		<description><![CDATA[Single Whip is a beautiful posture familiar to all practitioners of Tai-Chi, for it's aesthetic value , its effectiveness martially and from it's health benefit.
As a martial arts technique it seems to have unlimited applications. The crane hand can be used to whip an attacking limb in a different direction while uprooting the attacker, the harder the punch, the more powerful  the force as it is returned to it's origin. Every action has an equal re-action. An interesting note about Tai-Chi as a health practice is that in order to maximize it's effectiveness the martial applications need to be understood.
There are many reasons for that. One is that where the Yi go's the Chi goes. In other words where your mind go's, the chi follows. Vividly imagining application of the technique increases our blood and chi circulation in a very powerful way. As we play our particular style of Tai-Chi it is imperative that the form be correct. " Miss by an inch and you miss by ten thousand miles". As we move through the form we are opening and closing energy gates and meridians. Knowing precisely how to stretch into each posture leads directly to it's health benefit.
Also practicing the forms we continuously peel back layer after layer of new techniques and their application. A deeper understanding of the postures and study of the Meridians and our nervous system leads us to a deeper direct comprehension of how and why Tai- chi works.
You may find an application and use it as your focus while you practice, but this does not mean that that is THE application for the posture only one of many possible techniques. Giving each posture and transition optimal focus and attention also creates a deeper state of mindfulness.]]></description>
