  • Cover more space to be stronger
Move forward vs rotate
  • If we are suppsoed to move forward, then don't rotate.

  • Think of Lego building blocks. There used to be just a small number of blocks of different sizes. What can be made out of them is only limited by our imagination.  We are at the beginning building useful blocks in our taiji, only when we have these basic units, we can start to see what we can do with them.
