"Don't worry too much about your hands." A common pitfall is that stern stiffness that comes from focusing on what goes where and when and why, or how much is too much and whether or not sweaty palms matter when the whole point is to sweat.

"It's all in the hips. Your legs." And as an example, she takes another step backwards, slowly dropping the line of her own as an example. "Where they go, your body will follow. Same as if you're fighting."
