Once a student is capable of performing all 70 basic applications, they must
turn their attention to the forms.
Not only can countless shuai jiao and chin na applications be found in the
forms, but jing expressions also.
The student must study every movement and develop at least 7 applications per
posture.
These must adhere strictly to the tai chi principles.
The 70 beginners applications attune the brain to see
possibilities within movements, relationships, positioning and angles.
Instead of moving through a lifeless dance, the student finds form to be alive
with opportunity.
Every movement and nuance offers new ideas for the
creative mind.
