Hi everyone!
I have been practicing Yang style Tai chi and qi gong for the past 5 years and recently have very much interest in the practical method.
I practice the foundations and learn the yilu choreography.
My spine structure shows major lordosis and kyphosis with forward head posture. The years of practice improved it maybe a little, but it seems that my spine would be able to be improved up to a point.
A straight spine is crucial for Tai chi capability… and every once in a while I get discouraged. I practice everyday, and it is a major part in my life, so I´m sure I would never stop.
Please shed some light, about the importance of spine alignment.
Every comment would be appreciated.
Thank you!
Alon

As a mechanical engineer and athlete who has been practicing Taijiquan (Yang Style 85 form) for several years, I was happy to discover Master Chen ZhongHua’s “Practical Method” on the Internet. I’m just thrilled about his martial art, humanity and kind to teach Taiji.

While I was still living in Hong Kong, I have started with 300 a day. John Upshaw and I have been exchanging and we decided 3 months ago to increase it to 600 a day – 3oo per leg, and log our sets on Facebook. We promised to do this until July 24. This is when Master Chen will visit Iowa for their workshop. Since then, the likes of Kelvin Ho, Tinh Thai, and Winston Wang have joined. Even my student Simon Yau has jumped in on the action! Every day, I look forward to my brothers giving me the thumbs up next to my “done”.
