No matter how strong you are, you can't fight a circle. A circle has no beginning and no end, so where (ie what part) do you apply force? As long as everything moves like a circle you have no where to push or pull.
This is different than just being "relaxed." My muscles can be relaxed but I can still be stiff around the joints so that my joints lose their ability to rotate in circles.
Most people cannot move ALL of there joints in a continous circle at the same time....its like juggling many hoolahoops at one time..... therefore, their body mechanics are "broken" and they can't apply real Taiji skill....the one that has no beginning and no end.
When all the "balls" (no not those ones!) of the body can rotate and they can be coordinated then you have a continuous circle made of many circles. This is part of what we call Taiji jin.
