Basic Taichi (太极) Lesson Three Led by Master Leo — Taichi Skill "Cloud Hands"

"Cloud Hands" (Yun Shou) is the most typical and fundamental exercise in Tai Chi, as well as one of the best movements for manifesting the art's body mechanics and lines of force.
No matter which style you train—Chen, Yang, Wu, Hao, or Sun—Cloud Hands is treated as the daily "mother form" from which all other skills grow.
