Today's article was inspired by an old student who hit the wall

After 4 hours of special training class, there are 2 questions about the steaming time.

Q1: Senior, you often say that steaming30 seconds, after all, is it counted from the beginning of water supply or after water supply?

Q2: If it starts after giving, why is the result of my steaming so bitter?

Today's senior will answer Q1 first

Senpai, all the videos, open-box texts, demonstrations, the number of seconds of steaming, are all calculated after giving water.

Senior students usually steam 30-40 ml of water, which takes about 10-15 seconds.

So if you press the timer before steaming the water

Steaming for 30 seconds, my timer will show

15 seconds of water supply +30 seconds of steam =45 seconds, followed by the next stage of water injection

Water supply time is water supply time, steaming time is steaming time, the two are not related

Senior said the steaming time is 30 seconds

does not include a 10-second watering period.

And what's confusing is

Some genres are defined as follows: Steaming time should include watering time

So technically it's still 30 seconds, but it actually becomes

Water supply 15 seconds + steam 15 seconds =30 seconds

There is a 15-second difference between the number of seconds used by the senior and the number of seconds used by the senior, which causes confusion between the two.

A demonstration of water supply

Total 30 seconds including water supply, which makes a difference

But of course, there's no right or wrong.

After all, there is no real definition of steaming, so it is even more impossible to ask everyone to have the same standard.

So in the process of learning hand punch, we need to refer to movies or data

Don't forget to observe whether the steaming time starts from the beginning of the water supply or the end of the water supply

And adjust it to your usual steaming time

Otherwise, it would take twice as long to come and go, and it wouldn't be surprising if you'd run out of demons and monsters.

Here is a summary of what the senior did for Q1:

Most of the steaming time starts from the end of the water supply. Senior also suggested that everyone use this definition as the standard for sharing.

However, there are some schools that start from the water supply. At this time, you can subtract the water supply time to calculate the actual steaming time.
