"From what I've been told by teachers of the so called internal arts, The whole purpose of pushing hands (which is their version of sticking hands), is for students to ultimately learn to do it without touching. Opening and closing without giving the energy or decepting it to find the direct l...

Hi guys. My practice. At the moment. 1 hour 15 every day (whenever i can in the day) Chi kung - Yeung San Hei Kung, 35 minutes. I do 20 minutes Chi kung 1, and 15 minutes Chi kung 2. 2 is a one legged version of 1. This Chi Kung is based on the Zhan Zhuang system and is good for root and core develo...

Hi Sean, Yes, piracy is not very nice. I'm not sure what I can do, not knowing who is responsible or how to get in touch with them. Thanks for your concern. Louis As for who is responsible, apparently he's called "ASLAN ION BOGDAN". He's Romanian, and there is a Tai Chi related youtube pa...

Done.

Hi. I couldn't find a way to send this privately, so i'll post it here.

Louis, this was posted on a Tai Chi facebook page. I immediately thought "Louis won't like this". Not sure how you'd go about getting it taken down, but i'm sure you might.





regards...Sean

Hi Audi. First off, let me say that i respect your experience and your knowledge. I'm in no way trying to argue with you here. You've answered any queries i've had and i am grateful for the help i get from this site. From "The five levels of Taijiquan" by Chen Xiaowang. "Correct postu...

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you can't learn Tai Chi by watching videos. You need an instructor.

Wow.

Hi guys. First let me apologise for posting so many questions. This is the only place i know where i can get Tai chi instructors to bounce things off, so if i have a question this is the place (outside of class) i turn to. I recently saw this on facebook... "Li Ya Xuan was one of the top studen...

Just a small update (for no particular reason). I opted for Yang Jwing Ming's "Taijiquan Theory" http://www.amazon.com/Taijiquan-Theory-Dr-Yang-Jwing-Ming/dp/0940871432 It is a heafty read, but i can see from the first chapter that it will be a different book compared to the books i've rea...

Ordered.

Duō xiè Louis, duō xiè

Hi Louis, thank's for the recommendations. Can i ask a question please? I was looking up good books, and i was made aware of a book by Yang Sau chung from this site here http://www.mountainriver.co.uk/links.htm The part here "A must have, and a very difficult book, to track down; is Yeung Sau C...

Hi guys, thanks for the replies. I'll try to add more to the discussion if i can. UniTaichi, if there was anywhere where i'd expect someone to know what my user name meant, it was here :-). I will read the Paul Brennan translation when i come back from London and see what i can gleam from it, thanks...

I was discussing past training and practice with a fellow student last week, and he relayed a story of a Tai Chi style (Zhen, i believe) that used sitting meditation as part of it's system. My friend had been to different meditation retreats, including one where there was no talking for the entire t...

Hi Guys. I've just bought "Tai Chi secrets of the Yang style" by Yang Jwing Ming. This is an excellent book, and it was particularly nice to read the another Translation of Yang Ban Hou's 40 chapters. Dr Yang seems to be a very prolific writer, and at time of publication my book lists 28 b...
