Ma Bu routines

[wiz cool c]

The way I learned it and still practice is with the elbows at your ribs arms bent at a 90% angle, palms facing up. You can hold bricks in your palms. I hold fist sized stones in them. My teacher said to do 20 to 40 minutes. His reason {because you got so much other stuff to practice]. I feel good results with this method.

Also like to practice the two man balance games, kind of testing the root. One where you face each other in side Ma Bu and hold hands trying to pull each other out of their stance. The other where you cross wrists and try to grab your partner's wrist while trying to escape any grab. Once a hold on the wrist is secured you work on pulling them out of their stance.
