Most people think Taiji is for old people… waving their hands in the air in the park. 👋🏼👋🏼 🌳
Chen Taijiquan is a complete movement system for body and mind. By carefully studying body posture, structure & alignment, overtime we develop balance, calmness & power.
External shape and internal mechanics give rise to a frame. The Chinese word is Jia.
Like a house built from solid foundations 🏠.
The legs and waist (or centre/dantian) are the powerhouse. The rules are strict, the principles of practice are unchanging from beginner to Master level.
Progress is mostly incremental 🐢 and requires dedicated practice.
Having a world class teacher to show you the way🚦helps establish solid fundamentals and in avoiding pitfalls & wasted time. ⏳
Even with such guidance the student still must climb the mountain themselves step by step.
What a journey! ✨
