Today, I pushed hands with a few people. I realized how afraid I was of falling. I knew that I needed to get closer, and was trying to do kua-to-kua. However, every time the opponent tried to come in, I knew the kind of move he was trying to execute, and I would get caught and fell if he successfully got into position.

[singlepic id=3735 w=150 h=150 float=left]for the week-long national holiday, i took the opportunity to take a break from my studies in beijing and visit daqingshan. even though master chen was not there, the memories of my two summers training on the mountain were still fresh in my mind and inspired my training every day.

Hi everybody,
I think now it’s time for a little message from Berlin. Last year in August I did change my Taijiquan classes in Berlin completely to “Practical Method”. Here are some pictures taken this summer.
Meanwhile there is a little group of attendants who got into the practice quite deep in short time, and there are some more who visit my weekly classes regularly.
We are holding an Open House August 27 (Saturday) and August 28 (Sunday) from 10 am to 1 pm. Our address is 5222 – 86 street and we are giving FREE LESSONS.
Come and see what the Chen Style Practical Method as well as the Chen Style Xinyi Hunyuan Taijiquan and Qigong are all about and what we can do to to give you the best Taiji experience – ever!
Today, we have two visitors today: James Tam from Ottawa, and Kevin Sun from Winnipeg. Kevin is new to Practical Method, and he is planning to attend the Toronto September workshop.

Michael Koh is in HK visiting us. He brought along a local friend K.V. to our usual Monday night practice. Along with K.T. and John, we practiced from 8pm to 10 pm. We did some drills and push hand, and lots of discussion on Taiji principle. I am hosting Michael in my brand spanking new place in the countryside. We talked more about Taiji till 2 in the morning before we turned in:
Master Chen:
I have a question for you. I have heard you use the term “power up” quite a bit in the context of push hands. Can you elaborate on this some more, as I am not quite clear on what this exactly is since I have not been able to meet you yet or experience this myself. Perhaps a mini-lesson would be possible.
Thanks!

Brennan Toh set a new record of 150 Yilus in one day on June 26th, 2011. Two days before his taiji brother Steven Chan left. Steven previously set a record of 124 in one day. Yilu repetition is designed to train body endurance and integrity. It was said that Chen Fake did 25 yilus a day for many years consistently. Way to go, Brennan!
We will be having our summer get together the weekend of July 23 and 24 at Pikes Peak State Park in McGregor, Iowa. We will be working on Yilu forms, foundations, applications and push hands. All skill levels are invited to attend. There are motel/hotel rooms available in McGregor, but it is advisable to book early, McGregor is a casino town and the rooms are usually full. One can also check for rooms in nearby Marquette and Guttenberg, Iowa. There are camping spots available at the park. http://www.iowadnr.gov/parks/state_park_list/pikes_peak.html For more information, contact John Upshaw (319) 404-3962.
We are using tudou.com to host the videos because of its faster upload speed from Daqingshan. Let us know in the comments if you have problem viewing the clips.

I have been practicing Cheng Man Ching 37 style for 2 years, and in 2010 Apr, I started learning Chen Style Taiji in Singapore. After 3 months, I walked away feeling frustrated as I realized that what I learnt was “flower punch”. Nothing more than moving and waving my hands in the air. I didn’t give up and searched further on the internet brought me to a direct lineage from one of the master from Chen Village. I told myself, this teacher cannot be wrong. I signed up a 3 months course. Read more
In May of 2011 I travelled to Daqingshan for the third time; my earlier visits took place in 2007 and 2009. The purpose of this trip was to receive further instruction from my Master, Chen Zhonghua, and to offer him my support by taking part in the First International Hong Junsheng Taijiquan Seminar and Competition. While commitments back in Canada meant that this trip was shorter than previous ones, I feel I learned a great deal from this visit. Read more
We all have heard it a hundred times before, a basic principle that is hard to do.
