If one part of the body moves too fast or too slowly in comparison to the rest of the body, you will appear to be awkward.

Explained the horizontal and vertical rotations of taijiquan.
John is starting to understand the concept of “the hand does not move, the body moves”.
Out move the hand, large
In move the elbow, large.
Hand, head and rear foot: one thing.
Shoulder, elbow, kua: one thing.

Not by yourself freely, but go down while you are pushing or pulling. The downward move is actually a stretch. Not a movement of your body downwards.
