This interview of mine appeared in The Times of West Mumbai, The Times of India ( sunday, december 4, 2011). It is on my trip to Daqingshan, Rizhao, Shandong, China in the summer of 2011 to learn Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method.
“To withdraw is to issue” is a taiji concept. To train the body to utilize levers is a method to incorporate this concept into taiji practice. In Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method system, Hong Junsheng’s aphorism “Hand out elbow in” (In with elbow without the hand; out with hand without the elbow) is the realization of this concept on the upper body; while “Sink down to grind out” is the realization of the same concept on the lower body.
Allan has asked me to share my experience, so here are some of my impressions: Read more

Here are my thoughts on this question. There are two parts to the answer:
Scot Jorgensen fought at continuous scoring in the karate system. Won silver.
The original verse is “That with shape and odor is an illusion; that without is the real thing.” I intentionally changed it to: “That with shape and odor is an illusion; that without could be real.” to:
- To see if people notice the change.
- To see if people notice the difference between the logic of the two different verses.
In our daily taiji life, we are often told, “It is not this, it is THAT!” This has been used to cover up for many of the problems in taijiquan such as in the case when the form is very bad the person will say “It is the internal aspect, not the form that matters,” “Taiji has no forms, if there is, it is empty.”
In serious taiji learning, one must first of all make sure that the form is present and is done according to the rules. Only after that one can talk about the internal aspect of the form.
This is very important in our taiji learning. When we are told to do something, it does not automatically mean something else that is similar and vice versa.
This is one of Grandmaster Hong Junsheng’s favorite sayings. It is a technical principle of his Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method system. By following this principle, many other important theoretical principles will start to manifest themselves eventually. This is the foundation of foundations in this system.
