Video – From practice to application

In this 4 minute video, Shizi Orchard shows us a particular movement being practiced on his own, and then some uses of it in combat. He is offering several variations of the same movement and it should give you a sense of how adaptable it is.

No situation is predictable so one needs to be able to change as needed. So watch closely to see the various angles he uses with the same basic posture. You will see him move up, down, inside, outside (the attacker’s punch),  etc. In fact, no two responses are exactly the same since no two attacks are exactly the same.

    Great video Shizi Orchard. Thank you for sharing. I do feel that potential, that you so effectively demonstrate, in Rolling the Pearl. Your movement is inspiring.
