Stretch is everywhere in Taiji movements. It is a key action in the creation of a yin yang split. In this video, Master Chen Zhonghua explains how to stretch to create the figure 8 movement in the kua.
One circle is the foundation. Two circles interacting is the beginning of function. This is seen on the surface as a figure 8 type of movement. It is in fact the first set of gears.
Master Chen Zhonghua explains where the 8 figure actions are on the body, as well as how to do it.
There are lots of explanations and key points in this video.

In this video Master Chen Zhonghua explains very precisely the goal and key linkages for properly executing the “kua” movements in the “Figure 8” drill. Beginners will be able to follow and carry out the drill accurately right away. For the intermediate, and even the advanced practitioners, this video can help you gain an accurate and deeper understanding of the fundamental actions of stretching, placement, and alignment of sticks and joints in the body, hinged on a triangular structure in 3D space. That is, while it is often said that the building blocks for Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method are the positive and negative circles, the truth is that one has to actualize the circles with real actions of the bones and soft tissues of the human body. This video shows exactly how.
