The seven full time students start with foundations, then Master Chen join us and start a yilu form. He started slow and loose and toward the end he cranked it up, really powerful, fast movement. I think this is how he practice privately, I never see this power in his videos.
Practice starts at 5:30am until breakfast time at 7:30, then anytime during the day. Master Chen challenge us to do at least 20 yilus daily and keep daily record.
Throughout the day there are impromptu sessions of push hands and lessons with him.
For those coming to the mountain, please pick up some basic Mandarin beforehand. Master Chen has a lot of friends here and you will listen to a lot of extra lessons and stories if you understand chinese.
