Important content on the relationship between silk reeling ability and training isolation, and why people have no center and no power. I used to think Master Chen was so harsh when he would use words like ‘delusional’, but what is it when you believe you are doing something that you are not?
Great video. I was at this seminar and it is a real joy to see the recording, as it is so easy to forget. Master Chen even talks about how a student will grasp the concept and the technique during the seminar, but how many people are able to retain the knowledge, which requires practice and repeating the core concept over and over. I laugh at how I look in this video, I’m leaning forward during the positive circle, moving all different parts of my body….LOL…it’s great to have a record of how bad I was so that I can see the progress made….the private lesson I had with Master Chen following this seminar was amazing….this video, although on a basic level, has some excellent points that can be used by a student at any level…
