This is the Urinary bladder channel and it is the Yang aspect of water element. The yin aspect of water is the Kidneys. Kidneys are as...

This clip was posted by a member on Facebook who teaches Yang Family Taiji in Latin America. It is really good and talks about Fang Song. I recommend people to watch it! Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiv8QVISwI4 from this lecture I came up with this image to piece together what he was ...

people should be able to right click and "save image as" to keep a copy of the images for themselves if they wish. (at least for PC users)

Thanks Chidragon. It is probably better not to vent my frustrations on a forum, but feel it is even worse to hold it in and allow it to burn me up inside. "Express yourself" is the saying.

Respectfully and sincerely!

I re-visited the Yang family warm-ups and found out they like to do the opposite, rather than from head to toe warm-up they do from foot to head. Which ironically (as a 3rd year student of acupuncture) reminds me of Tui-Na massage theory that working from head to toe is for helps to sedate/disperse ...

Back leg is straight but not locked. Shoulder width between feet. Forward and back feet are rooted. If feet are too...

Push hands and Da shou skills vs real people trying to knock your head off. Been studying Tai chi for 25 years now, with teachers from the lineages of Cheng man-ching, Fu Zhongwen, Jiang Yu-Keung Xiang Yang-He, Yang Zhenjie, Yang Zhendou, and Yang Jun along the way. https://youtu.be/E9wL-mc8PmU and ...

I'd like to know more about Jin Lu "intrinsic pathway" as discussed by Fu Zhong Wen in the book Mastering Yang Style. I learned some it it back in mid-90's and have reflected on it recently. I heard that maybe Tung yie jie or Chen Wei ming also wrote heavily on Jin Lu pathways as a guide f...

Is the Imperial yang Taijiquan offically recognized by the Yang Family as a branch of Yang Taiji? I did research on Imperial Yang many years ago around 2005. There are a few lineages out there and videos of their systems which have about 5 or 6 forms ranging from small frame, to middle frame, large ...
