I would be interested in your experience.

I have seen/read about bang being used for wrist strength, etc in conjunction with some Chen taiji so when you mentioned wrist and forearms I became curious. It appears from what I had read that the ruler was internal moreso than bang. Is that your understanding or do you follow that thought? If I may, would you comment on where you learned your ruler routine and some of the form(s).

Both appear to be aids to developing perception of chi flow which occurs between palms when held facing each other in close proximity. Neither aid is mandatory to performing the movements and obtaining benefits. Many of the movements are inherent in the Yang style Taiji open hand forms.
