Practice Recommendations


Hand Forms Practice

Dedicate time to practice each hand shape separately - palm, fist, hook, and clamping hand - to develop proper form and energy flow.


Stance Training

Build strength and stability by holding each stance (horse, bow, empty, crouch) for increasing durations before incorporating movement.


Silk Reeling Drills

Practice silk reeling exercises daily to develop the spiral energy that characterizes Chen-style Tai Chi.
