Silk-Reeling Energy - Exercise 5 - Diagonal Arms - Chan Ssu Jin

This is a short clip (3 minutes) from Sifu Ken Gullette's newly revised DVD on silk-reeling energy, or Chan Ssu Jin -- www.kungfu4u.com/internal-dvds.html. This clip shows highlights on instruction for Silk-Reeling exercise #5 -- Up/Down Diagonal Arms. The exercises in this DVD help you put the spiraling movements of silk-reeling together with the key body mechanics that make Tai Chi and Bagua (and Xingyi) such powerful internal martial arts. Ken has learned silk-reeling exercises from Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang, Chen Xiaoxing, and their students and disciples. Ken's first silk-reeling DVD, shot in 2008, has been praised by martial artists worldwide. This DVD replaces it, with more information and a widescreen format. Besides detailed, step-by-step instruction in each of the 19 exercises, you will watch as Ken coaches a student through the fine points. You'll also go inside a workshop that Ken taught on these movements. The DVD is available on Ken's websites -- www.kungfu4u.com and his blog at www.internalfightingartsblog.com -- and it is also available on Amazon. Silk-reeling "energy" is not to be taken literally. In translation, "energy" means "method." It is a way of moving that provides more power to internal kung-fu. There is a money-back guarantee on all of Ken's DVDs and free shipping worldwide (Prime shipping available on Amazon).
