A Wee Bit of Alchemy with Rick Barrett #272: Teacup Tai Chi
Self-training Song and Jin can be accelerated by getting feedback from an external source. Ideally, you have a perfect training partner who will give the exact right feedback. Lacking that, however, we can use inanimate objects to provide just enough resistance to let us know when we are engaging extraneous muscular tension. We train Song and Jin by learning to trust the connective tissue system for support and power. "Teacup Tai Chi" uses a light cup to provide some feedback with minimal strain. Holding the handle of the with a bent wrist allows exploration of the body mechanics that are most efficient in producing Song and Jin in Tai Chi. 00:00- 06:18 Discussion: Theory of Teacup Tai Chi 06:18- 23:53 Teacup Tai Chi in various postures 23:53- 40:26 YCF 13 with cups 40:26- 51:33 Q & A Please subscribe to our channel.
