Lesson 19 Fourth section of form, shoulder flexibility

Some basic strikes are involved in this section. Main point is to access some shoulder movement and flexibility. In the sequence, your shoulders will be moving in all directions, with the exception of circling. This is a great way to start getting some shoulder flexibility and can be used as a warmup set of moves.
