Tiaofa setting stake drills

1. Sit back, then drive forward to tiao da (single zhuangzhang with the tiao) (right strike as example). Bring the left hand over to gaizhang, then rotate and reach (tiao) so that it does an upward block (jia) as the right hand does the zhuang. To continue, bring the left hand down to the knee, back of the hand on the knee, then rotate and reach to tiao and then jia as you step forward to zhuang. Concentrate on the elbows, not the hands, to that the power does not dissipate.
