Every move has two parts to it. One is do get ready and the other is to act. Then we repeat this, like the counting of 1,2, 1, 2, 1, 2.
Students will not be able to distinguish the order of the sequence and do 2, 1, 2, 1.
Because when you don't see the starting point, the rest will not show the order of movements.

Lock one side and move the other
Exercise: Put my forearm on the opponent’s chest. Lock the hand, move the elbow. The elbow needs to move along the line of the upper arm. This is the tangent to the circle. The forearm has a stretch.
Trained power moves using Yilu from first move.
Block Touch Coat: Right hand block
When the person appears to be big and strong, do a bigger circle.
When the person appears to be small and weak, do a smaller circle, more like a direct hit.
We have to train enough to put ourselves in the position of power.

Our body parts must always be inside a restricted area like a bullet is inside a gun barrel. The restrictions set up limitations for the body and for our movements. This will create borders and demarcations. With demarcations yin and yang are delineated.

The most theoretical scenario for taiji is emptiness, void of anything, for example the space between you on the 33rd floor and the ground.
The most deadly scenario for taiji is to impale at the end of the emptiness.

Height is proportional with the stance (distance between the two feet). When the feet are close to each other, you are standing high. When your feet are far apart, you are in a low stance. Any other methods will make you lose proper posture.

We need to pass it on. We can’t worry about who can really do it or not.
Passing it on means the receiver remembers what you said, and can repeat the saying.
Story Telling
We use stories to pass on information.
Plains of Abraham: This battle was won by British army. From here, Britian eventually gain control of North America when French Revolution took place, and France gave up North America.
Wuji is there is nothing within an area. You draw a circle to mark an area. Wuji is having a restriction.
1+4 = 2+3 = 5 + 0 = 1.1 + 3.9 Wuji is saything that the sum needs to be 5.
Taiji is to say from 0 to 5.
To say 10, it’s because there are 5 on each side.
Yi (intent) is based on a real experience. Yi is not plain imagination without real experience.
We want the core to control the movements, so we can see the limbs but not the dantian itself. Training: Kick with heel as an exercise.
