Chi Symbol Tracing Hands &
Application
The
Tai Chi diagram is the foundation
upon which Tai Chi was born.
Many people take it as only a
symbol or philosophy, unaware of
Tai Chi's principles and secret application methods
are hidden within the symbol's curved
lines. In 1963, Professor
Shen Jiazhen and Gu Liuxin
(students of Chen Fake) published a book called Chen
Style Tai Chi Quan, which
revealed hand positions traced
over the Tai Chi diagram.
Master Tsao provides traditional
understanding on the art of
tracing hands energy flow, circle
size, speed, breathing, as well as Tai Chi's eight
application methods in push hands:
peng, lu, ji an, cai, lie, zhou,
kao. Detailed

with a front and back view
