DQS Taiji 20240411

When we move the arm, there is a dot in the chest that does not move.

Flash the back

  1. there is an arch in the legs
  2. When rotate, don’t push up the shoulders
  3. Left foot and right elbow align
When engage with the opponent, don’t push, treat the contact point as the pivot, move the back downwards. The front kua cannot retreat.

Six Sealing Four Closing Application
  1. The front elbow goes into the hand
Stretch the two dots, one dot between the two middle fingers, and one in the middle of the chest, empty at the elbows (ignore the elbows).

Exercise: Grab opponent's right arm. My right hand on his bisep, my left hand on his right wrist. Stretch my left hand out, when he resists, pull my right elbow to my right kua. Shrink the middle, so he can't get out. 

Opponent has a dot, I have a dot. Need to adjust myself to line up the two dots. Once it is lined up, when the opponent feels it, he will bounce himself out. I don’t do anything. If I do something, it has to be stretch out of the non-moving part.

When pushing hands, find your most comfortable/solid position at the end. You have to start with a slightly awkward position and end with a comfortable position.

When a force goes out, another force has to come to the dantian or to the floor, it has to form a close loop. I am not fighting the other person, I am only doing my movement. He happens to be caught in the way.
