This is the first recording of Wang Kai’s routine practice in this manner. This video showed the second phase of the Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method training. The first phase moves the outside (two hands, two feet and center/head). This is done by locked int inside centerline (with head on top). The first phase makes the movements look open and big. Every part of the body is stretched. The second phase locks the stretched out outside and only moves the inside.

• When going down on the left side and brush the knee, the shape/ structure does not change.
• Going down while retaining our structure creates vertical Peng, which we try to train.
• Keep the structure is not to lose the Peng. Don’t retreat and don’t drop.

– Levels. On level one, we learn the choreography. On level two, we coordinate the moves. On level three, we learn the energy alignment and are able to manipulate.
If you are in level three, all the moves are from the core, the baihui to huiyin vertical line. Everything else is passive, they only adjust. It is the vertical line ties everything together. You can train exaggerating the moves of the torso, without compromising the structure.
– Moves go bigger so all the corners are open.

We continue on the exercise with one knee up and one knee down from last week.
The torso is like a cylinder that goes down in a free-fall fashion. We can hold up the cylinder, and yet we can’t push down the cylinder. The cylinder is pulled down by gravity, something is outside of our body.
In brush the knee the right arm should never move the hand. In with elbow, turn waste without moving hand, then out with the hand.
At our level, the improvement only comes from being bigger.

In today’s class we focused on Six Sealing Four Closing.
Six Sealing and Four Closing
Open the Kua and rotate the torso to push the elbow and drive the arm foward. The elbow need to stay at the top of the Kua and flatened the shoulder. Do not move the knees so the rotation comes from opening the Kua. The movement of the entire arm is like flat to the board and stay inside the rail. The front shoulder need to have a line to the rear foot.
This is the new definition tossing. The movement comes from compression. Large movement compresed to a smaller movement.
Class focused on corrections for foundation move “Six Sealings Four Closures”:
When you toss, your move has even more than the energy can bare. Read more
- After learning the choreography the next step is to reach the extreme. Stance and size must become very big
- We have to learn to lock one place. This will force other parts of the body to continue the move. Restriction is a way to train the entire body Read more
