The Eight Energies of Taijiquan - The 81st Edition of the Internal Fighting Arts Podcast
In the latest edition of the Internal Fighting Arts podcast, I give my take on the "Eight Energies of Taijiquan." Last week, I put an 8-part video series on YouTube -- one video for each "energy" -- scroll down a post or two and you'll find a link to the videos.
I wanted to talk about this on the podcast, but it feels strange that I don't have a guest for the first time on the program. If you would like to listen, here is the link:

If you enjoy the podcast and know other Taiji folks who would like to listen, please share it.
The "energies" are not mystical. They are physical skills developed and refined over time. I hope this podcast helps bring some light to what is too often shrouded in abstract wording and semi-mystical, metaphorical language.
