The Image Worth A Thousand Words

Thanks, mb. The 'Airplane Wing and Strut' has long been my favorite image of the Flying Wedges, especially at the Top of the Stroke. In fact, I use it with every new student.

Demonstrating the Wedges at the Top, I'll make this analogy:

"The Right Forearm Wedge supports the Left Arm Wedge like the strut of an airplane's wing."

Then, I'll suddenly collapse my right elbow toward my left, bringing my elbows very close together.

"How would you like to be on an airplane with a strut that looked like this?"

"Or this?" [Poking my elbow way out.]

'Nuff said!
