We are masters of tools and in return, tools also control us. Through years of teaching in North America, I have come to the conclusion that weapons and device training must be started at the beginning, not at the end. Read more

Agenda:
6:30 am – 10 Yilus
8:00 am – Examine our negative circles
Hello everyone,
after the birth of my son I like to begin slowly to practise again. But the midwife said, that I have to avoid any type of sport for the next 6 – 8 weeks. Any force which affect the pelvic floor should be avoided (lifting thinks for instance). But I think, that doing the yilu hasn`t any affection on the pelvic floor at all. But being not sure, I like to have your estimation.
Thanks a lot
Sarah

General Principles
o Peng
Peng has been one of the most talked about topics in Taijiquan. Hong defined Peng as having two meanings: one is the upward expanding action of ward-off and the other the overall combined expanding energy that permeates all moves of Taiji. It is the latter meaning of Peng that is most important to him. “Without Peng, there is no Taiji.” Read more
