The Tai Chi Healthways Discussion Board

Hi guys...

Well, after of practice 2 weeks very hard, I take 3 pictures of me in 3 different postures of taiji : the kick with the right heel, the horse stance and the snake creeps down. The picture of the white lotus is the symbol of my Martial Arts School .
If you see a mistake, please say to me




And the last one and my favorite picture: snake creeps down by me jejeje



¡Thank's a lot!

Josué.

Hi Josué.

If the second posture from Chen style (which you refer as "mabu") it's incorrect


In the last one, you shouldn't twist you knee inside

Jejeje, hello

Andrey, thank's for the corrections, I think I have to do some corrections, may be I don't put the enough atenttion in class of this Style but... my teacher do this posture like this and I see masters like Zang Zhi Guo do it like that ... well, I gotta to work in it . ¿What's is the mean of "you shouldn't twist you knee inside"... I'm sorry but my English is very bad .

Thank's for the help

Josué, in the second photo your position is not correct because your weight is in the middle, just between your feet. The weight must always be 70% on one leg 30 % on the other one. So you can change the direction easily. If your weight is in the middle, you have first to put the weight on one leg and then change the direction.

Oh, I understand now, thank's a lot María .

Read you later .

Josué

Generally speaking your knee suppose to have a "peng jing" meaning they shouldn't be locked (straighten up totally) or twisted inward (angle between your knee and foot)
