Stand on Toes and Bounce

This is the final piece of the Eight Pieces of Brocade.
There are 3 components to this exercise... hands on the waist, hands on the back, then hands palm up in front of the chest with the toe raise... then just shake and move about to let the chi move about.

In summation, the way I describe the 8 pieces:
1-Holding Up the Heavens
2-The Archer
3-Liver and Spleen
4-Turning the Head
5-Sway the Head and Swing the Tail
6-Reach for Earth, Touch the Sky
7-Punch with Angry Gaze
8-Stand on Toes and Bounce

This represents the warm up routine for the Bagua training, after some gentle stretching and getting ready for training.
