Fetch water with the rubber cord
  • Step on one end of the cord to lock it on the ground, pull it with the rear hand.
  • Train opening of the front kua.
  • Find the appropriate strength in the rubber cord to be strong enough that we cannot use the hands/arms to stretch it, but weak enough that we can use the kua to stretch it.
One knee up, one knee down with rubber cord
  • Hold the cord with two hands, stretch it to form a straight line
  • Find the appropriate strength in the rubber cord to be strong enough that we cannot use the hands/arms to stretch it, but weak enough that we can use the kua to stretch it.
  • As we do the knee action, the torso drops straight down causing the shoulder and elbow to go into the line of between the two hands to stretch the cord.
  • There is no power at the hands or arms other than holding the rubber cord securely.
  • The chest stretches backwards against the outward hand.
  • The torso is one big gear that is connected to the arm at the shoulder. The arm gear and the torso are connected at a 45 degree angle. Rotating the torso causes the arm to drill outwards.
Torso goes down only
  • Sit on a chair
  • Put the front forearm on something, such as the back of another chair.
  • Torso going down will not drag the front arm downwards. It must cause the front arm to go outwards.
