Four Qualities of Tai Chi: Peng, Lu, Ji, An - A Tutorial and Demonstration
Discover the essence of Tai Chi through the exploration of its four foundational qualities: Peng (expanded uplifting), Lu (a rolling, redirecting), Ji (a direct through), and An (a heavy downward). In this video, Susan Thompson demonstrates and teaches how these principles come to life in real-time through the dynamic practice of Tai Chi push hands.

Learn how to embody and deliver these qualities with a resisting partner, experiencing the balance of sensitivity, intention, and effortless power that defines Tai Chi. Susan also illustrates how to divide and combine these qualities-such as blending Peng with An-to create powerful and adaptable responses in push hands practice.
Whether you’re new to Tai Chi or looking to deepen your understanding, Susan Thompson provides practical insights and clear guidance to help you connect with these transformative principles. Elevate your Tai Chi practice by uncovering how Peng, Lu, Ji, and An work together to enhance both your forms and partner applications. Dive into the art of expanding, rolling redirection, direct intention, and grounding energy-core elements that make Tai Chi both a martial art and a moving meditation. Give more context to your Tai Chi form no matter what style of Tai Chi you practice.
