The circle, simply put, is the basis of every move in the Taijiquan Practical Method system. Every action or movement in the form is actually a part or variation of either the negative or positive circle. Therefore, common sense would suggest that one must gain a deep understanding of the circle and its mechanics in order to have any kind of understanding of Taijiquan and its practical applications. 更多
Quality and quantity are two issues that come up a lot during training and seem to be the cause of some debate amongst practitioners. Generally most people have strong opinions about these two ideals and normally have specific training habits which clearly show which catergory they fall into. 更多

高水平的学生最后会意识到劲是不能来自肌肉的。不是肌肉来的，那么那些以往的名师们的无法形容的劲、柔性和速度是哪里来的？我相信答案在那些连接骨骼和肌肉的筋腱。尽管大多数人都认为太极拳的力是来自“气”，但是这是理解太极拳的内劲的不实际也是很误导的一种解释。

螺旋劲有其特性，使之在太极拳训练中占有数席重要因素。
