Section 2- Sun-style TaiChi 41 Forms: Brush Knee, Play Lute, Deflect Downward, Parry and Punch

Note the funky Follow-Step at :11 and how the foot is drawn inward to the center of the body, rather than maintaining its own lane. The following Cross-Step action is designed to be close to the center-line, but the Follow-Step is intended to be deliberately spaced from the center-line. Even if the Follow-Step and posture is compact, maintaining a “channel” between the Left and Right is generally the rule.
