Never have I dreamt of being able to taking in Master Chen’s insights IN REAL TIME twice every week — four times in most people’s cases. To hear him speak directly at me of the theory and physics behind the moves, to watch him demonstrate, and to have him correct my moves — again, in real time — was too good to be true before the Zoom classes were available. I feel incredibly grateful for this!
These Zoom classes have been wonderful. I have gained so much information. The corrections that I have received as well as watching and listening to the corrections of ALL the students, both beginning and advanced, have given me a much greater understanding of the Practical Method system that I could never have imagined without actually being in Edmonton with Master Chen every day. I am sure that these Zoom classes have been a treasure for all the students that have attended.
I have been following Shifu online class for 4 months now and I enjoy every seconds of it. Very fortunate to be seen, corrected up close and personal by Shifu. The depth of knowledge is often overwhelming! These online class help me a lot for my Practical Method Taiji improvement.
Thank you for the oportunity to join the class Shifu
These classes have been very useful for me to work on exercises with feedback, flesh out details, and find deeper insight into Practical Method. It’s a great opportunity for all practicioners, and I look forward to class every week.
I have been joining Shifu Chen Zhonghua’s online zoom class since at beginning of the classes. The classes are always very good, informative and helpfull to my progress in learning and practicing Practical Method Taiji. I had learned so much in these few months .
Shifu also gave corrections to me and all the students . I also learned a lot just by watching Shifu gave corrections to other students.
Thank you Shifu Chen Zhonghua.!
I always believe that we will never get disappointed with Master Chen! In fact, being able to join the online classes is such a treat.
Every class, I learn something I don’t know, something I never notice or the things I thought I know but I actually don’t. From one point, Master Chen can expand so wide and so deep in different perspectives. Master is the role model of all the moves. He always show the moves in details, in different angles, in multiple times until it is clear to everyone. Only when we start to see, we can truly realize how precise Master’s moves are. Watch it again and again, copy, repeat and get corrected, that’s how we make progress. Never think you get it. Gongfu comes out of hard practice!
Thank you Master!
The ZOOM classes have been extremely valuable. We are fortunate in this time of global pandemic to have this access to Master Chen’s vast knowledge. It is never boring as Shifu always has new information or anecdote to pass on. His examples and explanations are always ‘spot on.’ He motivates me to practice more. I am also thankful to his assistants who work in the background to help Shifu bring these classes to us. There is no substitute for in-person learning and I look forward to the day when Master Chen can visit us again in Phoenix.
I will continue to participate in this rare opportunity with Master Chen Zhonghua on a weekly basis. I have found the lessons abundant with SEVERAL significant corrections and “AHA MOMENTS” that will allow my Taiji to progress….If I take those corrections and apply them in my daily practice…
Amazing transfer of knowledge by Master Chen himself. Everyone is corrected by Master Chen and as he says we all have very similar problems based on our years and ability in Practical method. This is truly valuable. Because as Master Chen shows the correction it becomes your correction too. This increases your knowledge continuously whether or not you can immediately perform it.
These online classes are an extremely valuable opportunity for direct instruction and correction by Master Chen. I think my understanding of tai chi has improved tremendously over the past few months, and I am eager to continue.
Great online classes. A must for everyone. I had the November 2020 full package and I received loads of advise, information and guidance. Enough to put in some extra training efforts! Now I am registering for the December 2020 class!
Speaking from personal experience, I can’t think of any better example of the Chinese viewpoint on the connection between crisis and opportunity than Master Chen (and now Kelvin’s) online classes. I’ve learned so much in the last few months, and I hope these classes will continue when things get back to “normal”?
Kelvin’s classes are great! He goes into the kind of detail that I’m definitely ready for. It’s not just his corrections of Yilu movements, but his showing how we should move internally that is so good. Basically, each of us gets a private lesson and gets to watch everybody else’s. The way he dissects the foundational exercises is especially helpful. Thanks to the classes, my Yilu is feeling much more stable, efficient and powerful.
The online classes by Master Chen and Kelvin are highly recommended. I have been participating in Master Chen’s and Kelvin’s classes and I find them extremely valuable. The classes are very informative and very useful. Not only can the whole class get minute details for each posture and transitions in-between, participants get to show and receive individual corrections for a specific posture or a series of postures. Moreover, participants are provided with practical drills and guidance on what to focus on for after-class training on their own. It is important to point out that both Master Chen and Kelvin are very attentive to the level of each participant and cater their recommendations for improvements accordingly. Finally, participants get to get a more complete picture and a much deeper understanding of the principles underlying Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method.
Master Chen and Kelvin Ho, Zoom classes Pandemic style. I have followed practical method for twenty years with Master Chen through videos and workshops. I never dreamed I would like to do it via Zoom in my home. I am very surprised at how valuable these lessons are to my practice. Doing the form moves in my own home has a totally different more relaxed dynamic. I have found being corrected and watching others corrections improves my practice, which forever is a work in progress. These classes will improve flexibility and strength and if you are not past your prime as I am, you may some day become a martial artist. If you practice hard at it for twenty years, you will slow the aging process. These zoom classes are ideal as a starting place to learn taiji or a place where you improve your skill whatever your level.
What a blessing that we are able to partake of Master Chen’s wisdom on a weekly basis. I’ve also noticed lately more and more I look forward to seeing my Taiji brothers and sisters each class. Thank you for this opportunity to meet people from around the globe.
Great Post, During this pandemic. Zoom is one of the best apps after Lockdown, These apps help out many people to continue with their jobs and very out their professions. Thank you mate for sharing such a wonderful post. keep posting and good luck with your next upcoming post.
I have personally attended Coach Kelvin Sword Class (in the Chinese group) for the past 2 months (Aug – Sept 2021). It’s very enriching!!
I personally recommend for all Beginners or any individual who has certain background in Taiji Sword to sign up this Chen Style Practical Method Taiji Sword English Class.
In this class, Coach Kelvin will give a step by step clear and precise instructions on the Chen Style 56 Sword Forms to each and every participant at the comfort of your own home. He is a very passionate and patient Coach who will answer every student questions at the end of every class. I assure you that this Taiji Sword class will be of added value into your Practical Method Journey…
