Yang Sau ChungTaijiquan unites the body, mind and spirit in a dynamic triad of perfect harmony and balance. This is best exemplified in the unique push hands exercises. Feet firmly planted on earth, the upper body powerful yet fluid and soft at the same time, at once solid and mobile as a mountain stream in motion. Drawing upon the energies of heaven and earth, we engage in the interplay of the cosmic dance of the universal energies of yin and yang. In the dynamic unity of the two we strive for infinity.
