Rhythm/Sequence of movements
We need modify our bahaviour to cause a real change.

Front Trick/Rear Trick
- Can’t turn while we hit
- Rotate is designed to reduce power.
- Cover more space to be stronger
Move forward vs rotate
- If we are suppsoed to move forward, then don’t rotate.
- If we are supposed to rotate, then don’t move forward or displace the body.
- Without going forward means that you need to twist yourself.

Daoist Theory
- There is nothing outside of human ability, but we put them together differently, and that’s what makes us unique. If we analyze it, the individual components are the same.
- Music is combining the notes differently in a unique way.
- Think of Lego building blocks. There used to be just a small number of blocks of different sizes. What can be made out of them is only limited by our imagination. We are at the beginning building useful blocks in our taiji, only when we have these basic units, we can start to see what we can do with them.
