set we did four variations of the Phoenix representational posture. The first involved shifting 100% of the weight onto one leg, while the other leg remained empty and away for balance. The second variant had the same distribution of weight, only the empty leg was pulled close to the other leg resembling the squatting/enfolding posture. The final variant had the leg lifted so that the upper leg was parallel to the floor and the foot was completely off the ground. The three repetitions of this set involved doing Variation #1 for 1 minute on each side, and then the regular representational posture for 2 minutes per side. The second set had Variation #2 for 1 minute per side followed by the regular posture, and set three had Variant #3 followed by the representational posture. Finally, we did one set of each variant of the posture sequentially for 1 minute per side (totaling 3 minutes per side, 1 minute for each variation)).
