in what taiji curriculum do you find this work?
"taiji principles"
where are they?

Ballet, yoga, tango, juggling, surfing... obviously these activities share something in common, but their emphases and pedagogical approaches vary significantly.
Tango dancers don't use taiji principles, they use tango principles. They do tango work. Even if there's an overlap from time to time, what they do is categorically NOT taiji in any way.
OTOH it's possible to use taiji to aid your groundwork, or even create your own 'taiji groundfighting'. But bjj it ain't.
