Xie Xing-Diagonal Posture

April 02, 2019 by CHEN TAI CHI ACADEMY

In Xie Xing, the Diagonal Posture, the knees and elbows are rounded. The knees neither stick out nor fold in. The rounded knees and elbows hold energy together. The ears are aligned with the shoulders. The bottom is dropped., The kwa is loose. Stretching at the joints opens the joints. The right heel pushes the weight 80% to the front. Even so the bottom drops down.
