In and out movements come from the elbow; left/right rotations come from the waist/kua; and up and down movements come from the knees. These are the three types of moves and body part locations in Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method.
Also in this video, Master Chen Zhonghua give details on the Magic of 3 of this special system. Everything requires 3 to function but we only have two, such as two hands.
9th
Exercise: open triangle model with head, buttock and knee. Head and knees have to be in the same vertical line, can place on the wall as reference, and only pull the buttock back. The whole back has to be straight like one line of the triangle, mingmen is pulled out. Chest, torso and thigh have to stretch to go over a threshold. Common mistake, sway back, head leaves the line.

Fixed two dots are static power. Add one more dot between the two is dynamic power. As long as you can stretch this third dot against the fixed two dots, you have power, e.g.
Lock the back of the head and the front shoulder, push the bottom of the neck close to the front shoulder out.
The wrist should be stretch on the same line. The ankle should be stretched at the right angle.
Master Chen explained the difference in the following: 开步、合步、跟步、开脚。
Size of the two gears determines the direction of the resulting power.
Dao – Everything exists as it is. There is no right or wrong. The sequence matters. An individual piece is fine as it is. If you disrupt the flow (the sequence), it becomes problematic.
Elbow (in), Kua (rotate), Hand,(out). It is wrong when the sequence is messed up.

By this time, we assume that stretching is achieved by the student. Now what is needed is while stretching, the two ends of the line must have a flat surface and they must parallel each other.

The hand/foot stretch creates the longest line that is useful as taiji power. When doing so, we must lock the middle and create a two-way split from there.

The three counts of the circle. In with elbow, the elbow must lead and the power jerks the hand. Turn with waist, the kua must lead and pulls the elbow sideways. Out with hand, the hand must lead and pull the line all the way to the rear foot.

There can only be one dot on the body that moves. That does leads the rest of the body. The way it does so is like a bullet going forward. Everything else (other body parts) cannot compete with the bullet.

Every move is made up of two body parts. When one part moves, the other part cannot move. The movement of the part comes from the hinge between the two parts.
