Never Have Equal Strength in Your Palms
Taijiquan Quote of the Week
“Never have equal strength in your palms, as this is also a variation of being double-weighted.”
It’s little and simple.
To a normal observer, one’s palms may appear to press (or push) together, but watch close. Notice that one leads the other, arriving slightly ahead of the other.
In my practice of Grasp Bird’s Tail, my right hand presses on the imaginary enemy’s pressure points, just a bit before my left hand. If you were watching really close, you’d see it.
Just a little.
