Tai chi principles: the correct internal principles of Tai Chi
Description
Qi (2020), Chia, Kellen.
Abstract
All Tai Chi (Taijiquan) movements are circular and spiraling; the circularity of Tai Chi corresponds with the structure of the human body, and allows unbroken continuous movements; the spiraling of Tai Chi works in perfect consonance with all of the body’s systems because the Chi is spiraling around the body. Outwardly these movements propagate centripetal and centrifugal power which arises from the turning of the waist from side to side. The power spawned flows through the body causing the wrists and hands to spiral inwards (yin) and outwards (yang). This in effect stimulates massive energy into the hands, and the fingers feel the sensation of fullness.
