Understand what it is to be loose and pliant, light and quiet, balanced and neutral . The basis must be looseness and pliancy - loose but not slack, stretched but not stiff. A little more looseness means a little less stiffness; a little less stiffness means a little more internal power.
Every joint of the body must be stretched, open on every plane. The fascia must be lengthened. Although extremely soft the strength contained within exhibit the characteristic co-existence of softness and power, simplicity and complexity. It cannot be defined by its softness, nor can it be defined by its power. Softness and power combine seamlessly, a perfect fusion. This is Taijiquan.
