The 8 silk reeling drills from Baguazhang. Silk reeling drills are designed to stretch and elongate the tendons in the body to make micro-fine connections in the muscles,tendons and bones to produce connectivity in the whole body for Internal Martial arts practice. The "Silk" is the tendons themselves. In Internal Martial arts such as Bagua, Hsing-I and Taichi, relaxation is stressed. Muscular strength is not used. Instead, structure of the body (the skeleton) is stressed as well as incorporating tendon strength and flexibility. Performed by Sifu/Guro Jason W. Brigham
