How's your bow stance look?
I recently set up my camera to shoot my stances as I was doing my tai chi form. I know what they feel like, but I had never seen them. Anyway, I was sort of surprised by what I saw. It seems that no matter which direction I going, my yin knee is an inch or two out of alignment with relation to my yin foot on a vertical plane. My kneecap and toe are pointed in the same direction, but the knee is forward in the same direction as the yang toe.
First, I have seen a lot of respected tai chi teachers with the same stance (mostly from 60's video and books), but if I focus on bringing my knee into alignement, I do feel more rooted. But instead of feeling 70/30 weight distribution, I feel closer to 60/40. What gives?
Any comments on your own experience and stances would be appreciated.
:D
One must toughen up without losing one's tenderness.
