Chapter I
Origins

Sticks are among the tools first used by human beings. In Chinas
traditional health culture, it has long been a practice to exercise
with an instrument like a stick. In the Pictures of Daoyin Exercises
excavated from the Mawangdui Tomb of the Han Dynasty (206
BC-AD 220) in Changsha of Hunan Province, there are two
illustrations of figures in different postures wielding sticks (Figs. 1
and 2). They are by far the earliest document to teach people how
to keep fit by stick exercises.
From the earliest time “dance” meant to ward off disease and
keep fit, to various other health preservation methods such as
daoyin (Chinese traditional fitness exercise which combines
breath control, body and limb movements, concentration of mind,
and local massage), we see a form of exercise with the stick as an
instrument.
According to historical records, the Book of Zhuangzi wrote,
“exhaling and inhaling, or imitating a bear climbing a tree and
a bird reaching out its feet - they are all about regimens...”
Regimens have combined daoyin with qi-regulating exercises.

The Huang Di Nei Jing (Yellow Emperor’s Medicine) explains,

“The land in the center is flat and wet, and all things grew there.
Its people ate everything and did not much labor. So most people
were affected by numbness of limbs, faintness, cold and heat, and
their best treatment was daoyin (^- 51 ) and massage.” A large
number of historical records and the use of the stick mentioned
in the Pictures of Daoyin Exercises indicate a relationship between
body building, breathing exercises and other fitness methods in
ancient China. This is the intellectual basis for ùs to identify, adapt
and create new body-building regimens. The Pictures of Daoyin
Exercises and the modern Taiji Stick (Taiji Yangsheng Zhang) show
that the regimen using the stick has a long history, and this practice
continues till today.
Based on the Pictures of Daoyin Exercises, this book creates
a new Taiji Stick regimen based on the principles of daoyin,
conscious breathing and the successful experience of traditional
practice methods with instruments such as the Taiji Stick.

 CHAPTER II

Characteristics
Chapter II
Characteristics

The Taiji Stick Health Preservation Exercises embodies the

concept of harmony between yin and yang, man and nature. All
the movements involved are soft and slow and easy to practice.
This is not a “martial art/’ per se, and the stick is not wielded like a
weapon. The key points for the general practice of the Taiji Stick
are as follows:

1. The Stick Guides Coordination of Body and Spirit

As the vehicle of human life, our body is a dynamic whole of

flesh and blood, muscles, nerves and bones, meridian channels,
and internal organs. In contrast, spirit, which dominates human
life, refers to mental activities such as thought and concentration
of the mind.
External matters include posture, body movements and ways to
hold and use the stick; our internal focus encompasses breathing,
thought, strength and vision.

6
 The concept of our Taiji Stick regimen is to guide our breathing
with the stick, giving first priority to attaining mental tranquility
and building up our bodies at the same time. Breathing should
synchronize with our body movements, guided by the stick. When
wielding the stick, we should ease our minds, let thoughts govern
breathing, and harmonize body and spirit.

2. The Waist Functions as a Pivot to

Harmonize the Body and the Stick

In practicing with the Taiji Stick, we should twist, turn, bend,

and stretch around the waist as a center, and move our spine
accordingly.
In practicing with the Taiji Stick, we need to relax our waist
and hips, and keep the body upright and comfortable, adjusting
the movement of the waist in harmony with use of the stick. If we
lift the stick, we need to sink the waist and lower the qi down to
the Dantian (lower belly); and, if we lower the stick, we need to
straighten the waist and pull up the qi to the Baihui acupoint. If we
rotate the stick in a circle, our waist becomes the anchor, moving
our body and arms. All this illustrates the pivotal role of the waist.

3. Relationship of Stick Movement and Massage

The stick should not only guide coordination of your hody

movements and breathing, but should also help stretch muscles

7
Chapter II
Characteristics

and strengthen bones, massage acupoints, clear meridian channels

and activate internal organs. If we move the stick and massage our
abdomen in exercise, we can further stimulate the internal organs,
thus strengthening the sticks body-building effects.

4. Rotating the Stick

The path of the stick should be a coherent rotation, either

horizontally, vertically or in any arc in between.

5. Hands and Stick are Integrated into One

As an extension of the arms, the stick becomes a part of the

exerciser. In practice, hold the stick and guide the body movements
with your waist as the center, and at the same time use the sticks
motion to pull and push your internal organs, in harmony with
each other.
This set of exercises is both suitable for use as a whole regimen
and on an individual or selective basis. With our body motion
guided by the stick, and particularly through rotating our wrists
and spinal column and stretching the upper back and shoulders,
we can stimulate the circulation of qi and blood and relax muscles
and bones to balance j/in and yang, keeping fit and healthy.

