Tai chi and breath control
-
Tai chi has many styles (shapes), such as the Yang, Chen and Wu style. Although they differ in the manner of execution and the defense techniques to be used, they all place a strong emphasis on breath control. After all, any tai chi form can be compared to swimming in the air. If the breath does not 'go' with the tai chi movements, and thus keeps stopping, it frustrates the circulation of chi in the body. Hence, proper breathing is just as important as tai chi chuan practice technique. Once the principles of tai chi are observed during the solo practice, the breath will follow naturally and harmoniously.

If the above principles are observed, breathing will harmoniously become part of the tai chi practice, so to speak, merge with it. Once that stage is reached, the breath unconsciously follows every movement and chi is allowed to flow freely through the body.
