3. "Six-character Secrets" for Pulling and Pushing Bow Training

Pull the bow, that is, "pull the bow to open, the wrist collar". When drawing the bow, spread the palm of your hand, and the right wrist slightly deflects to the right to lead the bow. The right wrist should protrude slightly outwards in a "protruding state", and pull it out to the right with the wrist as the first action point. Be careful not to stretch the big arm out too early, so that the elbow is raised too much, causing the bad tendency of "big arm up". In addition, when the bow is drawn, the right arm cannot be moved to the right rear, so that the bow is drawn into a circular arc.

Pushing the bow, that is, "pushing the bow together, the big arm collar". When pushing the bow, close the right palm, lead the forearm, and bend the right wrist inward to push the bow to the left. To take the big arm back as the first move point, drive the forearm to the left. At this point, the wrist should be "inwardly flexed". When the big arm is finished, the forearm continues to push to the left; after the forearm is finished, the hand will push the bow a few centimeters, so that the wrist will be transformed into the "intermediate state" again, so as to start the next bow-drawing action.
