Taiji Stake Work

By Jie Gu

Stake work is the basic skill of Taiji, and it is an important way for Taiji practitioners to improve their own potency. The original purpose of Taiji is to defense-offense. In modern times, it has evolved into regulated competitions. Fitness-health is the consequence of Taiji. In modern times, the self-cultivation is included. Taiji routines are careful combination of elite postures, which is essential for repeated training. The art of performance gradually slips in. Therefore, stake work must support the triple purpose of Taiji's "competition and defense-offense", "fitness-health and self-cultivation", and "Taiji routine and art performance". Traditional stake work is classified as gravity stake in this book. This book introduces the concepts of external force stake and dynamic stake. These three types of stake work training fully support the three purposes of Taiji.
