Explanation of the Front, Side, Back Crossing Legs exercises Chinese – English transcript

0:00:00.520,0:00:03.371

這個鬆地踢哦，所以你踢起來啊，

Kick relaxedly, so when you kick,

0:00:03.643,0:00:07.927

你的這個腿啊，胯跟膝蓋要往外開。

the crotch and knee should turn outwards.

0:00:08.282,0:00:09.775

所以你如果是鬆的話，

So, if you keep it flexible,

0:00:09.775,0:00:13.525

髖關節在你外開的時候，踢起來的時候，它會翻。

the hip joint will turn outwards when kicking.

0:00:14.376,0:00:16.503

它會動啊，它會動。

It(hip joint) will move.

0:00:16.503,0:00:21.142

你如果用胯來抬腿的話呢，髖關節就不會動。

If you lift the leg with the crotch, the hip joint won’t move.

0:00:21.642,0:00:23.892

就不會動，它就死掉了。

It won’t move, and it’s dead.

0:00:23.892,0:00:26.071

曉得嗎？所以它要鬆掉。

Understand? So, it needs to be relaxed.

0:00:26.071,0:00:29.833

就是說，當我們在做這個的時候，它會在轉，它會轉。

That is, when doing this, it will turn.

0:00:30.093,0:00:30.960

它會轉。

It will turn.

0:00:32.901,0:00:36.568

所以這個是前面踢，就這樣踢。

So, kick forwards like this.

0:00:37.129,0:00:39.499

可以插腰啊，你可以手放在這邊。

You can put hands on the waist or here.

0:00:43.685,0:00:44.849

來，試試看。

Let’s try.

0:00:46.836,0:00:50.833

這裡盤腿，這個盤是當作動詞用。

The phrase Crossing Legs is an action.

0:00:50.833,0:00:56.063

一般我們講打坐那個叫盤腿嘛，盤坐那個盤腿。

Generally speaking, there is something called to sit with the legs crossed.

0:00:56.359,0:00:58.373

我們這裡的盤腿好像是什麼？

What’s the Crossing Legs we are talking about here?

0:00:58.373,0:01:04.051

好像你知道玩玉有叫盤玉的，玩玉的人啊。

It’s like, you know, people who are interested in jades will put the jade in the hand.

0:01:05.397,0:01:06.589

你們不懂啊？

Don’t you know this?

0:01:06.967,0:01:12.292

盤玉就是一塊玉拿來啊，它每天在手上面搓，那樣子叫做盤玉啊。

That means to rub the jade in the hand every day.

0:01:12.730,0:01:19.486

就是把人的溫度跟那個玉啊，做一個常常做一個摩擦。

Often rub the jade with the people’s body temperature.

0:01:19.486,0:01:24.149

那一塊玉就變得越來越潤，越潤。

The jade will get sleeker and sleeker.

0:01:24.409,0:01:28.658

所以這個盤是一個動詞，是一個動詞。

So, the word “cross” is a verb.

0:01:28.658,0:01:31.628

所以這種呢，我們叫做盤腿。

So, this is called the Crossing Legs.

0:01:32.077,0:01:34.895

有三個，剛才這個是第一個。

There are three of them and this is the first one.

0:01:34.966,0:01:40.421

那這個東西呢，在我們比方講，運動前，尤其是天冷的時候。

We can do this when, for example, before exercising, especially when it’s cold.

0:01:40.847,0:01:43.471

天冷的時候啊，腿比較硬了，僵硬。

When it is cold, legs are stiffer.

0:01:43.471,0:01:48.215

或者你們家有老人家，讓他扶到東西做。

Or, if there are elder people in your family, let them hold on something to do this.

0:01:49.119,0:01:55.261

扶到牆，扶到桌子，或扶到一個東西來做，慢慢做這個盤。

Hold on to the wall, table, or something else, and do the Crossin Legs slowly.

0:01:55.950,0:01:58.200

盤起來，這是前盤。

Have the legs crossed, and this is the Front Crossing Legs.

0:01:58.377,0:02:00.899

第二個側盤腿。

The second one is the Side Crossing Legs.

0:02:02.266,0:02:06.294

側盤腿呢，也是這個髖關節往這裡轉，往這裡轉。

Regarding Side Crossing Legs, it also needs to turn the hip joint. Turn it this way.

0:02:06.294,0:02:08.164

所以側盤腿是這樣子。

So, the Side Crossing Legs is like this.

