As always, sublime teaching and information. The more practical aspects of the videos on positions and how to needle were very very helpful and was the only thing that was missing from your material Jim. Thank you from your generosity sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for the comment and feedback Yiannis, I'm developing videos that get to the positions and practical tips faster. Here's the content in that form. ruclips.net/video/ki7W8hj1guM/видео.html
The Three Scholars are great too, I've started not adding them at first on the painful side so that I can do some mobilization and acupressure as demonstrated in the videos.
I have found that there are always an opposite relationship between the glutei and hamstrings triceps surae . quite often you see the hamstrings are tight on one side, say the right leg and the triceps surae are tight on the opposite side eg, the left. also, you see the hamstrings can alternate on one side for example the biceps femoris short and long head on the ipsilateral side of the spine and the semitendinosus and semimembranosus muscle on the opposite side of the spine.
A lot of this can be explained when we closely examine the biomechanics and agonistic/antagonistic relationships between muscles. This is why integrating a myofasical line model into traditional meridian theory and point functions is so essential. It allows us to fully integrate the best of traditional methods with myofascial anatomy and biomechanics.
lastly, when you say when needling the empty space laterally with 7 tigers i would disagree that it is as you say empty space as Dr Frederick Woods a master anatomist who specialised in the anatomy of the forearm and leg described these two area are different to the rest of the body in a way that is much like an insect with muscular attachments to the surface of the exoskeleton. the difference being in humans the exoskeleton is soft rather hard but work in much the same way disregarding the origin and insertion theory that is more evident throughout the ret of the body.
Fantastic presentation. Thank you.

A note on three scholars, i often find ashi points along the distal lung line with disc disease; bulge to prolapse.

I said 'empty space' figuratively, and in relation to the photo that shows the area as empty space.