Section I Introduction to the Stick

The stick can be made of materials such as the branches of the

white wax tree (jraxinus), pine tree and bamboo, which are smooth
and even, or carved into auspicious patterns or with text about
health. The size of the stick should be determined according to the
height of the exerciser and by the size of his/her hands. The stick
is usually 105 to 125 cm long and 2.3 to 2.8 cm in diameter (Figs.
3 to 5). (Both ends of the stick are carved with auspicious cloud
images, but the patterns on the middle of the stick could differ.)

Section IV Breathing and Concentrating the Mind

1. Breathing
Beginners should breathe naturally as needed, and as skills and
mastery of each move advance, they can gradually learn abdominal
breathing. The coordination of movements and breathing follows
some basic principles - when moving upward, we move the stick
away from the body and inhale; and when moving downward,
we move the stick close to the body and exhale. Or when rolling
the stick inward we inhale, and when rolling the stick outward we
exhale.

2. Concentrating the Mind

The Taiji Stick regimen is characterized by the integration of
meanings and forms, which change as your movement changes.
In this process, you will become totally engrossed in yourself. In
this way, the exerciser will relax and focus on the essentials of the
exercise, concentrating the mind, form and breathing into one.

 2. When you move the stick in front of your body, your arms
and legs should synchronize naturally and smoothly. You should
keep the stick moving between your shoulders and waist, and your
elbows and shoulders should move as you push the stick forward.
Keep your elbows bent naturally, crane your neck to lift the Baihui
acupoint upward and breathe deeply.

Health benefits
1. Regular movements of the wrists can stimulate the
acupuncture points on the wrists, clear the Hund-Shaoyin heart
meridian, Hand-Jueyin pericardium meridian, and the Hand-Taiyin
lung meridian, nurturing the heart and calming the nerves (see
Appendix: Acupuncture Points).
2. Regular movements of the wrists help ease and reduce the
excessive stress of your muscles and tendons from work and daily
life.

Step 2 Boat Rows Slowly (Qing Zhou Huan Xing)

Movements
1. Continue from “Boatman Rows with an Oar.” Bend your
knees and step your left foot directly forward. Arch your toes and
instep back and stick your heel to the ground. Turn your waist
right, hold the stick with both hands and draw an arc from the
right side, above your head (Fig. 71-1). Then spread your right
hand, turn 180 degrees left with the right palm up and the stick
resting on it (Fig. 71-2). Move your weight forward, straighten
your knees, set your left foot flat on the ground and touch the

Tips
1. When you "draw a circle” around your body; you should turn
your waist naturally and flow with the stick motion; your eyes
should follow the moving stick; inhale when gathering momentum
and exhale when completing the motion.
2. When you hold the stick, imagine transferring strength
downward along the stick, and drop the qi to the Dantian.
3. Beginners may expand the space between their feet when
stepping up or back. When your skills advance and your balance
improves, the inside of the feet should be on a line.
4. A practitioner with shoulder problems should have special
training for these movements, and control their speed and range.

Health benefits
1. The motion of rowing an oar helps your wrists and shoulders
rotate to stimulate the Hand-Sanyin and Hand-Sanyang meridians,
i.e. the coordination of the lung meridian with the large intestine
meridian, the heart meridian with the small intestine meridian,
the pericardium meridian with the Sanjiao meridian. This set of
movements promotes digestion and intestinal health.
2. Ankle movements stimulate the Foot-Sanyin meridian and the
Foot-Sanyang meridian, and also regulate the functions of the liver,
gallbladder and urine bladder.
3. Rotation of the shoulders helps prevent and cure shoulder
arthritis and lessen shoulder pain.

This set of movements is done on each side and repeated twice.

Tips
1. In this set, you should coordinate your wrist movements in
different ways of holding the stick.
2. When you hold the stick and draw circles in both directions,
relax your shoulders and extend your arms as you turn your waist.
3. When you bend the body and draw circles with the stick, the
hand at the lower end of the stick guides the movement and must
remain no higher than the waist; the arm holding the other end
should remain high, near the ear. Ihe priority for each hand should
be the smooth movement of the stick.

54
 4. Older people may move less forcefully when bending their
bodies; young people should use greater force.
5. Adjust the width of your stance according to the length of the

the Chong meridian channel and the Ren and Du meridian
channels, regulates your liver and gallbladder, suppresses liver yang
hyperactivity, and promotes unblocked circulation ofblood and qi.
2. According to chiropractic theory bending the spinal column
can also help prevent or adjust spinal asymmetry, effectively
preventing deformity.

