The Lower Arch

May 01, 2021 by CHEN TAI CHI ACADEMY

Much of the taiji movements involve a shifting of weight, sinking and turning. Ultimately these movements have a circularity.

For the lower arch (as in Jin Gong Dao Dui) the body sinks and then moves forward without making a circle. The lower arch has a movement that feels like a swing.
