When you first begin to learn the form, pay special attention to the following points:

• Body- Straight, relaxed, loose, soft
• Feet- Pointing straight ahead, shoulder distance apart
• Hands- Relaxed by the sides of the legs
• Head- Straight, facing front
• Mind- Relax the mind. Don't think of anything
• Chest- Relax
• Back- Rounded
• Eyes- Half-closed, but the spirit inside excited
• Face- Keep a slight smile
• Tongue- Touch to upper palate
• Breath- Use the nose, not the mouth. Take three slow deep breaths, directing each breath to the Dan Tien

Before beginning the slow form, remind yourself of each of the points.

• After you have completed learning the 108 movements, continue to practice for a few months. Remember to learn each movement one by one. After a time the movement will begin to become smooth. When very smooth, try to connect the techniques. When one movement is completed, immediately begin the next.
• After some practice, when the connected form begins to feel more comfortable, start to pay special attention to the circle in each movement. You wont find a complete circle in every technique. Perhaps there will be only a half-circle or a quarter-circle, but be aware that each and every movement is rounded. With more practice, the form will become very smooth, like running water in a great river. When, from beginning to end, the whole form is connected and there is no stopping from the firs technique to the last, only the does it become Goon Chuen (Fast Form) of Tai Chi Chuan.
