Zhao
Bao Tai Chi 108 Forms
Zhaobao Taiji Quan consists
of 108 movements. The external
and internal three integrations
are the basic requirements to
practice it. The external three
integrations means that hands
should be integrated with feet,
elbows with knees and waists
with hips. The internal three
integrations refer to the integration
of mind with intention, Qi (internal
energy) with force, and posture
with bones. While practicing,
your hands, feet and body should
cooperate well and move smoothly
so that they can generate the
force as a whole. Each movement
should be performed clearly
and distinctly. Demonstrated
by Wang Haizhou.
Wang Haizhou is now one of the
one-hundred most famous modern
hand form masters and the fifteenth-generation
disciple of Zhaobao-style Taiji
Quan. He is also a consultant
to the Research Institute of
Wudang Quan, the general coach
of Yongnian International Taiji
Quan Institute, and vice president
and general coach of Wengxian
Zhaobao-style Taiji Quan Association.
