Taijiquan Core Principles at Three Levels

Workshops presented in english

Taijiquan Core Principles are descriptions of the essential criteria for taijiquan practice based on natural laws governing human structure, movement, and function. They are trainable concepts meant to be integrated into any and all taijiquan solo and partner practices.

In this workshop we will look at how the core-principles deepen as our taiji improves. Lots of leg work! 

Plus! A Friday-evening event

Stance Proportion

Skill and understanding in the area of stance and stepping will help ensure good results in one's taijiquan training. More than a quarter of the text in the Taijiquan Classic makes clear reference to the importance of the legs:   

          If correct timing and position are not achieved, the body will become disordered and will not move as an integrated whole. The correction for this defect must be sought in the legs and waist.
