I wanted to say thank you as I succeeded to use what you taught us at the last seminar when facing a very bad situation. Last Friday, I was seriously verbally aggressed and threatened with a knife and taiji philosophy saved my life. I used a lot of psychology, lots self-control not to show my fear and to disarm my attacker, and good communication skills that also disarmed him. I managed to get out of the situation without a single scratch god thanks! I was thinking of those principles that you taught us and I used them in a psychological fight instead of a combat fight and it worked very well.
So thanks a lot and I seriously hope I will never have to use those skills again in a real situation!
Take care,
Karine

Wow Karine, what a story! I am so very happy that you came out OK from this “adventure”. Master Chen teachings are indeed very valuable and from so many perspectives. I am glad that they ended up helping you in this bad situation from a self-preservation point of view and in a very practical way. We are lucky to be able to study with him and I am looking forward to the next workshop and to see you there again. Amitié.
