Training this week
Saturday/Sunday Training: importance of the wrist and its influence on back tension
The "set position" begins the motion of the back by placing the fingers on the string and cocking the wrist in such a way that the angular shot sequence aligns for the "coiling" rotation around the body. Often students cock the wrist toward the bow arm rather than away, which starts a linear arm pull and loses the strength provided from the back muscles. The goal is to set the fingers and wrist in a position to have the upper back arm (called "lan 2") start the movement, being pulled by the back, rather than the arm. We will also work with paint bucket drops to simulate this wrist position.
