Tai Chi Practice I

In my personal experience, to gain true tai ji feeling, each time before practicing forms, I always stand still for a little while ("Zhan Zhuang", 3 to 5 minutes) -- "Wu Ji Zhuang" and "Hun Yuan Zhuang" in a slightly curved standing position with the body weight evenly distributed between both feet. Actually, to get the balanced body position is not easy. After a number of months' standing, I improved my tai ji forms a lot. I still keep this habit every day before I practice forms. "Zhan Zhuang" is the door to enter Tai Ji World.

To tell the quality in tai ji postures, observe the following: the lower part (legs and feet) should be sunk, waist and limb should be relaxed, round and open, the top part (chest and head) is suspended, and top and bottom parts are well connected and rotated through the waist.
