Grandmaster Wong explaining the rotation of the waist in deflecting a powerful attack

Some important points are demonstrated while learning Combat Sequence 2 as shown in this video series. Rotating the waist is very important in Taijiquan. It constitutes one of the reasons why a smaller-sized person can overcome a stronger opponent. Grandmaster Wong demonstrates how this is achieve when deflecting Sifu Rama?s attack. Another important point is to use chi flow and not brute strength when releasing a grip. Sifu Rama grips Grandmaster Wong?s both wrist. He releases the grip using ?Open Window to Look at the Moon?. Grandmaster Wong and Sifu Rama then demonstrates using Sequences 1 and 2 in sparring.
