The pelvis moves in the direction of the weighted leg. The hip kwa does most of the work. Keep the pelvis heavy and let the muscles of your waist and legs move the body.
Many students sink deep into the knees instead of the hips - this is how you can damage the knees. If your knees hurt during tai chi practice, look to the pelvis first.
Loose hips, relaxed lower back and ankles will allow the knee to move comfortably.
