Ya Tui Gong is an exercise known as 'leg pull gong'. It is a Gong which pulls the body into the correct shape for martial arts. It is also not taught in Tai Chi schools.

My teacher is very good at Tai Chi but also has lineage in Huaquan and others, has reccomended me Ya Tui Gong in order to fix some errors in my Tai Chi form. As a result, for the first time in my life after over 30 years, I felt I was able to "sit" in bow stance. I feel this is a so very special and rare treasure. As a result of this sudden and dramatic improvement I feel so grateful to my teachers.
This semester since I am the PE teacher in a Senior Highschool I have decided to teach Ya Tui Gong and Tantui to the senior highschool kids:

The kids love it. They like Ya Tui Gong, they like Tantui, and they like the Tai Chi Kung Fu stretching and chi kung exercises I also teach them: White Crane Circles Knees, White Horse Parts Its Mane, and more.

What is best is that during the sit and reach test, every single student who performed Ya Tui Gong increased their range by 1 to 3 centimeters. Every one. The school is very impressed with these results. It made me realize, that if you want to relax into deep stances in Tai Chi and truly express Tai Chi's martial power, you must perform Ya Tui Gong. Inside Ya Tui Gong are all of the scientific realizations we have made and have yet to be made. It is great!
Do you agree? Does your school practice Ya Tui Gong? For those of you who do practice it, what are the benefits you have experienced? Thanks for your comments!
