Dear Mr Chen, thank you for your instruction. A lot of instructors will talk about principles that are really concepts that is subjective like relaxation. It was a real pleasure to work with material that was based on mechanical principles and was repeatable. A real pleasure. (Miles Henderson facebook comment)

by KenHuang on 2012/02/14

I was once told that the mark of a good writer is the ability to know his reader. Claiming to be no such thing, I am feeling less guilty about writing this in a very generalized, and most likely, aimless fashion. Read more

Maple Ridge December 2011 Workshop 2

by Wilkin Ng on 2011/12/19

This time a long time student of Master Chen James Chan from Philadelphia joined us. Lots of push hand on Sunday as four students from Seattle joined us. Topics covered:

In yilu, finish the move and add one: don’t connect the moves together.
Door jam principle in push hand.
Complete your move in push hand, dont get distracted.
To execute on 45 line it feels less friction than meeting opponent force head on, but students always choose to resist and fight instead.
