While in the Yilu or First Routine, you train to develop qi and the rou (softness), in the Second Routine or Paochui, you learn to acquire the expressiveness of Taijiquan power. You can also think of the the Erlu Routine as training to manifest the gongfu (the power and skills of the art), while the Yilu Routine as the gongfu jia, that is, the basic training routine to xia gongfu (to attain gongfu of the art). In this sense, the Paochui Routine is the complement of the Yilu Routine.

Learning and practicing the Erlu Routine is essential to your development and understanding of Taijiquan and it will reinforce your insights of Yilu training, and why you spend such an inordinate amount of time to cultivate the soft-rou of the art. You will have an experiential appreciation of how through rou (softness), you express and develop gang (hard power), that is, to taste the true yin-yang flavors of jin internal strength.

THIS IS A MUST-ATTEND WORKSHOP for anyone who seeks higher levels of the art.
