Don't run before you can walk

It's tempting to focus on high level, esoteric concepts in the arena of tai chi kidology at an early stage.

Don't.

You need to put in real physical, grinding hard work before anything else. Like building up the amount of time you can stand in a posture such as San Ti shi or in a riding horse stance.

Focus on physical stuff such as loosening the joints, turning the pelvis etc.

Don't run before you can walk.
