Tai Chi Must Be SOFT, and WITHOUT EFFORT
If you have to grit your teeth while moving an opponent- you are not using skill. At least, not internal skill.
Admit it-
Much of what you do could be attributed to brute force.
And while some people are gifted with great strength that stays with them through old age…
Even they will cede to younger, stronger attackers if they do not use skill to overcome strength.
This was the plight of the old Masters, who needed to defend themselves from those in their prime.
This was the start of Tai Chi Chuan.

The strong defeating the weak
and slow hands ceding to swift hands
are all the results of natural abilities
and not of well-trained techniques.
From the sentence “A force of four ounces deflects a thousand pounds”
we know that the technique is not accomplished with strength.
The spectacle of an old person defeating a group of young people,
how can it be due to swiftness?

-Attributed to Wang Tsung-yueh
(18th Century)

But in Being Soft- You Can’t Be Collapsed
While the most common mistake is to use too much force- using too little and collapsing to pressure would be a huge mistake as well.
You must have stability and structure to use and understand Internal Power.
And you must be able to move when met with pressure- and advance when your opponent recedes.
You must not meet force with force.
That does not mean you cannot use force- but rather than your force should be effortless.
And for that- you have to learn to borrow force when it is given, and offset force when it is aimed at you.
You have to understand use of Hua Jin.

You’re Going To Need Instruction
For this, you’re going to need a teacher who understands these skills, and can display them on command.
Anyone can play Tai Chi Master on camera with a willing participant- but you need an instructor who can move unwilling opponents-
And do it with ease.
And even worse- you’re going to have to find one who’s willing to teach you.
For the vast majority of people- that means travelling from home, and searching for some time.
It means wading through politics from those who have it- and dodging charlatans who couldn’t show you if they wanted to.
It’s a lot of work- but I and many others have done it.
And if you’re willing to commit to that, you can, too.

But there is an easier way.

You’re going to need a partner.
One who will keep you honest, and give you the work you need instead of telling you you’ve got it before you do.
And you’re going to need training drills that both of you can work that will not only teach you the skills- but keep you from cheating yourself.
And I can show you everything you need to know to train the skills.
