Principle in Stepping i

by admin2 on 2011.11.19

Proper sequence for stepping in Yilu and push hand. Step need to be broken into three moves in order to have separation power.

Master Chen showed the proper way to respond when being pulled by opponent.

I saw Grace made rapid improvement in a month since she started taiji. The secret? Fulltime stay at Daqingshan.

There is a lesser known important principle in this clip. Please leave a comment to start a discussion. It is always like this with Master Chen workshop, everything is openly explained and demonstrated. But it is up to the students to pay attention and digest on what is being shown.

Taiji is, after all, an internal martial art!

The DQS experience is unique in that I don’t need to worry about anything else apart from Taiji, and every student there was trying to do the same. Read more
