Master Chen’s workshop this Saturday focused on the theme of ‘division of labour’ amongst the different parts of the body; he emphasized yet again that in order for movements to become functional under pressure, one part of the body must be perfectly still while the other part rotates. We looked at this rule through a variety of examples. Read more

This is the sixth Toronto workshop I’ve attended.  Every workshop has been packed with information, intense training and a few good laughs.  We had some very special guests from Italy – Master Bon and Neresini.  The two were very friendly and eager to learn and share.    Hope they come back soon.

After training in the sweltering Shandong heat, morning Yilu’s in Edmonton feel like a walk in the park.  It’s not just the temperature though, after training on Daqingshan for three months I feel refreshed, relaxed, inspired and just generally ready to go!  You should go too…seriously.

Toronto Sept. 2010 workshop group photo

Here are my notes:

  • Anchor the hands, pull from the front foot, mid section, shoulder, and elbow. On the way out, hand leads the elbow, shoulder, front kua, rear kua, rear knee, and rear foot. Extend the hand fully to the maximum, and then somehow the energy will reverse itself.
  • Everything comes from the foot.
  • Find the fixed spot on the opponent or point in space, then rotate around it.
  • Peg the rope 9 times, each section needs to be tight (with tension).

Thank you Master Chen and Allan for your time and excellent teaching so far. The first two days have been great! Read more
