Chen Zhonghua is a very generous master with outstanding teaching skills. This video of him teaching at a workshop is a treasure chest full of gold nuggets that can greatly advance one’s push hands knowledge and skills. You will be amazed at the down-to-earth simplicity of explanations AND of the actual and non-choreographed demonstrations by one of the greatest masters of the present day. Without a doubt, it is a precious and a must-have for intermediate and advanced practitioners. That being said, it still requires immersive learning and dedicated training to fully appreciate the authoritative and cogent transmission of this lineage of Chen Style (practical method) taijiquan. [By the way, the video and the audio qualities of this recording are excellent.]
