Tai Chi body mechanics allows you to use less effort
and have more effect. Learn to yield without loosing ground and neutralize to gain an advantage. Develop alignment to absorb force And learn to push from the root. Elaine Waters takes complex and potentially esoteric concepts, and delineates them into simple, easy to understand ideas,
