Introduction from Foundation (基礎)Introdução aos Fundamentos (基礎)

基礎

太極拳以拳架為體，以推手為用。在最初盤架時，基礎最關重要。其姿勢務求正確而中正安舒，其動作必須緩和而輕靈圓活。此繫入門之徑。學者循序而進，不致枉費功夫，而得其捷徑也。

"Taijiquan makes use of postures as the system and of pushing hands as the application. The beginning is the time to build the frame, the foundation is the most important aspect. One should seek an accurate posture, centered, upright, tranquil and comfortable. The movements must be slow, light, agile, round and alive. This is the path for the entry gate. The student should abide by this order to advance. In this way he is not likely to work in vain and progress quickly."
