If you lock your lower body, and turn your palm from up to down, or down to up(so that your thumb rotates 360 degrees), you see your elbow moves in a swinging motion. Now if you turn your palm, and restrict the movement of your elbow, you see that your entire body needs to rotate in order for the elbow to remain stationary. This is the secret of taiji, the isolation of either the elbow, waist, or knee in order to force a full body rotation. This is how you generate maximum power and leverage with your body.
