Abstract
There are two types of students that come to Taiji (T’ai Chi) classes, those that are too soft and those that are too hard. Most students don’t realize that neither one is ideal. Few students are aware that Taiji is based on the concept of yin and yang, which means the balance of hard and soft. Both are necessary in doing Taiji. In face there are times in the form when we need to be soft and times to be hard, and times to be a combo of both. It has been written and said that Taiji is like an “iron bar wrapped in cotton.”
