In this video Jet Li gives an overview of the third Tai Chi training level (duan or 段) of the Taiji Zen Online Academy's learning system.
With the Taiji Zen Online Academy, you will learn the complete art of Tai Chi Chuan. Whether you are a beginner or a more advanced Tai Chi student, you will benefit from this program. The videos teach you the core principles of Tai Chi Chuan and the training manuals provide much information on background, theory and in-depth explanations of the movements. Each level (duan or 段) introduces incrementally more complex concepts, principles and partner practices.
In the third duan, we introduce the key principle of 'Relax the Waist, Sink the Hips,' in order to improve your grounding as well as upper/lower body coordination. We also go over the last five of the Thirteen Taijiquan Essenstials, the Five Steps. Together with the eight Kinetic Concepts, they cover all the basics of Tai Chi.
