Double weighting in taijiquan

[doc benway]

The February 2008 issue of Tai Chi magazine has what I think is a very good article about double weighting. Most explanations take a narrow view of the topic and address only the stance, stepping, and footwork aspects of double weighting. This article discusses the more generalized viewpoint of it as relating to force against force. Recommended reading for anyone interested in the topic.

Yes an excellent article.

The force on force is really a non issue until you engage someone or push hands.
