    I understand that Different schools/teachers have different methods/philosophies. So I'm not saying anyone is wrong, just that I prefer a different idea on the role of the wrists.

  • ... Continue

    The arm is like a steering wheel of a car, the wrist is like the suspension, the hand is like the wheel and the fingers like the tyres. Arm drives and provide directions (in or out, left or right and rotation). Hand provides structure for the fingers so they don't collapse. Fingers do the running on the keys. Wrists stays passive to allow what other parts need to do and absorb forces to relief tensions from arm, hand and finger.

    I'm only a student and understand different schools

  • I'm not sure about the wrist exercises. I agree that the wrist should be free and flexible, but think that it is easy to injure the wrists twisting them side ways or using it to drive the arms or hands. I think it is more effective that the wrists stay passive ( but free and flexible) and have the arms do the "driving". There are other ways to avoid twisting the wrists sideways, such as moving in and out of the keys and using arm rotations.

    I think of the arms as the steering wheel of a car,

  • Why twisting your wrists in such a way when you can simply go in or out?
