   Yang Cheng-Fu"s 10 Key 

     Principles of Taijiquan

 

Vitality of Spirit Leads to the Top of the Head

Arc your Chest and Round your Back

Loosen your Waist and Hips

Distinguish Substantial and Insubstantial

Sink the Shoulders and Drop the Elbows

Use your Yi not your Li

Upper and Lower Body follow each other

Harmonize your Mind and Body

Continuity without Breaks

Look for the Tranquil in Motion
