The eight gates and five steps are the foundation of Taiji Quan
The eight gates: Peng, Lü, Ji, An, Cai Lie Zhou, Kao 掤,捋,擠,按,採,捩,肘,靠-
and the five steps: 進,退,顧,盼,定, are the basic components of Taiji Quan.
Every movement should be an expression and transformation of these energies.
Without them, Taiji Quan is merely empty form.
In this class we will explore these fundamental energies. How they are expressed in Chansi Gong,
Taiji Quan forms and their practical application.
The Nei Dan Shi San Shi 內丹十三式 is an elegant form that combines practice of thirteen energies with internal cultivation.
