Tai Chi's Secret Powers:
8 Combat Energies Explained
You may know Tai Chi as containing a long form of techniques, perhaps as many as 108 techniques. But do you know what they are based on? In the English language there are many thousands of words, but they are all based on the 26 letters. Once we mastered these letters in kindergarten, it was only natural that we will then successfully learn the language. And what are the letters of the Tai Chi Alphabet?
In Tai Chi, all techniques are based on the 8 Primary Energies. They are Ward Off (掤), Roll Back (履), Crowding (擠), Pressing (按), Plucking (採), Splitting (列), Elbow (肘), and Leaning On (靠). These eight techniques amazed the Qing royalty and military and earned Tai Chi its place in martial history.
In this video you will learn the Yi (意), the Intention behind how each of these energies function. With the right Yi and the appropriate energetic quality, you will discover a growing awareness of these 8 essential Energies in all of your Tai Chi. And as you do so, you'll have the alphabet of Tai Chi that lets you grow towards Tai Chi mastery, naturally and completely.
When you begin to experience the magic of Tai Chi's essential Energies, how will it affect your practice? How will it improve your well-being?
