Circle-walking in stab heaven and earth feeling
Twist the inside arm up as far as it will go, placing the upper arm at the ear. Twist the outside arm down as far as it will go, placing the back of the hand on the hip or thigh of the inside leg. Turn the body in to face the centre of the circle, keeping the arms in hte same position relative to the body. Keep the shoulders settled down and be careful not to arch the back to achieve the position.
Stab heaven and earth circle-walking fixes problems of people who find it hard to keep the back upright, and it also fixes problems in the neck. You can walk holding a spear, and this will help prepare the body to play with the spear.
