Why Some Tai Chi Folks Lose Their Balance Immediately
I see it all the time. Some Tai Chi person, often someone who is called a "master," begins their form and loses their balance at the very beginning of the form.
As you know, Tai Chi is all about maintaining your mental and physical balance at all times.
We practice the movements and the intricate body mechanics to learn how to maintain our balance and our "center."
Watch this video and, if you do Tai Chi, check yourself in a mirror or on video to see if you have kinky hips at the beginning of the form.
This is the kind of lesson you learn on this website when you become a member. These seemingly small details help you create the ability to have a stronger root and to develop the relaxed power that makes Tai Chi Chuan a strong martial art.
