Student review: Foundation move contains the essence of taijiquan move, knowing the requirement and seeing how it should be done helps in improving my yilu. Twist towel looks simple but doing it correctly requires coordinating different body parts in a strict sequence.
Master Chen is requesting clips of group doing yilu in landmark location of the local city as part of the Daqingshan Taijiquan festival in 2013.
The festival will be held in last week of May to inaugurate the new Taiji Square, and the plan is to present these clips on the big screen.

I would like to remind everyone (and invite those interested) that on September 24, 2012 Edmonton Full Time training will start and continue until December 21. This would be an excellent time for those who would relish this type of training and a North American location to visit Edmonton. Edmonton has few distractions to interrupt training so is ideal for learning.

One out of many important things he pointed out was that we need to become “a-emotional”, or lets say emotionally very stable, if we want to create peng energy and learn Taijiquan. Read more
