On learning process and emotions
A few weeks ago Master Chen Zhonghua mentioned a lot of important issues according Taijiquan and the learning process, and this was the time when he was about to leave the mountain. Meanwhile he is back again.
One out of many important things he pointed out was that we need to become “a-emotional”, or lets say emotionally very stable, if we want to create peng energy and learn Taijiquan. Read more

Every workshops has a different flavor depending on the student groups. In Toronto, Master Chen usually talk more about theory and has lively discussion with the small group of students.

“Don’t Move!” was joined by Carmen Farruggia of Sacramento, CA, USA.
Did Yilu on the ship while cruising on St Lawrence River. The deck was rocking, the wind was blowing. The condition for Tai Chi was very difficult. I lost balance in the very first a few moves in the first try.
Hi everybody,
In the video “detailed instructions” minute 29:50, Master Chen Zhonghua is explaining a step. Does anyone know how to practice it?
Should I practice the separation version first? Because, when I step in, there is no dissynchronisation.
Thanks a lot from Germany

I was in Toronto training with some members of the Toronto Practical Method Group & Practical Tai Chi Group. We performed a few Yilu and lots of push Hands. It’s alway nice getting together to train with Taiji brothers from other groups in Master Chen’s Practical Method Taiji Family.

Hello Taiji – people!
With a few other people, there are also going to the mountain this year, I joined the private training in Berlin. We trained in a very friendly, warm atmosphere and done a lot of push-hands. It was really helpful to learn more about, especially when you have the possibility to do push-hands with very different people. I learned a lot about fundamental principles in Taiji practical method. Read more
