Tai Chi Grasp The Peacock’s Tail Unisex Tank Top
US$30.00 – US$32.00
This soft, sleeveless tank top is so comfy you’re going to want to wear it everywhere, be it on your couch, out on a walk, or during a tai chi class. The relaxed fit and low-cut armholes gives it a casual, urban look.
In many styles of Tai Chi there is a fascinating movement often called “Grasp the Peacock’s Tail”【攬雀尾】. It might also be called “Grasp the Sparrow’s Tail” or simply “Grasp the Bird’s Tail”. This move is different than many other movements in Tai Chi as it has four distinct parts that relate to some deeper aspects of Tai Chi. These four parts are:
• Ward Off – “Peng”【掤】
⁃ Peng is an outward and expanding energy.
• Roll Back – “Lu”【捋】
⁃ Lu is a feel of opening up a space.
• Press – “Ji”【擠】
⁃ Ji is a compressing or squeezing type of energy.
• Push – “An”【按】
⁃ Push is much less about actually pushing and much more about rooting and sinking and bringing your opponent’s energy down into your root.
When we are practicing Grasp the Peacock’s Tail, it is helpful to know how these energy expressions relate to the different parts of the movement. This gives us an opportunity to experience the movements while directing our internal energy rather than simply moving our limbs around our body.
• Print on Bella + Canvas tank top
• Easily removable tear-away tag for your comfort
• 100% airlume combed ring-spun cotton
• Fabric weight: 4.2 oz/y² (142 g/m²)
• 32 singles
• Relaxed fit
• Side-seamed construction
• Wide, low-cut armholes
• Blank product sourced from Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, or the US
This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
