Video by Michael Winkler. New stabilized re render from Youtube
I just made it home from the workshop in Puerto Rico. I had a wonderful time, far too short. Master Chen’s teaching and guidance was exemplary as usual and much appreciated.
I met and made a lot of new friends, brothers and sisters on this path to learning Chen. A special thanks to Raul Pujol, Rafael and Olga for their kindness and hospitality. They made the trip easy and enjoyable.
I will definitely get another trip planned for the near future where we can get together for some training and more. Thanks again guy’s.
A viewer on Youtube ask this question
Is he really saying you should keep your body static like that while moving your arms and legs independently of it? That doesn’t seem to be in line with taiji principles, nor does it appear to be what is going on when he’s actually pushing someone
This is the video where the question is from, 1. The human body and machine. 2. Shoulder-torso separation. 3. Upper and lower body separation
How would you answer his comment?
