Five Principles In Three Postures 

Connection 

Throw Down: when you throw down the shoulder blades should flex forward. The hands held away from the body with the elbows flexing out. Seek the hand and elbow position that gives you the best forward flex in the shoulder blades.  The right palm has rotated clockwise turning over to face the floor.   The left hand has also rotated clockwise so the palm faces the right hand. 

……. This program of learning explores five key principles of Tai Chi in the sequence of postures 'grasp the sparrows tail', 'throw down' and 'double handed push'.

Copy the sequence of posture and movement using the Tai Chi video or images. Never do anything that is uncomfortable. After uncomfortable comes tension ruining your practice. After tension comes discomfort. After discomfort comes injury.
