Bend the Bow, Shoot the Arrow

This is one continuous exercise that works mainly the back and spine.

The vertebrae, connecting ligaments, fascia, cerebro-spinal fluid, spinal cord and energies of the spine are all exercised.

This exercise continues the work of The Marriage of Heaven and Earth and makes the body very open and strong. After much practice the body gains the quality of 'sprung steel', which is the main component of 'Fa Jing' - the ability to release enrgy to project a person away from you.

This set is used to correct back problems and improve posture, as well as overhauling and strengthening the central nervous system. The energetic movement is from periphery to center and from center to periphery throughout the whole body.
