Posture height characteristic of training in tai chi

When a person performs tai chi chuan forms, most postures should meet the following:

1. the entire body moves in an integrated, coordinated way;
2. the whole body keeps in a stable, smooth, and upright way; no obvious ups and downs pusposely; Keep the balance between top and down;
3. the whole body may have slightly ups and downs. The changes are so small that it is not easy to notice for other viewers;
4. try to send the DanTian Qi (from the core of the body) down;
5. relax the waist; sink Qi;
6. the whole body weight sinks to the bottom of the both feet through the bones of supporting legs;
