Tai chi form is not yoga; it does not involve fixed postures. The so-called ‘postures’ serve to shape movement so that it can be used constructively in combat.
Every physical action you perform in life involves connecting and aligning your body such that the movement can produce an effect. Pressing a light switch requires accuracy, balance and the correct degree of pressure.
Tai chi is the same.
If the postures are too static or inflexible, your ability to shape movement will be impaired. Movement must pass through your body.
