Light And Athletic Foot

手腳眼為根

Hands, feet and eyes for roots

足膝效法乎坤，取其鎮靜厚載*

Feet and knees model themselves on The Feminine, fetching its unruffled largeness which supports and contains.

腳為四肢百骸之舟楫，一身之領袖，稍有不合，全體之氣俱不入矣，不可不細為區別**

Feet are the oars of all the limbs and bones, what leads the body, just a little bit uncomfortable, none of the whole body vapours can enter! They cannot not be meticulously diacritical

With 26 bones, 33 joints and more than a hundred muscles, tendons and ligaments, the foot is a complex machine often overlooked in training.

A great part of one's balance comes from the connection between the feet and the inner ears, hence training in the dark.

Floating or sinking, the feet always remain totally lax.

Heavy stretch, high kicks, jumping around and all kinds of acrobatic moves were customised to improve the strength of the ankles and the stability of one's feet.

Training the grip is also meant for the feet.

Wearing shoes has removed a great part of the reflexology effect of having one's feet on the ground.

Moving toes flattens one's stomach.

Little changes in one's feet, great impact in one's body.

The stronger the little toes, the better the back.
