Expanded Information

1, there is a descending forward step, due to the upper body center of gravity forward to guide, the weight of the rapid fall, the ankle joint relaxes and bends forward, in particular, the knee of the supporting foot descends considerably more than the toes of the foot, and its inertia prompts the shape of the gliding type of rapid forward;

2, there is a descending backward step, due to the upper body center of gravity backward to guide, the weight of the rapid fall, the knee joints naturally bends backward, especially the The thigh root supporting the foot falls much more than the heel, and its inertia causes the form of the slippery slope type of rapid backward movement;

3, there is a rise in the forward progress or backward step, due to the elasticity of the knees and ankles first curved and then stretched out, and its inertia prompted by the center of gravity of the upper body, the weight of the upper body from the low to the high level of the rapid movement of the upper position to form a swinging momentum, so as to follow the trend to complete the natural tilt and the prescribed degree of rotation;

4, the knees and ankles to relax the flexure And drop must drop through, knee and ankle strong straight and rise must rise enough, drop through rise enough in order to form a deep wave-like sense of flow.
