螳螂之體/Tanglang Zhi Ti – Tanglang’s Form

梅花太極手，寒雞步，猴勢太極手，千變萬化。寒雞步變化無窮矣。螳螂此手如蜻蜓點水，勢如蝴蝶穿花，四面旋繞，上下環轉，疊如捶山，叫人入手無路而觸處受傷。此所謂渾然一太極也。

Plum Blossom Taiji Hands, Cold Chicken Steps, Monkey Pattern Taiji Hands, have a thousand variations & ten thousand changes. Cold Chicken Steps have limitless variations. In Praying Mantis, these Hands are like a dragonfly lightly touching the water, the Pattern is like a butterfly passing through flowers, winding around, above & below linked & turning, folding as if hammering a mountain, when calling people the Entering Hand has no route & yet they sustain injuries everywhere. This is what is called Completely Unified Taiji.
