mdunkuen: With GrandMaster Yang Zhenduo we are in the presence of greatness. (like GrandMaster Ma Yuehliang, or Astor Piazzolla or Federico Fellini) One camera only, black & white, 8 mm, silent..., it doesn't matter, learn from YZD -if you can- who has been practicing for close to 75 years (he b...

I have one document stored in my computer with every word that I have been able to collect from YZD in English language since 1990. It is long and it is sometimes difficult to find in the long document some phrase or statement of what I remember YZD said. Recently I quoted from that document. Today ...

Hi Jerry: you posted on 02-26-2006 11:19 PM (quote) When you begin the form you rotate arms moving from palms facing hips to facing backwards. This is forward silk reeling. Did Teacher Yang actually ever said that or is it just your understanding? I am curious because people like me who don't unders...

I don't know any chinese. I remember what Teacher Yang Zhenduo has repeated more than often since I first met him in 1990. Some of what he said has been printed and is available: 3 quotes from tai chi Magazine: An Interview with Yang Zhenduo (1990): T'AI CHI: Is there chan ssu jing (silk reeling ene...

Jerry: I found it: Tai Chi Magazine- 1995- Vol.19 #5. Cover: Yang Zhenduo, showing “Fair Lady” Posture. From YZD “on Yang Style’s Growing Potential” Quote: He said now everyone practices the form in about 25 minutes, "but when I was training, it was about 45 minutes for the form and all the req...

Greetings Louis: This is Horacio. As always I enjoy reading your posts. I also appreciate your comment that your suggestion was not to "imply that it is orthodox or traditional taiji practice". I was reminded of Fu Zhongwen's advice. (in a moment) I would always appreciate any insights you...

Bob: One of the well known “classics” - The “Essentials of the Practice of Form and Push Hands” by Li I-yu, as translated by Lo/Inn/Amacker/Foe states: Quote: .....”Practicing the form every day is the Kung Fu (way of practicing) of knowing yourself..... Push hands is the kung fu of knowing others.....

Greetings Louis: ...”It is said that Yang Banhou transmitted this text, but I don’t think we know with certainty who authored it.” Yes. Wile’s book states in page 39 in Hard bound version: Nine Secret Transmissions on T’ai Chi Ch’uan From Wu Meng-hsia, T’ai -chi ch’uan chi chueh chu-chieh (Nine Secr...

greetings: I have just bought the Kungfu -tai chi magazine. The name of the article by Dr. Xianhao Cheng is "Taiji Comprehensive Rhymed Formula" and it is the same material that appears on "Tai Chi Touchstones" Compiled and translated by Douglas Wile; Chapter V: Nine Secret Trans...

Dear Audi: This is Horacio. It has been a long time. I always enjoy your inquiring into tcc practice and this time you brought me out of retirement. I apologize for coming late into this conversation. I would address a small part of your question: Audi said: If I recall correctly, there are notable ...

Michael:
I did not see the program. I remember hearing that Lou Reed is a student of Ren Guangy (Chen Style).
