Some technical notes on Occupying the Centre:
Each person has his own centre. When in action and in contact, a proficient taiji practitioner, through body contact, uses Yin (negative) force to meet Yang (positive) force and merges the centres of 2 persons into one. Technically speaking, there can only be one centre in a coherent moving force. The practitioner will either use his own centre to take over the other person's centre or use the other's centre as his own centre (advanced technique). The purpose is to procure Yin / Yang conversion between the 2 persons. The centres separate again after the conversion.
+ and - ---> O ---> - and +
separation (Yang / Yin) ----> unification ----> (Yin / Yang) separation
Where there is no movement, there is no Yin and Yang, and there is no room for taiji.
