The Eight Energies of Taijiquan

Form & Application 

Master Sam Masich

​

​A deep dive into the core of taijiquan. The 'Eight Barehand Energies'—‘ward’ (peng 掤), ‘roll’ (lü 履), ‘squeeze’ (ji 擠), ‘press’ (an 按), ‘pluck’ (cai 採), ‘rend’ (lie 挒), ‘elbow’ (zhou 肘), and ‘lean’ (kao 靠)—can be understood to express the relationship between the eight-trigrams—‘heaven’ (qian ☰), ‘earth’ (kun ☷), ‘water’ (kan ☵), ‘fire’ (li ☲), ‘wind’ (xun ☴), ‘thunder’ (zhen ☳), ‘lake’ (dui ☱), and ‘mountain’ (gen ☶).​

​

In this event we will explore the MIAM approach eight energies using traditional taijiquan form, push-hands, and application, as well as the MIAM work to bring new life into ancient methods.
