Form 4: TiShou (Lifting I-lands)

In Tai Chi Boxing(proper tai chi uniforms are necessary), the force used to lift a thing up is canned  "ti"  (lift). This posture gives special prominence to the movement of upper limbs, lifting the arm as done to lift a heavy thing, after which Ti Shou is named.

Detailed Explanation
Lift one hand up, with the other hand used for assistance and defense.
Lower limbs: Transfer weight onto the left leg, with the right heel falling to the ground, tiptoe raised, and form into a right empty stance.
Upper limbs: Change the right hooking hand to palm, horizontally move the arms slightly to left, bend the left elbow, make the right palm inclined and standing and lift it in front of the body, pointing to the inside of the right elbow, eyes looking at the right palm.

Key Point
Uplift the head, sink the shoulders, relax the waist, and keep the crotch down, with the arms and the body looking stretched.
