A clip from the Ireland 2010 workshop.
Taiji movement is similar to movement of the umbrella top, which is controlled by the ring around its handle.
Videos below.
Master Chen:
I have a question for you. I have heard you use the term “power up” quite a bit in the context of push hands. Can you elaborate on this some more, as I am not quite clear on what this exactly is since I have not been able to meet you yet or experience this myself. Perhaps a mini-lesson would be possible.
Thanks!

This time is the third time I went to DaQingshan. I feel excited. I was lucky to have attended the first Daqingshan Chen style taijiquan practical method training course by Master Chen and Hong Sen, my father.
Brennan Toh set a new record of 150 Yilus in one day on June 26th, 2011. Two days before his taiji brother Steven Chan left. Steven previously set a record of 124 in one day. Yilu repetition is designed to train body endurance and integrity. It was said that Chen Fake did 25 yilus a day for many years consistently. Way to go, Brennan!
These notes were compiled by myself throughout the workshop held July 2-3. I have done my best to recapture important topics, therefore any inaccuracies are entirely on my behalf. The notes are presented as they were written – chronological and point form. Read more

I started learning the Practical Method from video in February of this year (2011). Because I had studied Chen Style Taijiquan since 2006 and did not have a Practical Method teacher in my area, I thought I could learn from the wealth of information and videos available on the Practical Method website.
My first videos were the Basic Foundations and Yilu (First Routine) Detailed Instructions. I have since bought the Energy Alignment videos and various Mini Lessons. I also recommend Yilu Corrections.
