Don’t use hand to hold on to opponent, only grab when opportunity arises.
2011 Daqingshan Hong Junsheng Taijiquan International Conference and Competition: Levi Sowers and Gino Nasato Forms i
Steve and Chad from Victoria Island.
This shows the importance of preparation, if Steve has arrived a week before instead of the day before, his body would be more open in the fight.
Master Chen corrected Levi: “You went down, don’t do that” Fetch water is a stretch on the front leg, not moving down.
Gino is the only student doing weapon form, Steve Chan was planning to, but his peeling toe nail is still bothering him.
Many students performed Practical Method Yilus in form competition on DQS, including one from Rizhao. Below are the miniclips from my iPod, full video coming soon.

Clip from Three Way Split Lesson
Three way split will create an unmoving fulcrum point, so the principle of lever can be applied.
Full Time training is starting in Daqingshan, China and a more perfect exotic location and experience is hard to imagine. Why train Full Time in Edmonton this Fall from September 5 to December 5, 2011 then?
The Edmonton Advantage is that you will receive training from two Master’s : Chen Zhonghua and Allan Belsheim. As has been proven with this particular combination in Summer 2008 and in the Fall Program in 2010, those participating made the most progress of any of the Full Time Programs offered. These two Masters work perfectly together to provide the best possible transfer of real Taiji to the practitioner. Whether you are a beginner or have previous experience, you will be guaranteed to make great progress. Read more
