Common Mistakes
? When withdrawing the right foot, the toes are not turned outward, the ball of the foot is landed too heavily; and the shift of the body center to the right is too sudden.
? In the side-bow stance, the toes of both feet are turned out too much, the direction of the right knee in is not the same as the right foot, which leads to a twisting of the hip.
? The power of the strike is not focused on the far end of the blade edge, the strength of the strike is not driven by the turn of the waist, and the right arm, elbow and wrist are not bent first and then extended, so that the strength cannot reach the front part of the sword edge. Striking is done as slicing (xuejian 肖剑).
