    Exactly what I was going to say. Either that or bagua's equivalent guard posture.


    Most important tactics/strategy? San ti is for harmonizing the structure of the body and creating a solid foundation in which to generate power through.

    Greetings..

    Postures are okay, but i think i prefer the transitions..

    The most important tactic/stragety.. listening and natural movement.. so much "Taiji" is lost in contrived un-natural body shapes and structural manipulations.. your body already knows its most efficient and effective structures.. now, apply principles to THAT structure..

    Be Well..

    PS: Reverse abdominal breathing.. find a good instructor...

    My favorite stance is sparrow. I think the elbows and fan fingers are real cool. Sometimes I think I like snake, but I don't like snakes, so I don't go for snake stance.

    What do you guys go for?

    I think if I get really good one day, I'll create a horse style based on the movements. Rather than just patting the mane, I think it has really good kicks and sometimes good bites, too. Horses are fast, but they can also move slow, so I don't think it should be wierd.

    I really like this thread, let's keep it going!
    I stand on the Mesa and look down at the vastness of my world and i realize how truly small you all are in it. This has been my greatest enlightenment. None of you are important, and you will never truly be free individuals until you surrender to my instruction.
