The 13 Postures is the foundation of Tai Chi Quan. Without the 13 Postures there is neither the Quan (form) nor the push-hands. It consists of the first 8 "postures" - energies and the Five Elements 

(the last 5 postures - steps). 

 

The 13 postures are: 

                           
                                1- Peng -- Ward Off 

                                2 - Lu -- Roll Back 

                                3 - Ji -- Press 

                                4 - An -- Push 

                                5 - Tsai -- Pluck 

                                6 - Lieh -- Split 

                                7 - Zhou -- Elbow 

                                8 - Kao -- Shoulder 

                                9 - Advancing Forward Steps 

                               10 - Retreating Backwards Steps 

                               11 - Stepping to the Left 

                               12 - Stepping to the Right
