How to Move with Intention-The Core Techniques

In Part 2 of Walking with Confidence and Intention, I will look at how to apply intention to different movements by using the Core Techniques. Please watch Part 1, linked below, before watching Part 2. All of our movements when standing on two feet require continuous coordination of the three elements of our core, including our upper and lower abdominal muscles and the muscles that activate our hip joints. If this coordination was random, it would be difficult to move with fluidity, but it is not random. There are a finite number of specific patterns of core movement that we use to perform most all of our activities. This is one of the foundational principles in Taii Chi. There are 8 fundamental energies, and I believe these relate to patterns of core movement that we learn to use subconsciously. If we can learn to use these patterns consciously, we can improve the way we move and reduce the risk of developing incorrect patterns of movement that cause misalignments in the body and add stress to the joints. In The Walking Code, I define these 8 patterns of movement so they can become conscious. In this video, I will review 3 of the 8 patterns of movement, Push, Reach, and Retreat.
