See a very good post in the archives Chapter 12 "12-5-0 The Basic Motion Curriculum"
From this, per Yoda:
"As stated in 12-5-0, the items in each of the Three Stages are meant to be
interpreted per the Stroke Patterns of 12-1-0 (Hitting) and 12-2-0
(Swinging). In other words, if you are learning to Hit, then the Right
Arm becomes active, and Pressure Point #1 becomes its Direct Drive. If you
are learning to Swing, then the Left Arm becomes Active, and
Pressure Point #4 becomes the Direct
Drive. "
I wouldn't be afraid of feeling a lot of activity in the hands, hit or swing, basic motion or full stroke. Positions of the hands may be frozen, but you are very, very busy actively sensing pressure.
