The first section is the hardest to learn, because here is where the foundation is laid. Emphasis is placed on reinforcing the basic principles of posture, balance, coordination, unity, and circulation of energy. Learn these lessons well, then, not only will the more difficult movements that come later be much easier, but also will your Tai Chi be more beneficial and satisfying.
