I’m still at the “slow” phase.
Edwin started learning the yilu in Oct 2011.
It seems to me that most people are not aware of the spiraling that should occur throughout the body while doing Taijiquan. Even though most people must have seen the ancient diagrams of a body coiled in lines representing the spiraling paths of the silk reeling energy (chansijin) characteristic of Chen style Taijiquan, very few people seem to be able to explain or even understand what this principle actually is. Obviously, it is not only important to know how to create spiraling throughout the body, but also to understand why spiraling and the unique energy it creates is so important to the art.
The only difference between the master and student is that the student learns publicly and the master learns privately.

“To withdraw is to issue” is a taiji concept. To train the body to utilize levers is a method to incorporate this concept into taiji practice. In Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method system, Hong Junsheng’s aphorism “Hand out elbow in” (In with elbow without the hand; out with hand without the elbow) is the realization of this concept on the upper body; while “Sink down to grind out” is the realization of the same concept on the lower body.
