Setting of the shoulder in Tai Chi and internal arts
Hi everyone, please excuse my lack of knowledge regarding this subject I trained with my Tai Chi teacher for around one year. Regrettably I had to quit the class when I relocated to a new city due to work commitments. I have noticed that setting the shoulder is emphasized in Tai Chi and the internal arts and I wondered what that means? Are our shoulders not already set in the correct position or does the setting require us to change our natural skeletal position? Are there any exercises or drills I can practice to feel the sensation of a correctly set shoulder?
Thank you in advance for your input and suggestions. Travis.
