Shoulder is the first degree of looseness. Everyone is familiar with sinking shoulders and elbows, but there is another saying behind them: (sinking shoulders and elbows) Lift your wrists, sit on your wrists and stand with your palms. Why? Because the palm is the export of upper body strength, if the shoulders are not loose, the strength will not come out, so it will be stiff. Generally, in order to cover up this deficiency, it becomes Tai Chi Chuan, slow and overbearing. This is wrong. Tai Ji Chuan should be slow and fast

Tai Ji Chuan's basic requirement for upper limb movements is to sink shoulders and elbows. To do this, its essence lies in the flabby abduction of the scapula, that is to say, as long as the scapula sinks and abducts, it will naturally sink its shoulders and elbows. The basic movements of scapula are lifting, sinking, adduction and abduction. The so-called force to the back actually means that when the muscles of the waist and legs exert force, the force propagates along the spine, reaches the scapula, and is transmitted to the arms and hands through the support and conduction of the scapula (the scapula is in a sinking and abduction state). The arm is required to arrive before the force is exerted. The so-called "micro-knot" is the root knot reminder.

"Loose your shoulders", but don't ask or think too much about the "shoulders". Remember the main point of "loose" and stand up first. Loose shoulders involve too many elements, and the more you don't understand, the more confused you become. In fact, the muscles consumed are boring and the tendons are stretched out. As soon as you stretch your muscles, you will understand without others saying. If you can put your shoulders down, your hands will sink, which is a standard. Use the heavy strength of your hands to further relax your shoulders and slowly stretch the tendons in your neck and back. Only in this way can strength sink along the spine, and then waist training can be talked about.