Tips
1. Use “rotating the stick to the left” as an example. When you
draw curves upward and to the left, your left hand should slide
slightly toward the end of the stick, as you straighten your knees
and stand up; when you rotate the stick and press it on your
shoulder, your right hand should slide to the end of the stick, with
your hands in symmetrical positions.
2. When you hold the stick and draw curves behind you, your
waist should rotate and extend as well.
3. When you turn your waist leftward and rotate the stick, you
should slide the stick on your shoulder as you turn your waist, and
then draw circles on the side and behind your back. Your right

62
hand should cooperate with your left, with your stick rotating
approximately 180 degrees.
4. When you turn your waist and shoulders, you should rotate
the stick after you stop. Beginners should shift their weight higher,
keep their stride short, and turn their bodies slightly. You may keep
your stride bigger, turn your waist and extend your legs to the full
until your upper body and legs are in line when you become more
skilled.
5. When you massage your shoulders with the stick, do so
gently. When you turn your waist to the right, you should press
the Jianjing acupoint on the left shoulder and vice versa. Also,
remember to coordinate your movements with your breathing.

Health benefits
1. Turning your head can effectively stimulate the Dazhui
acupoint, invigorate the qi and strengthen yang; pressing the
Jianjing acupoint helps promote the circulation of blood and qi
and strengthen the body; it also relieves rheumatism, drives off
coldness, and reduces pain in your neck, shoulders and back.
2. Turning your waist, straightening your legs and stretching
your feet can further stimulate the Ren and Du meridian channels,
the Dai meridian channel, and the Foot-Sanyin and Foot-Sanyang
meridians, promote the circulation ofblood and qi, invigorate your
kidneys and strengthen yang. These movements also help increase
the flexibility of your lumbar vertebrae and hip joints, and stretch
the muscle groups of the waist and legs, thereby improving their
flexibility and agility.

Tips
1. When you cannot manage the stick well, try practicing some
basic movements such as rotating, rolling and sliding the stick.
2. Coordinate your breathing with the movements. As your
skills advance, your breath will become deep and light, primarily
abdominal breathing.
3. When you lift your arm and extend your hand, relax your
shoulders, bend your elbow, imagine you are breathing the essence
of nature deep into your Dantian, and stand quietly for a moment.

Health benefits
1. Wrist rotation makes up for the lack of such movements in
daily life, and helps effectively to prevent wrist injury.
2. Guiding the movement of qi with the stick, and imagining the
absorption of natures essence into your Dantian from the Baihui
acupoint, to nurture the soul, help maintain your vitality and
improve the effect of the exercise.

Movements

Fig. 162 Fig. 163

This set of movements is done on each side once and repeated

twice.

Tips
1. The balance of yin and yang should be manifested in every
movement of this set of exercises. When you push the stick
forward, you extend your legs backward; as you draw a vertical
circle from the bottom up, you move your weight downward.
2. When you twist the stick, rotate your wrists outward and
inhale at the same time; as you press the stick, rotate your wrists
inward and exhale; when you rise and spread your feet apart, you
inhale; when you bring your feet together and sink with bending
knees, you exhale.

78
 3. Older people with high blood pressure or heart disease may
choose a higher squat with one knee pressed against Chengshan
acupoint of the other leg. Younger people should choose the lower
squat. As the physical condition of the older practitioner improves,
the low squat becomes an option.
4. When you draw a vertical circle, relax your shoulders and
stretch your arms; when you slide your hands to the ends of the
stick, you should hold the stick tight, lowering your shoulders and
elbows.

Health benefits
1. When bending the knees with one knee pressed against
the Chengshan acupoint of the other leg, you stimulate the Foot-
Taiyang bladder meridian effectively. This regulates the flow of
urine, as the bladder meridian channel is connected with the
kidney channel.
2. Rotating your body from the waist helps stimulate the Dai
meridian channel, which is responsible for thorough circulation in
the meridians, and is good for the smooth flow of qi throughout
the body.
3. Squatting demands flexibility and the ability to balance and
control the strength in your legs. Squatting helps strengthen older
peoples leg muscles, improve their balancing ability and reduce
muscle spasm and cramping.

1. When you raise the stick in front of your body lower your
shoulders and raise your elbows; when you draw the stick back to
your chest, flex your hands, wrists and elbows in succession.
2. When you bend your back and turn your body leftward, your
left hand guides the stick and the right hand follows; when you
turn your body to the right, bend your back and lower the stick,
drop the right hand first and then the left.
3. Ybur breath should be light but deep, in harmony with your
