Taijiquan Fundamental Training: Part 3

It teaches the practitioner how to issue power from the 8 gates of tai chi, the four cardinal directions of the circle and four corners of the square of the tai chi form. Generally this is referred to as peng jin training. Peng is also used to describe an internal spring like quality of taiji, and this title deals with jin or power issuing training of all eight gates not just peng or ward off. These drills isolate each of the eight jins for practicing. In addition to self defense, these exercises are very useful for push hand practice.  Retail Price: $ 49.95
