十三操外加一: 倒轉乾坤First additional step of 13 steps

在第一張十三操手稿裡,細心的人應該發覺到,十三操最後結束後,周師父又多加了二式。這另外加的二式,必須在十三操做得很熟之後,才能再加做的二式。

外加第一式為「倒轉乾坤」。全身放鬆,雙手舉起過頭,力貫雙手,整個人像個車輪般,向右側手翻翻過去。

剛開始時也許會害怕,慢慢調整身體和地面的角度,久而久之就會習慣。當身體翻轉起來時,從側面看,應該是和地面成九十度。周師父說,當人的身體成倒立的姿勢時,整身的經脈氣血都是不順的,然而我們需要習慣這種不順,這樣如果遇到什麼意外時,才不會因一時的頭下腳上而天旋地轉,昏天暗地到無法反應而受傷。

If you look carefully enough, you can see there were 2 steps had been added after 13 steps on 13 steps sketch. You have to be very fluent of 13 steps before you start to do those 2 additional steps.

The first additional step is "heaven and earth reversal". It's just an idea, which means to turn your body upside-down.
Relax your whole body, raise your arms over your head, focus on your hands, then do a right-hand side flit like a wheel.

You may be frighten at the beginning, adjust the angle of your body with the ground once at the time, you will get use to it after a while. When you are doing the flit, your body should be vertical with the ground.

Sifu Zhou said, when your body is upside-down, your vein and chi should be unnatural and uncomfortable, but we have to get use to this kind of feeling. Once if we ran into some accident, we won't get hurt easily because we were flying upside-down and couldn't protect ourselves.
