Master Robert Amackervis the real thing. He came to my wing chun school in Amsterdam in the late 1990's while visiting his friend Roy Richardson. He shared insights with me that I have used ever since to help me with my martial arts and my life ever since -
Nice instruction! Especially appreciated how you explained keeping things round, not collapsing, and the details of keeping the back straight and the kua open. Earned a sub from a Chen guy!
It is true that tucking the pelvis under is not a good idea, nor is it part of the Yeung family's instructions; hollowing the chest is a fundamental idea. From Yeung Sau Chung's book 'Practical Use of Tai Chi Chuan' translated by Yeung Ma Lee Sifu (daughter): Rule #2 from the 'thirteen important rules,' Hollow the chest and raise the back. Rule #3, the first sentence - Keep the energy leisurely down to the navel psychic centre...by hollowing the chest and loosening the waist. By no means should the chest feel 'full.' This is an extremely important structural point and matter of health. Though Mr. Amackervis may take a difference with this point according to his instruction, the pieces are partially there but ultimately inconsistent with the Family's instructions. You certainly DO NOT contract the back muscles. What basis do I have for these strong statements? Thirty years of training in the Family's system and many hours and years of hands-on training with Family descendants in HK.

Love the headband
As always, makes difficult matters very simple to understand...

I get the “egg” thing and have felt it with many people. But what about Hua jin?
Such a valuable lesson! Instead, so many other teachers (in my experience) teach tucking the pelvis under.
