Ahhh, got yah,
but
that is not what
splitting the circle means...
All taijji is built upon the idea of yin and yang, right?
But most tai chi says, this part of the technique is the yin part and this next part is the yang part.
Chen Style, the Practical Method
has both yin and yang in every move. In every move, if the hand goes out to the front, the back knee goes out to rear. If the front hand is retreating toward your own body, the front knee or foot must extend into the front away from the body, into the opponents space.
They call it paradoxical movement...
