Here are some training videos from Master Paul Hawkes of your basic hand positions and some shape drills for you to practice to at home. For more the more advanced students you can progress to training your shape drills by adding the shifting position as you apply the techniques. All shape drills are perfect for solo training.

We recommend that you watch one, then practice a few times until you are confident with the techniques before moving onto another one. It’s tempting to watch as many as you can to get as much information in a short space of time. But remember PERSEVERANCE and repetitive PRACTICE is key.
