Hi my name is Bob Linde and I'm going to show you the next move in the twenty four yang style tai chi set. I've been practicing tai chi for about thirteen years now. So we just finished with the last move which was push needle to sea bottom, so we've got all of our weight back here on our right foot. Our toe is down and we've got our knife hand on our right side of our knee and our left hand is slightly bent on the left side of our knee. So now we are going to bring everything up and we are going to do the next move called fan through the back. Empty step, and we push the fan through the back. Let me show you that move from another direction. So we finished our push needle to sea bottom, bring it all together, empty step and fan through the back. And of course with all these moves we have some great martial applications and there are a variety for this one. So come on up here and let me go ahead and show the martial application for this one. We step through and of course we have a wonderful throat strike with this. So we can bring it up, step through and strike, just like our fan through the back. So find a great tai chi instructor in your area and have a great time playing tai chi.
