Sun Style Tai Chi Chuan

“In regards to the practice of Taijiquan, Sun Lu Tang often said that his teacher, Master HaoWei Zhen, would say there were three levels of development in the training of Taijiquan. The following are the three levels often mentioned by Master Sun:
“In the initial stages of practiceone will feel as if walking on the floor of the ocean. The movements will feel heavy as if all thewater was pressing down on the body.
The second stage feels as if the feet are not touchingthe floor bottom, but the body is floating within the water. The movements of Taijiquan willfeel more natural at this stage.
The third stage is when the body is light and agile where onewill feel as if walking on the oceans surface. At this stage achievement in Taijiquan hasbeen obtained”.
