It seems all these principles have to do with aligning two complementary properties
(traditionally known as yin-yang):
1. Core & limbs
2. Attention & form
3 & 4 together: Solidity (e..g in the grounding) & Looseness (e.g. in the movement)
5. Upper & lower
6. Expansiveness & Reservedness
7. Health & Martial intent
... etc ...

For those who're not aware yet, the word Taiji (太极）
is indeed about the balanced state from which yin-yang arises or to which it returns. :)
So Taiji Quan is literally the "martial art" that brings the yin & yang together in good balance.

Master Gu's english has progressed amazingly well since George did his first video. Those first year videos following were the best. The singing was heart warming. The stretching was brutal..lol.❤

I will soon up for the free course and compete it, My Pure Father in heaven helps me do all things through Master Issa, The Gate and The sWord of the Spirit

[tinawong]

I just finished Tai Chi the 48 and like all the others I practiced, I remembered and practiced make the shape. Make the shape means like, hold the ball. When you see the shape demonstrated in front of or beside you, you make that shape, and if done correctly you don't overextend or underextend. The mixture of lateral foot work combined with circular hand movements should motivate every Tai Chi disciple to practice at least twice to three times a week.ℹ️💯✅❤️👍👌🙏✝️🗡️🥷☯️😎

[markearnhardt]

I was taught to stop the hand and hip at the same time. also the shoulder should be totally relax so chi can flow through shoulder, elbow, hand.

Does Taoist Tai Chi land heavy?
I have studied Yang and Sun and we land softly and then move the weight.
