Hi Tim,

is there an application for the first kick (Leglifting) in the Sun Tai Chi Form? It whould be great, if you could give an example.

Karl,
There is an application for every move in the Sun Taijiquan form.

The "leg lifting" kick is used to strike an opponent on the side of the ribs or armpit, from a 45 degree angle off center (the kick is done toward one of the "corners" in the form. This tells the practitioner the kick is to be applied from an off center angle against an opponent).

By swinging the leg up straight, there is no telegraphing the kick by first bending the knee.
