The energy ball frames the center of the body. After stepping right, the body moves as a single unit, led by the waist and hips .Right foot faces forward; back foot 45 degrees towards the corner. Weight is 70% on the forward leg.
This is a powerful movement with the body strong because it is relaxed, powered by the legs and commanded by the waist.
Ward-off Right is the fourth movement in Cheng Man-ch’ing’s short Yang style form. The mind, Yi, directs the energy, Qi — that is where the power lies, with the energy and not with the muscles.
