Tong Bei: relaxation exercises 通背

1. Huo Wan Gong 活腕功: loosening the wrist joints. Huo Zhou Gong 活肘功: loosening the elbow joints. Huo Bei Gong 活臂功: loosening the shoulder joints.

2. Ba Gua Liang Yi Zhuang 八卦两仪桩 with practice of Kou Bu 扣步and Bai Bu 摆步. Just a practice and not a demo. The knees are supposed to be close together.

I am new to the digit camcorder. I was not able to divide it from 1. So it tagged along.

@northpine Thanks for the video. I am having trouble with the Huo Zhou Gong exercise which involves moving both your arms in circles. Help appreciated thanks.

Never mind the name... the movements are not from the dantian... you could use what you do much more if you move from the center!

Good practice.

Tong Bei means relaxing all the time, as all internal martial arts, and yes, Tong Bei uses warming up and cooling down exercises, for example such as shaking the wrists (amongst many others)...

*nei gong. And neigong is an inherent part of all Chinese martial arts, especially those with a major internal side. Unless you are talking about something other than Baiyuan Tongbeiquan, you should really know that one of the main facets of tongbei is arm lengthening and relaxation, to provide a longer and more powerful spiralling strike.

This isn't Tong Bei nor does Tong bei have any relaxation exercises.... What a joke...
