Why we Spiral in Tai Chi: Connecting to the Fascia of your opponent in Tai Chi Applications

In this video Susan demonstrates why we constantly spiral in Tai Chi and how that spiral helps us to connect to a person's fascia in Tai Chi applications. Susan uses a Tai Chi and Qigong form called the Lotus to show different ways to issue power through your push hands opponent. She teaches you how to spread the force to dissipate it, then direct the force through your elbow, and then to Song, the Chinese word to relax and expand, to move the person. After this, she demonstrates how adding the connection the fascia builds even more effortless ability to move your partner.

You can practice with a willing and cooperative push hands partner first. Then as you gain confidence and skills, you can ask your push hands partner to resist you more. Go gentle at first!

**please forgive my Chinese word pronunciations**.
