Tai Chi: Wave Hands Like Clouds Movement

Video Transcript

"In this segment, we're going to talk about scoop the water, watch the clouds double hands, which is also known as wave hands like clouds in Tai Chi form. Once you get a feel of doing it with the single hand, then you graduate so to speak into doing it with two hands, and then the whole body is involved. So we bring both hands out to the side. The side that we're on, so if I'm off to my right, my right hand is the one that will drop. That's the hand that will scoop. The other hand comes across the cloud. You let them go by. Now I'm facing my left. So now my left hand will drop, that will scoop the water, my right hand comes across watching the cloud. So whichever direction you're facing, let that hand drop, let that scoop the water, watch the cloud. And once again, we're not standing in the center. We're moving our weight from side to side, turning the waist so that the hands follow the body as opposed to leading the body with the hands. The arms are as light as feathers, so light. And let all your weight go down into your legs, letting go of your tension."
