As part of the strengthening exercise, the taiji ruler is used to develop wrists power.

How do you obtain a taiji ruler?

There really isn’t a need to buy any special equipment. For me, i just used a chinese rolling pin that is about a feet long. Others simply saw a section off an unused curtain rod.

Here are 2 simple steps on how to do the taiji ruler exercise. You may think of more.

1. Hold the ruler so that it is in a vertical position while your arms are like embracing a balloon. Push the ruler in so that it is near your chest and out again. At the same time your wrists must rotate as though you are wringing the ruler.

2. Hold the ruler horizontally in front of your chest with your palms facing your chest. Next,  using your waist , turn left but using your right hand to push your right end of ruler down (At this point, the right end of the ruler moves toward your body ) while your left hand will try to resist the movement. After that, turn back to face the front to the starting position. Repeat this on right side. Remember resistance is the key here.
