You must have been taught there is a transition stroke between 6 Sealings and 4 closings and Single Whip especially if you are doing the Old Frame. It is actually a series of movement that look like you are rotating a ball while holding it with both palms open. The movements relied alot of the wrists movements and the hip rotation. You can “rotate” the “imaginary” ball one and half times or 2 and half times.
WHat actually is behind this movement is a “qinna” (Joint locking) breacking techniques. It will enables you to break a forehand or wrist lock by someone. Think about it.

This cool movement is a manifestation of “split” (“lie”) from the ba fa, right? …Not sure about this; just a beginner here. What is clear to me is that this transitional movement breaks up the opponent’s attempt to seize us, which is immediately followed by our lifting his wrist/arm in our hook hand to set up Single Whip application(s). The hips move powerfully when executing the move (“Small Circle Theory” notwithstanding).
It’s great to hear more-experienced practitioners (that’s not me!) discuss the nuts and bolts of the Chen forms (without the endless dialogues found on some forums)… Thanks!
hi paul
welcome onboard…
in fact there are so many applications in each stroke that the possibilities are endless. Ma Hong book is great on this but again there is no one fix way to use the strokes. I myself am not much into applications though :p
