When Lu Xiaojun performs the snatch, it is a minimal movement.
Yes the weight is immense – the message he is sending here is loud and clear.
Yet his methodology is as simple and as stripped down as possible.
Of course, this is also pleasing to the eye. It is beautiful, and also requires extreme control, finesse and a huge amount of practice.
I’m the first to admit, it can be tempting to add.
Yet when you look to send a message through movement, words or voice, rather than adding more, how can you actually reduce?
As Lu and many others teach us, we often find excellence when the message is conveyed and yet nothing else can be stripped away.
