Beginners seldom express wardoff internally. 
Most students manifest the physical shape of wardoff without the internal energetic quality that makes it a jing.
Common misconceptions:
stiff block 
- fundamental error in perception
  
immovable
- yielding is paramount. Without it, there is no tai chi
- strength vs strength is not tai chi 
  
tension used rather than connection/groundpath
- beginners-level error 
  
rigid legs, only turning hips
- external attitude
- stance too low 
  
not using bow stance
- posture lacks 5 bows 
  
use of arms and shoulders
- unite upper & lower timing sequence lacking
- wardoff is not being produced by spiralling & rippling
- power must rise up from the ground
