Rotate Like Wheel Axis is the original concept that describes the rotation used in taijiquan. It is imperative that this analogy not changed to something else. The continued and deepened understanding of this technical principle will bring about real understanding of taiji.

[singlepic id=2991 w=200 h=150 float=left] As usual, lots of hand on teaching, the best way to learn taiji.
Master Chen corrected a few of my postures mistake. For me, that’s enough pointer of what I should be working on until I meet him again on the mountain in two weeks.
Fixed Hand. Having the hand fixed in relation to the wrist is one of the most important technical principles of Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method system. Only when the hand is relatively fixed, all other actions will start.
