Tai Chi Gesture Features: Moderate, Flat and Gentle
“Being Moderate, flat and gentle” is the way of standardizing the gestures, movement speed and intensity when play Tai Chi.
(a) Moderate, flat and gentle postures:
When practicing Tai Chi, it is required to maintain a situation of “neutralization” of the postures with a parallel move of barycenter. This technique requires that when the practioner moves his body, he should always be in a position of a straight crotches, flat shoulders, straight legs and flat feet, which is also bending feature of a stable barycenter in playing Tai Chi. Even it is a crouch stance, the practioner must first maintain a flat gesture, then lower his barycenter to a certain height and move it in a parallel way to finish his movement of bending down. Independent movements require transformation of the practioner’s barycenter to the center of his supporting area, and then straight up lifting his knees while keep his body flat.
(b) Moderate, flat and gentle speed of movements
The speed of practising Tai Chi should be neither fast nor slow; instead, it should be gentle by aiming at achieving “neutralization”. Only gentle and well-balanced movements can guide the practioner to adjust his action consciously and coordinate his actions by the lead of slow, even, slight and long abdomen breathing.
(c) Moderate, flat and gentle exercise intensity
When practicing Tai Chi, the practioner should practice with an adequate amount of exercises suited to his own physical conditions. The amount of exercises should be restricted to the scope of effectively stimulating his body while not surpass his endurance.
