Master: Double checking:  Aside from the Kua opening, i.e. making a line towards the opponent, the Kua also rotates?  That is it turns like a wheel along that line?  That feeling is rather strong lately. Thanks!  Nicholas

Master Chen comments:

  • You need to do one yilu before taping. Warm up is necessary as you cannot immediately get into proper action yet. This is indicated in the fact that the second half of your yilu is drastically better than the first half.
  • Front trick and rear trick: rear foot should follow up a bit.
  • Power, structure and movements are all there.
  • You can start putting more SHOW into the form now.

Meanwhile there is a little group of attendants who got into the practice quite deep in short time, and there are some more who visit my weekly classes regularly.

Hunyuan World 2004 gave participants access to an enormous wealth of essential knowledge on taijiquan. One of these gems of information relates to peng, a topic of great interest to camp participants.  As an example of the teaching available at Hunyuan World events, I share Master Chen Zhonghua’s response to students’ questions on peng, which also led to more general comments on his interpretation of taiji.
