Chen Family style Tai Chi Chuan - beginners
Tools - Tai Chi ruler
Pretty accurate for an amateur. The blue vertical line can be taken to represent your centerline.
If you are wearing a t-shirt and are concerned, draw a line on it. If you are wearing a semi-formal
cotton top (as I am here) or a formal silk top, with any luck the frogs or buttons will nestle on the
centerline. The red line shows the ruler is parallel to the ground. In the beginning you have to move
the ruler to where it is right according to an outside observer. After a while, wherever you position
the ruler will be right. The emphasis now is to remember how different adjustments feel.
