Theory
Wuji is not just a stance, it is a philosophical concept
It is the state of nothingness, but at the same time with every possibility
In wuji all the energy gates of the torso align one directly above the other
The animal energy associated with wuji is the dragon, with the serpent-like body mirrored in the posture with the feet together, the arms relaxed by the sides and the head straight
Making a Basic Fist
Preparation
Make sure you are warmed up before attempting this movement. You can find the recommended warm ups at the start of the course.
Five Gates: Neck

Start by bringing gently the chin up and down, lengthening the neck without straining.
Then turn the head side to side, keeping eyes level with the horizon. Stay soft and do not tense the neck or shoulders.
