First Moving Gear-Chen Zhonghua English Instructor Class 20220304.
This is an exercise to train the first set of gears (two gears). When two gears engage and start turning against each other, we say, that the body has the ability to rotate. Before that all talk about rotation is theoretical.
The gears themselves cannot disengage. They must stay together. In taiji terms, this is called Bu Chu Ge, don't go out of the limit. It also means the body structure must be maintained.
When we want to change the distance and friction level with our opponent, we use our feet to step in and out.

We are elated to have Master Chen Zhonghua back for the annual North American Practical Method Training Camp. It has been 2 years since he has taught in person! Though, we all have greatly benefited from the Zoom lessons. At this point he is planning on physically being at the camp! However, the world is unpredictable and we would adapt accordingly (though let’s think positively).
This will be an intensive workshop welcoming students of all levels. This workshop historically has been attended by a high number of Master Chen’s disciples. This benefits the disciples in many ways and provides newer students to additional opportunities for learning. It’s definitely an atmosphere for becoming immersed in Practical Method!
Once again, the taijiquan training, lodging and dining will be at one location with one cost at the same location where we have been since 2017. This will be an intensive workshop focused on Theory, Foundations, Yilu, Push Hands and Broadsword. Disciples will take part in the instructions.
There are 32 accommodations on-site and 2 single occupancy cottages. Those slots will fill up. We will list hotels near the retreat center and allow those individuals to participate just the same as the other participants. There will also be a limited number of tents allowed to camp on the premise.
This year’s sign up and on-going camp information will occur on this post. Please don’t assume you have a bed unless it is confirmed by us.
Price:
4 nights 3 days is $630
5 nights 4 days $780

Momentum force: A force with inertia. Momentum force is simply the force generated by movement. It is an active power. Sometimes this force is unstoppable. What we usually hear is “it’s hard to gather overwhelmed water”, and “the arrow sent out” is this kind of force. In the simplest terms, we throw a stone out, and once it’s out, although in the air, we are no longer able to change its direction or force. Synonyms: active force, dynamic force. Read more

Being soft inside and hard outside is a movement principle and concept of Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method. Intuitively, the inside is soft, movable and active. The outside must be harder than the inside so that it can wrap things inside. Thus, the outside is fixed, passive, and a manifestation of the inside.
This feature is the opposite of the common sense of softness with rigidity, and needles hidden in cotton. The normal understanding of Taijiquan is that it looks soft like cotton, but there is hard steel hidden inside.
The “softness” of Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method is hardness to the extreme is softness, not softness in the ordinary sense. At this point, it is likely to be different from other Taijiquan cognition. This is also a major feature of Practical Method. Read more

Treasure in the Sleeves Assignment-Chen Zhonghua Online Lesson 20220302.
Hong Junsheng noticed that Chen Fake would put his two hands in the sleeves and move them in strange ways. He asked his master Chen Fake what he was doing. The answer was that he was training. This happened in 1930 in Beijing when Hong was a student of Chen Fake.
In those days in winter, people were heavily quilted coats with large and long sleeves. They would joint the two sleeves together to form a tube. The two hands are kept inside the tube/sleeves for warmth.
What Hong saw was Chen Fake rotating his two forearms inside the sleeves. This is the 3rd move of Change Palm Three Times (19th move of Yilu) . Hong later named this exercise Xiu Li Cang Jin, (Sleeve, inside, hide, treasure), like the English saying "Card up the sleeves".
