Ten Zhao Bao Taichi Theory

First Essential Theory

Unity

In taichi, you do not make any movement by force, but rather by nature.  When you are still, then be still like a mountain.  When you strike, then strike like thunder rumbling or a mountain collapsing.  Move as fast as lightning. When are still, your whole body is relaxed and your mind is not thinking about anything. When you move, your whole body moves together.  All parts of your body move in one direction.

Unity

The body binds all parts together into one, and they cannot be separated.  When your upper body desires to move, the lower body follows; when the lower body desires to move, the upper body leads; when the head and the legs move, the torso follows; and when the torso moves, the head and legs harmonize.  The inside and outside are connected to each other, and the front and back respond to each other. This is what is called the unity of all parts.
