in order to stop someone coming through the center, don’t move your elbow in, but simply, direct your stick, intention, forward thought, through your shoulder,elbow then through your wrist, through the stick point, and to their center. this will stop that happening, and maintain a more relaxed shoulder…

If you know Tsum Kiu, it's the angle you are at to the front whenever you bong sau. Really, the turning is just the ideal, but you could just practise moving between the hands whilst facing forwards all the time. It's minimising the shoulder movement that is the key.
