Tai Chi and the Lower Tantien

- Go Beyond the Ordinary

 

 

Energy Arts

 

Wu Style Tai Chi Lineage Holder Bruce Frantzis talks briefly about the lower tantien and some of its functions and training methods. The lower tantien is the energetic center of your lower body. If you increase the energy in your lower tantien, you increase your sense of physicality and everything to do with it - health, power, strength, focus...

Unlock Your Kua: 

The Key to Better Mobility in Tai Chi

 

Aiping Tai Chi

 

Learn how to improve your Tai Chi movements by opening up your "kua," the area where your leg joins with your pelvis. Discover the critical role the kua plays in mobility, knee health, and alignment in Tai Chi. By strengthening your glutes, core, and keeping your knee aligned, you can move like a ball, rotate effortlessly, and reduce the risk of knee damage. Improve your Tai Chi experience and achieve better mobility by focusing on keeping the kua open and your knees properly aligned.
