The first look at the basics of the 13 Postures. NOTE:
There was an omission in the description of CENTRAL EQUILIBRIUM. The idea is that the weight is along the vertical axis of the body. So the energy is directed up and down, not forward and back or side to side.
This demonstration of 13 Postures is featured at “Tai Chi Videos for Home Study”(Google “taichi sports officelive” with quotation marks to locate). The website provides video links to Yangjia Michuan Taijiquan teachers and experienced practitioners demonstrating 13 Postures, Duan One, Duan Two, Duan Three, Kunlun Sword, and Tuishou (Push Hands). Links to Yangjia Michuan Taijiquan organizations are also listed if you want to find a teacher or just learn more about this form of tai chi.
