An expert must work through 3 dan belts with the aim of internalising their tai chi.
These difficult grades
require an immense amount of practice, culminating in the student passing the 10,000
hours of practice threshold.
Only after 10,000 hours can the student
potentially lay claim to being an 'expert'.
Again, there are no
shortcuts.
Now, the body should be integrated, flowing, and be moving in
accord with the internal principles at all times.
