Abstract

Thoughtful investigation of the practices and writings of the past masters of taijiquan reveals that success in the art is contingent on correct understanding and employment of the hips and the waist by the taijiquan practitioner. Respect for their efforts demands a thorough exploration of the subject. This essay addresses ways in which the hips and the waist have been traditionally understood and provides contemporary taijiquan practitioners with a practicable understanding of the subject.
