Footwork & hand leg coordination

The second form's footwork is not the only concept emphasized. Hand and leg coordination is very important as well. For examples, students need to have a good control arm positioning and a good timing for pull and push power required for the section of Lan sao and Bong sao turning exercises. Students need to have good timing and structure on pushing the Bong sao side way while simultaneously stepping forward. Power is also generated from the back leg. By pushing the back leg while stepping forward, power is transferred from the heel to both elbows. This is similar to the stepping forward with two Bong sao exercise.
