Tai Chi Ruler

The Tai Chi Ruler form is a gentle, methodical movement system based in the ancient philosophy of Taoism. The system is practiced with a wooden dowel or 'ruler' placed between the palms. Regular practice cultivates; deep mental focus, controlled flowing movement, rhythmic breathing and ease of mind.
Tai Chi Ruler can be practiced without a traditional dowel. Any light-weight, smooth-ended object, roughly 10-12" long will suffice.

Thank you kindly Karen. I'm so pleased you like the series. I learned a variation many years ago from my mentor (now long passed) and have continually found a depth of presence while engaged in the movement.

I read that the ruler shape is also based on the handle of the Chinese sword. Nice video!

[@wendyktucker.awen-arts]

Yes. I've seen some beautifully crafted renditions of the sword hilt. A nice artful opportunity for those with a lathe...

HEllo from Spain. I would like to know if that exercises are based on taoist master Zhao Zhongdao?

Hello and thank you for reaching out. This particular series is based on Terry Dunn's resurrection of Chen Tuan's Tai Chi Ruler system--with a few other Ruler postures added.
