磨轉千遭臍不動
The millstone turns a thousand times, its pivot remains still
練藝不練腰終究藝不高
Training the art without training the waist, in the end it's a waste*
三盤一軸
One axle for three plates
The waist links the upper and down parts.
Two vertebrae are the waist.
The whole pelvic region is also the waist.
Hips straight and shoulders on the side is the waist twisting independently from the hips.
Hips and shoulders straight but the stomach twisted is the waist spiralling independently from them.
Bending and rounding the down part of the back is the waist folding.
Arms and legs follow the circle, the waist is its centre.
External and internal centres are linked but not necessarily the same.
*The exact translation is "..., in the end the art is not great", but waste rhymes more
