Tai Chi ~ The Power Zone

After a nice class of Tai Chi and discussing the topic of this vlog, the power zone, with my mentor, I began to ponder the idea of a power zone and what it could be used for. Since making this vlog, I've had more breakthroughs on uses for the power zone and its importance. Not only does it increase your power and stability, but it keeps you ready for your next move.  If you’re out of your power zone, you'll have a harder time even reaching, let alone hitting, your opponent. Just two days ago in Tai Chi, we were working on destabilizing our opponent’s stance with little movement. Simply by moving their outstretched hand and placing one of our feet next to theirs, (not behind or interlocked, simply next to it), we could destabilize their entire stance. The following video will demonstrate the power zone and its primary uses.
