I've noticed that intro students have some confusion on placement of the arms, which way they should hold the ball, etc.. I have a new idea for finding the correct arm placement.
As taijiquan is supposed to be about movement from the center, try this:
Start all movement from the dantien (your center).
Keep your arms fixed in space & do not move them at ALL!
See where your body wants to put your arms.
Then think about the picture of the technique in your mind's eye and see how close you are.
Once again, a typical non-intuitive zen-like answer. I expect to see more. :)
