Solo Bridge Hand Sequence No. 1 Part 2

I call Solo Bridge Hand Sequence No. 1 as 6-Linking Hands (6-LH) since another objective for its learning is to train the hands to move continuously in a linking fashion and not freeze up when encountering resistance.

As a reminder the 6 movements of the first variation of the first sequence are :-
1) 6-LH-1 : Stand with right foot forward and do right punch to chin height
2) 6-LH-2 : Then drop down to solar plexus height to block
3) 6-LH-3 : Use leopard fist to strike at throat height
4) 6-LH-4 : Open up leopard fist and use palm to parry to left
5) 6-LH-5 : Form hook hand and strike forward
6) 6-LH-6 : Up hook hand and use palm to parry by pulling back to right shoulder

For practice with a partner we should train it in this reordered manner which I will term as the second variation :-
1) 6-LH-1
2) 6-LH-6
3) 6-LH-3
4) 6-LH-4
5) 6-LH-5
6) 6-LH-2

Training the second variation teaches a few things :-

a) Better awareness of controlling the main gate

b) Understand how traditional CMA works to attack and defend the Chung Kung area

c) Have a taste of how NGK dotting hand works as the second variation sequence is closer to what the first NGK dotting hand sequence is like.
