Near the end of the video, Bruce, in part, focuses on closing the kwa on the right leg effectively becoming rooted on that leg. My issue is, when practicing this movement the left knee collapses inward. I’m wondering if anyone else has this issue and/or how they resolved it.
I’ve gone back to the beginning of lesson 35 and watched Bruce’s demonstration through Single Whip and can’t discern what happens to his left knee; it’s so subtle (as always)…
I can relate to your issue of the unweighted leg collapsing. What I have found helpful to mel is to slowly review the exact moment my knee and leg loses the connection. In lesson 34, bend and tuck, I find it helpful to feel a connection to the ground up. Similarly, as you close the qwa on the right and weight shift rooting your weight you should be able to pinpoint the collapse in the left leg and at that point think about the bend and tuck which has helped me not lose or at least recapture the left leg’s connection to the ground.
