Exercise
- Heavy head tied to the ground
- Push the kua out to extend to the line between the head and the ground
Six Sealing Four Closing
- Need to make sure the kua shoot towards the hand while the torso rotates, otherwise the hand is too light.
- Need to do 40% of movement with the front kua, and 60% of movement with the rear kua.
- We need to produce a stop (which is the switch between 40% and 60%).

This is my video as requested by Kelvin for his sword class. First thing I notice is that I need more practice!
TAI
CHI ELEGANCE
CHI ELEGANCE
There’s always a highpoint for me in each of Master
Chen’s Zoom classes. On Feb. 24th
that moment was when he said that our tai chi should be “elegant.” The class started at 6:30 in the morning,
about two hours earlier than I usually get up.
I was not feeling elegant.
Chen’s Zoom classes. On Feb. 24th
that moment was when he said that our tai chi should be “elegant.” The class started at 6:30 in the morning,
about two hours earlier than I usually get up.
I was not feeling elegant.
Shortly afterward, I took a video of my yilu. It was embarrassing, definitely “inelegant.” So, now I’m figuring out what elements made it
look that way. The most obvious thing
was that I was always looking down to check on my movements. When I look down I
lean forward, which makes me wobble and toss.
I have to get good enough that I
can trust my body to do its job without my checking on it all the time. I think learning tai chi is much like
learning how to drive—when you first start you look down at the steering wheel
and the pedals. You quickly learn how to
operate them and then lift your gaze to look out the windshield to see where
you want to go and how to get there. You
don’t have to look down at your hands on the wheel and your feet on the pedals
anymore. You trust your body to do what you’ve trained it to do.

anymore. You trust your body to do what you’ve trained it to do.
Another problem was focus. I have to be doing tai chi, not thinking
about lunch or the rest of my day, not watching myself in the mirror or listening
to music. This is not the time to be
multitasking and yet that is what my mind insists on doing. Somehow I have to be alert and not distracted
by anything. Focusing on the imaginary
opponent in front of me helps.

I figure I’m not really ready for elegance. I’m still at the stage where I have to focus
on each individual movement to make sure all the tai chi principles are in
them. Perhaps someday I’ll be able to
stand tall and look ahead without having to chaperone my body, but I’m not
there yet.

Mission: Preparing for Yilu Challenge (Nov-Dec 2021)
The last move we worked on in today’s lesson was the second move in Jin Gang Dao Zhui (Buddha’s Warrior Attendant Pounds Mortar), when the dantien turns right, left elbow comes in on a positive circle and the right hand goes out in a negative circle. The arm (hand) is out of control and the dantien is in control. This means the hand is expressed yet is passively powered by the dantien.
Fajin with Six Sealing Four Closing
- Don’t move the hand
- The movements are indirect.
- Move front kua, lock rear kua
- Front kua splits the two hands. Only allow the front hand to move forward.
- Inside must move more than outside.
- Use bie to create the power
3 Gears – System of Levers – Minimum requirement to be useful
Grandmaster Hong said ji is the most important.
Following the opponent means to do so without allowing the opponent to go back.
Stand on one foot for make that side not moving.
Bo 拨 – To prevent something from reaching its destination There is a different name for a specific action
Exercise 1:
Rubber between the hand and the foot. Bend down first. Lock the upper body. Push the kua forward towards the rubber. The focus of this exercise is to train the kua, the use of power in the kua to extend the rubber. This is converting a horizontal movement to a vertical one. We want to train a great range of kua movement. Gradually, increase the tension of the rubber.
The above exercise trains a vertical movement. This is a precursor to the movement needed to do Six Sealing Four Closing. Read more
Rubber Cord Training for Kua
Lock head, shoulder and elbow into one piece. Make sure the elbow is being pushed into the palm.
Have rubber cord under lead foot and in lead hand.
Get into position (see picture). The upper body (waist up) and lower body (below waist) are solid like 2 separate pieces of wood.
Shove front kua forward into the elbow that goes into the hand holding the rubber cord. This action from the kua makes the back straighten.
The strength of the rubber cord has to be more than you can handle. Make the tension “real” and size of cord needs to be just right that the power is coming from the kua and not other body parts.
Today’s exercise is to practice 别开. Get stuck with the opponent at the top, use the kua to rotate the waist. The energy through the middle of the chest must get to the hand.
Set up my hands on something that is totally locked.
标准 is 认可。
Yilu is the first standard when we first learn taiji.
He talked about the story of the storyteller from the native people.
The story words went with the rhythm of music. If they are wrong, they can’t continue.
Form and Applications were separate before.
2nd Cloud Hand – 衬 – To bring out/support the main thing
3rd Cloud Hand – 盖 – To cover
