In each posture in a Taijiquan form energy is expressed in different ways. There are eight essential Jins (energy expressions) called the Bamen. Four of those are primary: Peng, Lu, Ji, and An. These have been discussed in the recent classes (see AWBA 188-191). In this video we combine them into short exercise that cycles through them, providing an opportunity to feel each as its own Jin.

We also wrap up the Yang Cheng Fu's 13 Original Postures with Part 14: Cross Hands and Closing.
