Both Hands of Taiji Exercises (with image)

2. Both Hands
1) From the Left Hand stance (Fig 2-32), turn the body slightly to the left, moving the right palm downward and leftward in a semicircle from the side of the waist in front of the abdomen (i.e., in a clockwise motion), warding off the left palm upward with a clockwise motion. Eyes look forward right. (Fig 2-37)

       
2) Continue from the previous movement. Turn the body first to the left and then to the right with the weight moving to the right leg. At the same time, move the right palm leftward and upward, and then rightward and upward with counter clockwise rotation. Move the left palm downward and inward in front of the abdomen. Eyes look forward and left (Fig 2-38). In this way, exercise the previous movements in a circular motion, so that the turning of the body and the rotation of both arms are coordinated.
