Tai Chi 24 Form Demonstration and Step-by- Step Technique

Tai Chi 24 Form Demonstration and Step-by-Step Technique. Opening Posture through High Pat on Horse. Section one is a normal speed demonstration. In section 2 there is a slow motion demonstration with the specific Tai Chi technique pointed out. Each Tai Chi technique uses a specific combination of core movements. There are 8 fundamental energies or techniques which form the foundation of Tai Chi. It is said that every movement in Tai Chi uses one of these techniques, but only a few movements in Tai Chi have ever been described using these techniques because there is no accepted definition of how they relate to accepted body mechanics. In the Tai Chi Code, created by Todd Martin MD, each of the 8 techniques is correlated with a pattern of core movements and every movement in the form defined with these core movements. Each of the core movement techniques will be listed in section two of the video. I name each of the techniques. Below I will give you the core movement patterns that are correlated with each of the techniques.Show more
