Clear the arm, close the line
23Tight two-shot in profile on a city rooftop at dusk, an older Wing Chun teacher with silver hair and a young male student in black kung fu jackets trade a fast trapping exchange, cinematic, real time dropping into slow motion on the punch. 0–2s: they face each other at close range, forearms touching, the city glowing behind. 2–4s: she slaps his lead arm down with her open palm. 4–6s: in slow motion she fires a short vertical-fist punch that stops just short of his chest, his jacket fluttering. 6–8s: back at real speed they both return to the start, forearms touching. Throughout: both figures visible from the waist up, laundry lines and apartment windows blurred behind, cool blue dusk with warm window light.
Partner drills read best in profile. “Stopping just short” keeps contact out of the shot.
