Welcome to the Tai Chi Academy where we share routines and practices related to the Chinese Nei Jia (inner family) arts.
Training concepts in the forms opening movement.
Throughout Taiji there are opportunities to train our body method, to understand what is happening and why. There are also equally as many opportunities to avoid that same training.
Here Coach shows an example of how something as simple as raising and lowering the arms in the forms opening motions can contain keys to the whole of Taiji's movement dynamics.

I can say from both my time as a nightclub doorman, and from engaging in years of combat sport, that the first attack is rarely the fight ender! This doesn't mean that we should abandon the ideal of trying to end the fight as quickly as possible - just that we sho...

The Tai Chi Combat Module is launching 1st June 202...
