No hastiness

It is not recommended to practice a new form without mastering the previous one. If there is any uncertainty about this form, you shall ask the teacher to correct it until the movement is accurate. We must know that “it is easy to learn one boxing style, but hard to correct.” If one form is inaccurate, the others are inevitably the same.

Haste makes waste.

Health for practice

Health deserves attention when practicing. Do not practice immediately before or after meals; provide at least a half hour interval. Do not practice when exhausted. Do not use your brain after practicing; otherwise, the spirit will be hurt. Do not eat raw or cold food like melons or fruits. Do not untie clothes in the wind or wash the body with cold water. The clothes should be changed if they are wet with sweat. Do not sit or lie down before the pulse resumes its normal rate; walk slowly for a short time. Taijiquan practitioners should avoid staying up late, which will cause inadequate recuperation, listlessness, and the tendency to easily give up halfway through the practice.
