Some motto of Master Zhang Zuyao (Chang Dsu Yao) on the Taijiquan practice

1 – Important points for the practice of Taijiquan: 2 – low soft shoulder and closed elbows 3 – keep the spine not contracted and back straight 4 – hips and also relax 5 – Low Qi concentrated in the Cinnabar Field 6 – hand, eyes, body, technique, position must all come together 7 – straight, not curved body 8 – thought and qi together

The following are important rules for practicing Taijiquan:
by fixing (the techniques) in the mind one obtains a unitary and complete knowledge
practicing with the body, the reactions become natural