0:02:10.544,0:02:12.096

這樣子，這樣子。

Like this.

0:02:12.746,0:02:16.346

很多人練…你看現在很多老同學練的這個側盤腿啊，

Many students do the Side Crossing Legs wrong;

0:02:16.346,0:02:21.456

都變成往後踢，這裡沒有轉，大腿根沒有轉。

they kick backwards without turning the root of the leg.

0:02:21.669,0:02:25.835

其實你用的是大腿根轉，是這個，是這個。

In fact, you need to do it with the root of the leg turned.

0:02:26.213,0:02:29.386

這個力量，這個力量踢，這個。

Kick with this force.

0:02:29.932,0:02:31.909

這個，你用的是這個。

You need to do it with this.

0:02:32.228,0:02:35.718

所以這個，這邊也是這個，用這個。

So, it is the same at the other side.

0:02:36.167,0:02:38.559

這個踢起來，所以是這樣的。

Kick like this.

0:02:39.468,0:02:43.333

所以踢的方向是這個往前的，往前踢的。

So, the direction of the leg is forward.

0:02:43.333,0:02:45.581

所以並不是腳跟往後踢。

It’s not to make the heel kick backwards.

0:02:45.936,0:02:49.794

是腳的外側往前方踢，是這樣子。

The outer side of the foot kicks forwards like this.

0:02:52.322,0:02:54.211

這個盤是這裡在轉。

Crossing Legs needs to make this turned.

0:02:54.424,0:02:59.735

剛才的胯，剛才前盤腿的胯是往這裡翻。

The Front Crossing Legs we just talked about makes the crotch turn this way.

0:03:00.492,0:03:02.719

是不是？你不要過中線嘛。

Isn’t it? Don’t cross the middle line.

0:03:02.719,0:03:08.148

現在的胯是往這裡翻，往內翻，側盤腿。

Now, the crotch turns inwards to do the Side Crossing Legs.

0:03:10.437,0:03:13.767

所以前盤再加上…你們試試看側盤。

So, there are Front Crossing Legs and Side Crossing Legs, and you guys may try.

0:03:13.767,0:03:16.618

你先做這個看看，先做這個。

Try to do this first.

0:03:17.419,0:03:20.136

大腿根轉，等一下，先不踢。

Turn the root of the leg, and don’t kick for now.

0:03:20.834,0:03:21.827

大腿根轉。

Turn the root of the leg.

0:03:23.368,0:03:23.951

轉。

Turn.

0:03:24.885,0:03:25.527

轉。

Turn.

0:03:26.177,0:03:26.792

轉。

Turn.

0:03:27.596,0:03:28.214

轉。

Turn.

0:03:28.736,0:03:32.049

對，身體…儘量不要用身體轉。

Yes. Try your best to not turn your body.

0:03:33.314,0:03:36.502

胯根，胯根轉。

Turn the root of the crotch.

0:03:37.614,0:03:38.278

轉。

Turn.

0:03:39.118,0:03:42.446

轉到大腿的儘量這一面朝內。

Do your best to turn the leg until this side is facing inwards.

0:03:42.446,0:03:42.946

轉。

Turn.

0:03:43.218,0:03:43.718

轉。

Turn.

0:03:44.073,0:03:48.594

轉，用這個力量，髖關節的力量。

Turn with the force of the hip joint.

0:03:48.594,0:03:52.368

髖關節的力量，腿都鬆的，用髖關節力。

The whole leg is relaxed and exert the force with the hip joint.

0:03:54.056,0:03:57.672

所以你等一下踢起來就是用這個力踢的，用這個力踢的。

So, when you kick, you kick with this force.

0:03:57.790,0:03:59.165

所以，你看，胯。

So, you may see. Crotch.

0:04:01.385,0:04:04.764

所以，手放這邊的話，你看它是這樣子的。

So, if the hands are here, it goes like this.

0:04:10.654,0:04:11.394

這樣子。

This.

0:04:12.306,0:04:15.642

來，試試看，這是側盤腿。

Ok. Try it. This is the Side Crossing Legs.

0:04:16.426,0:04:19.007

這個你用臀，你在用臀抬。

You lift with the butt.

0:04:19.007,0:04:21.303

你看，你看，有沒有？你看，有沒有？

See. Isn’t it like this?

0:04:22.169,0:04:24.000

不要用臀了，你不要用臀。

Stop lifting your butts.

0:04:25.184,0:04:26.250

不要用臀了。

Stop lifting your butts.

