So I was wondering if anyone could let me know about the spine not moving, I am under the impression that if your feet do not move(not walking or stepping) then the spine from the bottom of the tail bone up to the top of the head stays in a straight line it. It may elevate through the bending and straightening of the legs, it may rotate through the turning of the waist, but it never ever moves. Is this the correct thought in all cases? Are there exceptions? of course it changes location when one steps but it does not bend? let me know what is what and thanks!!

A 4 videos series explaining the concept of using joint power to generate force.
Using joint power is different then muscle power because using joints keep the body in place. Muscle power often rely on momentum which can be manipulated by opponent.
In addition joint power is additive, so the more the body is open, the greater the output.

August 2016 Taiji China Seminar Tour.
This trip is organised to coincide with Master Chen Zhonghua’s seminar for Chinese and International students. The 7 days seminar will focus on Push Hands applications, but there will be ample opportunity to improve your form and or to learn a Chen style sword form (Straight Sword or Broad sword).
This is a trip for Taiji enthusiasts. You can practice as little or as much as you desire. There will be several Chinese instructors available during the period as well as international instructors who will be attending the seminar. This is not a ‘See China’ tour, but a Taiji training tour.
Assume you have two 1.5hr classes per week (for a total of 3 hrs per week), this trip gives you the opportunity to learn 35 weeks of material. (Based on 105 hours of training over 12 days)

I came across this video while surfing YouTube and was surprised to see that a lot of the concepts talked about are very similar to what I have heard Master Chen discuss, such as:
Don’t push at the contact point but don’t pull away either, use the elbow to pull/rotate around the contact point, use the center to move the body, apply power to the hand but not the arm, don’t engage or push into the opponent’s strength, …
Interested to hear other’s thoughts.
