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

“实用”拳法之我见
李信明
陈中华老师在2011年7月 首期大青山国内实用拳法培训班上，幽默地讲了一个小故事，大意是有个老猎人用了一辈子猎棒，技艺精熟，每次上山打猎都收获不少。有一天有人向他推荐新式的 火枪，并演示了用法和效果； Read more

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.
Hi everybody,
I think now it’s time for a little message from Berlin. Last year in August I did change my Taijiquan classes in Berlin completely to “Practical Method”. Here are some pictures taken this summer.
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.
A simple exercise we did this morning is to experience pushing by not pushing (forward).
We are holding an Open House August 27 (Saturday) and August 28 (Sunday) from 10 am to 1 pm. Our address is 5222 – 86 street and we are giving FREE LESSONS.
Come and see what the Chen Style Practical Method as well as the Chen Style Xinyi Hunyuan Taijiquan and Qigong are all about and what we can do to to give you the best Taiji experience – ever!
Today, we have two visitors today: James Tam from Ottawa, and Kevin Sun from Winnipeg. Kevin is new to Practical Method, and he is planning to attend the Toronto September workshop.

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.

On August 10 to 11, 2011, over 60 teachers and students of the Jinan Minghu Traditional Martial Art Club led by Masters Yi Liqing, Niu Huailu and Jiang Zhoucun came to the Daqingshan International Taijiquan Training Center to inspect, guide and exchange skills. Master Jiang Zhoucun gave an impromptu lecture on taiji push hands on the invitation of master Chen Zhonghua.

(translated by Michael Koh of Singapore)
TaiJi Quan is a special and unique martial art from China. Similar to Chinese calligraphy, classics culture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, she is both profound and captivating. Causes many practitioners to train night and day, laboriously and diligently. However, the number of people who has mastered this art is like stars at dawn, far and few. My story of my Taiji journey is divided to before and after I come to know Master Chen Zhong Hua. This is my brief testimony as a show of gratitude (to Master Chen).
Michael Koh is in HK visiting us. He brought along a local friend K.V. to our usual Monday night practice. Along with K.T. and John, we practiced from 8pm to 10 pm. We did some drills and push hand, and lots of discussion on Taiji principle. I am hosting Michael in my brand spanking new place in the countryside. We talked more about Taiji till 2 in the morning before we turned in:
The rhythm to producing better taiji
