Taiji Basics

Master essential Tai Chi movements and build a solid foundation in internal martial arts. This course teaches fundamental techniques including Cloud Hands (Yún Shǒu 云手), Brush Knee Twist Step (Lōu Xī Ào Bù 搂膝拗步), Parting the Wild Horse's Mane (Yě Mǎ Fēn Zōng 野马分鬃), and other core Tai Chi forms. Learn proper body mechanics, weight shifting, and coordinated spiral movement that form the basis of all Tai Chi practice


These foundational movements develop whole-body connection, internal power (nèi jìn 内劲), and fluid transitions essential for authentic internal martial arts. Each technique trains specific principles: Cloud Hands develops continuous silk-reeling and waist rotation, Brush Knee teaches advancing steps with coordinated hand movements, and Parting Horse's Mane builds lateral stepping and opening/closing mechanics. Perfect for beginners learning Tai Chi fundamentals or practitioners refining their basic techniques. Step-by-step instruction breaks down each movement's structure, application, and common mistakes. Build the correct mechanics and body awareness needed to progress in Tai Chi, Qigong, and Wudang internal arts. Practice these movements slowly to develop genuine internal connection and proper alignment that remains effective at any speed.
