Hi my name is Dan Schmidt from the Chinese Martial Arts Center in Seminole and today we are going to be performing the two handed downward flower. So with this type of flower you want to start with both hands facing down the thumb to thumb grip and you want to start with it about shoulder width apart. You are going to start like this. Take your left hand and place it under your right arm pit. Hold your right arm out straight. You want the tip of the staff to be about head height. You have this type of a grip. From here make the tip go across the body straight down by the leg and this end come straight down towards the middle. This end follows and now you are going to wrap the right hand under the left armpit and the left arm goes straight out, head height. So you are here and now it continues on this side, go across, twist the hip, separate here. Now the left hand goes under the arm and straight out, straight down and out. You want to practice this in halves so open, strike, open, strike. That's the two handed downward flower.
