Classical Tai Chi Small Circle Form Instruction Part II

In Part 1, you have learned the Square Form from Form 1 to Form 32. And, you have begun to integrate the distinctive square movements to the continuous round movements. Notice that the choreographic movements in the Round Form are continuous with no distinctive starting and ending points. This is also reflected in your internal movements. Your core muscle movements are more subdued, not as pronounced as in the Square Form.

You need to know that these lessons teach internal discipline only on those more prominent moves in the Form. Once you get a good feel about how to use the internal discipline in your movements, you should extend that to all moves in the Round Form on your own, including those small transitional moves.

You should sense the internal energy in your body when you make an internal move. My previous students all told me that they felt a pleasant sensation come with the internal energy flow in the body. In fact some said that these pleasant sensations were the reason that they want to learn and practice the Form.

When you are able to move with a smooth flow, and to have the ability of maintaining internal discipline on every move during practice the Round Form without break, then your internal energy and Qi will circulate in your body continuously. This is the ultimate goal of practicing the Small Frame Round Form. You will have the tool to live forever in the spring season of your life.
