• Palms are shoulder-width apart
If palms are too wide, this will eventually result in excessive vibration on your arms and lower Dahn-jun, causing you to lose energy
• Head line is straight, with eyes looking straight down

The fall can also subject the joints and bones to undue pressure that is often felt as a sharp pain.
