Taijiquan 13 Steps Tutorial Episode 1
Every Journey starts with a first step. Learn Taijiquan 13 Steps systematically with our tutorial.
Here is the first video tutorial of our video series teaching the 13 fundamental postures of Taijiquan. Each video includes:
- Clear verbal instruction and demonstration
- Step-by-step movement breakdowns
- Multiple camera angles showing proper form
- Practice tips and common corrections
These videos help you learn each posture systematically, whether you're new to Taijiquan or working to improve your technique.
In this video, we cover the first section with a special focus on one of Taijiquan's most important principles: weight distribution and leg transitions.
Pay close attention to how your weight shifts smoothly from one leg to the other throughout each movement. This isn't just about stepping - it's about maintaining perfect balance while your body flows like water.
Key things to watch for:
- How the weight transfers gradually, never suddenly
- The way the supporting leg stays rooted while the other moves
- How each transition happens within the movement itself, not between movements
Master this foundation, and everything else in Taijiquan becomes much easier!