0:04:28.615,0:04:30.485

不要用臀，就是胯，就是胯。

Stop lifting your butts. It’s the crotch.

0:04:32.720,0:04:33.811

你在用臀啊。

You are doing it with your butts.

0:04:38.000,0:04:41.809

不要用臀，不要，不要用腰，就是胯。

Stop lifting butts or the waist. It’s the crotch.

0:04:44.931,0:04:46.446

你看，這邊。

See, here.

0:04:51.471,0:04:51.971

你看。

See.

0:04:53.473,0:04:54.716

鬆的，鬆的。

Relax.

0:05:00.996,0:05:01.674

你看。

See.

0:05:04.725,0:05:06.299

你那個是往後踢了。

You kick backwards.

0:05:06.938,0:05:09.377

你那個變成往後了。

What you do is kicking backwards.

0:05:17.746,0:05:18.246

來。

Come.

0:05:19.631,0:05:21.584

來，來，跟我，跟我。

Follow me.

0:05:22.175,0:05:24.506

來，跟我，跟我。

Follow me.

0:05:25.890,0:05:26.767

跟我。

Follow me.

0:05:41.182,0:05:43.229

往後用腳跟踢臀部

Kick backwards with your heel touching your butts.

0:05:43.729,0:05:48.640

左腳的腳跟踢右臀，右腳的腳跟踢左臀。

The left heel kicks the right butt, and the right heel kicks the left butt.

0:05:56.776,0:05:59.471

要踢到啊，要踢到。

Need to kick and touch it.

0:06:00.441,0:06:03.405

哎屁股小的就把屁股練大一點啊。

If your butts are small, train your butts to make them bigger.

0:06:05.688,0:06:09.192

要踢到喔，腳後跟踢到。

Make heels touch them(butts).

0:06:13.130,0:06:17.164

這個動作運動前，你可以做。

You may do this activity before exercising.

0:06:17.164,0:06:20.512

運動後，比方講你站馬步啊練低樁啊，

For example, if you practice Horse Stance or lower stances,

0:06:21.091,0:06:24.224

大腿的肌肉用的比較多，練完以後，

the muscle of laps is exerted a lot, so after practicing,

0:06:24.638,0:06:28.603

也用這個來盤，用這個把它再鬆開。

you can also do Crossing Legs to stretch and relax the muscle.

0:06:28.828,0:06:31.930

把關節，把肌肉都把它鬆開。

Stretch and make muscle along with joints relaxed.

0:06:32.462,0:06:36.133

所以這三個啊往外盤，它拉的是內，

So, among these three, if you kick outwards, it stretches the inner,

0:06:37.008,0:06:39.824

內側的筋，髖關節是往外翻。

the fascia from the inside, and the hip joint turns outwards.

0:06:40.155,0:06:49.357

那往側盤，側盤是旁邊的筋啊，你的髖關節是往內翻。

Side Crossing Legs work on the fascia by the side with the hip joints turned inwards.

0:06:49.771,0:06:54.268

後盤是拉的前面的筋跟膝蓋這個筋。

Back Crossing Legs stretches the fascia in the front and fascia of the knee.

0:06:55.064,0:06:59.869

這個筋、髖關節是往下壓的，往後、往下壓。

The fascia and the hip joints are pressed downwards and backwards.

0:07:00.082,0:07:03.111

壓的，正的。

Press it. Don’t tilt.

0:07:05.500,0:07:08.150

所以這三個可以常練習。

So, these three can be practiced a lot.

0:07:09.947,0:07:13.638

這三個常練，平常都可以練。

Practice these three often.

0:07:14.473,0:07:17.602

你平常自己呀不一定三個一起踢，

You don’t need to practice these three all at once;

0:07:17.602,0:07:21.766

你就踢幾個，踢三十秒。

you just practice some for thirty seconds.

0:07:22.570,0:07:24.000

三十秒都行。

It’s fine to just kick for thirty seconds.

0:07:25.407,0:07:27.029

所以今天跟你們講這三個。

So, these three are what I would like to tell you today.

0:07:27.029,0:07:30.779

我本來以為今天的天氣會蠻涼的。

I originally thought that the weather would be cold today.

0:07:32.210,0:07:34.990

所以這個尤其好是在天氣涼做。

It’s especially good to practice this when the weather is cold.

0:07:36.906,0:07:40.193

好，你們再練練，再揣摩。

Ok. You guys think about it and keep practicing.
