Hello Forum,

Have been doing these for a while, here another update I shot today...

Would love to hear what you think I need improvement in!

In my opinion some of the movements are too wide. Especially the wu dip sau.

certainly interesting to see the differences in yours and mine. looks good. a couple notes that im curious about:

The one thing i noticed is towards the end. In the last section you block low, come up with an elbow, then a lon sau(just before the butterfly palms at the end).

It seemed you do it out to the side. the elbow comes up vertically aligned with your shoulders, away from your center line. Not sure if this is a product of your system(is it?), but i prefer this closer to the center line. Tighter to the chest. When that elbow comes up, try bringing it directly up your center line very close to your chest. something to play with.

also of much interest to me is your breathing. you seemed to breath sharply with each move. While i personally have specific breath with specific moves in the form, i don't breath like that through much of it. Curious about who does that, who doesn't.

The elbow thing might be simply something I will have to work on

My breathing is due to a narrow opening at the nose, it becomes more audible then others would have. I actually half breath through the mouth and the nose on inhaling because of it. I know people who let it widen up but I found a workaround that works for me, so I stay away from 'medical care'
