As the Christmas season approached, Hong Kong shimmered under dazzling festive lights, setting the perfect backdrop for a year ending workshop led by K.T. Lin and Nicholas Fung (馮嘉傑) from the Hong Kong Chen Style Taiji Practical Method (香港陳式太極實用拳法). On a pleasantly mild weekend, more than thirty dedicated practitioners from Hong Kong, Mainland China, the United States, and Canada gathered to train with Master Chen Zhonghua.
A special appreciation goes to Tim Duering and Hán Ruì (韩瑞), who traveled from Daqingshan to support the workshop. Over two transformative days, Master Chen guided participants through the core principles of the Practical Method, including foundational techniques, movement dynamics, and Yilu. Beyond the fundamentals, he also explored the deeper theory of Chen Taijiquan, offering hands-on applications and insights into the intricacies of push-hands training. |
Good workshop with students from Victoria and Seattle who made the trip. Worked on foundations and a drill to line up two dots on the body.
Emphasis on circle foundation theory/application for student starting with practical method.

The videos from the 2015 Singapore Open Exchange. This means that people from all martial art styles can come up and touch hands with the Daqingshan teachers.
Daqingshan teachers all have the dark blue t-shirt with the white Chinese writing on it.
This might look taiji to many. Indeed this is Taijiquan against all styles.

Han Rui and Tim Duehring joined Master Chen for Hong Kong 2015 workshop
Congratulations to Low Giap Thong,Lee See Seen,David Koh,Idy Cheong,Marjorie Chung, and May Chen
In numerous occasions, Master Chen talked about how to train the body as a gear box. In energy alignment, he talked about the hand and foot connection. In push hand, he instructed us not to push. Instead, push the leg and by opening the “kua” so that the energy is transmitted from foot to hand. He talked about “fill the kua”, “push the shoulder down”, “fix the two dots and hit the middle”, “indirect force/power”, etc. The words Master Chen used most in every workshop are “DON’T MOVE.” Master Chen’s teachings are like puzzle pieces in a box. We need to put these puzzles pieces together in order to see the larger picture of Practical Method. Read more
