As your left foot becomes "empty", step to the left with your left foot, keep your weight on the right foot. It should be as it your left foot stepped to ...
North Unlike in Tai Chi 24 Form, in Tai Chi 108 Formwe may turn on the "loaded" foot. To comply with the Tai Chi rules, we need to make this foot empty WITHOUT physically moving our body towards the other foot. It may seem impossible, but is, as the matter of fact, simple. As your weight is on your "loaded" foot, move your attention up, from the fo...
East Initial position: left din bu, hands in the "holding a ball" position, facing East. This form is one of the most important in Tai Chi, as it includes most of its basic principles.

As your hands go down, the thumbs should point down. Turn palms fingers up and bring hands up in front of your body. In the final position, fingers of the left hand should...
West Transition from the previous form Turn left (West) on your loaded right foot. Your hands should remain in the same position as at the end of the previous form (relative to the shoulders). As you turn, bring your back in the vertical position. Hands will go up with the shoulders. This can be considered as a martial technique, you may notice, th...
West After the "white crane", do the transition form. In this form the right hand moves inside (towards the central line), its palm turning towards the face (it is a blocking technique). The final position of this transition form is as follows: body is turned 45 degrees left, left hand pointing left and forward (more forward than left) at the shoul...
West Initial position: same as the final position of "brush knee" above. You are in the left goon boo, left hand is above the left knee and a bit outside, it have just blocked the opponent punch in the stomach and pushed the attacker's hand to the outside. The right hand is forward, touching the middle dan tjan of an opponent. From this position, s...
West, 3 times After the "lute", turn your hips 45 degrees right. As you do it, pull your front (left) foot to the din boo position. In the same time, the right hand goes "to the side" (it seems that it does, due to the body turn. In reality, it is still almost perpendicullar to the shoulders). The left hand ends up pointing to the right elbow. This...
