Practicing Tai Chi is not merely a swing of the arm and the
movement of the feet. There is a reason behind every movement and style that is
made. These concepts paved the way to building every form of Tai Chi. So you
have to pay close attention on the things that are not brought up every once in
a while because even though if things seem so basic, they are indeed important.
Here are 10 of the most important concepts of Tai Chi that
you should never take for granted. Remember these and it will make you
appreciate more the forms that are performed.
Concept #1
Tai Chi is done with emphasis on every movement and the
fashion of every pattern must be in connected with one another. Meaning every
motion made must always start from the spine, going down to the waist, then
moving lower to the legs and the feet, then it is simultaneously going up to
the body then the arms, hands and last, the fingers.
Concept #2
Maintain your shoulders dropped so that any tension will be
eliminated. Shoulders that are always propped are said to have overflowing
tension.
Concept #3
Your wrists must always be straight in order to form a
lady’s hand if you are performing the Cheng form. All points apply to all forms
of Tai Chi but the lady’s hand is basic and a very important trait of the Cheng
form in order to cultivate the energy flowing in the body.
