Item Descriptions:
Routine II of Chen-style Taiji Quan stresses hardness with softness. While practicing, you should complete with force and in quick succession such movements as stamping, applying your force, dodging away or jumping up. It has the air of monstrous python coming out of cave, fierce tiger rushing down mountain and moves as lion shaking its furs. Its demands are: hand leading, body following, flexible footwork, steady foot, complete force and sufficient spirit. Its main movements are pluck, twist, elbow and lean, accompanied by stroke, squeeze and press, so it fully shows the features of fastness and forcefulness.
