Learning taiji online is impossible, but not impractical. The key to getting the most benefit outside of the classroom involves understanding what can be achieved and what can not be achieved and through this understanding develop goals that are obtainable. Read more
This December I had the honour of being invited to teach an introductory workshop on the Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method. I’d been to Brittany twice before to work with the theatre company Teatr Piba and this time my friend and colleague Erwan Cloarec asked me to also teach Taijiquan.
This time a long time student of Master Chen James Chan from Philadelphia joined us. Lots of push hand on Sunday as four students from Seattle joined us. Topics covered:
- In yilu, finish the move and add one: don’t connect the moves together.
- Door jam principle in push hand.
- Complete your move in push hand, dont get distracted.
- To execute on 45 line it feels less friction than meeting opponent force head on, but students always choose to resist and fight instead.
I’ve been in Edmonton now for ten days to get instructions by Master Chen Zhonghua and the local teachers and to train at their school.
These days have been very beneficial for me. Special thanks to Allan Belsheim Read more
