I've looked at your page Louis. It's very interesting, and will have a talk with a friend of mine (kinesiologist?) before making any comment. To All : I must agree with Louis about the way i prefer to find the "xu ling ding jing". I try to keep my head, and a little even the upper part of ...

Yes Audi. I think the same. The Palm methods described by Yang Zhenduo are a way to record and to understand how the hands are expressed in the form. My poor knowledge of English language makes me writing simple sentences, and sometime it comes out something is not what i mean. I still think in ital...

Thank you Louis for the reply, i know that asking a opinion about a work done by a colleague is not properly. But for a student like me that is hungry of material and absorb everything he can put his hands over sometimes very difficult to keep the mind on the right path. Probably practising is bette...

I'm not the right person to reply to this topic, cause it needs at least one proficient in chinese, but your question about tui makes me think about another figure in the traditional form. It is "shi2 zi4 tui3". For what i read on Fu Zhongwen "Mastering Yang Style Taijiquan" (eng...

Reading Yang Jwing-Ming book give me a very different vision of that fur words. I feel more comfortable now with that concept. Thanks a lot Louis. Reading again Wiles's book, not just the ones with "chi3 cun4 fen1 hao2", give me a more professional approach to Yang Forty poems translation....

"Buon giorno anche a te" http://www.yangfamilytaichi.com/ubb/smile.gif ( Good morning to you too, Louis - plain translation ). As always you're welcome, Louis. Sometime i think that learning chinese is a *must* for a Taiji student, one istant after i see the sea of the chinese language and...

Last nite i was reading the Yang Jwing-Ming book "Tai Chi Secrets of the Yang Style" where there on of the poems of yang Ban-Hou's Forty Capters about these jins. I didn't have the book at hand so didn't remember the page number but it's easy to find. And again YJM in another book describe...

Many thanks Jerry. I hope one of these days i will be able to read chinese like you and become indipendent in that. In the meantime hope you and all the members of this forum will forgive my thirst of knowledge.( and as you see not only my chinese must be improved http://www.yangfamilytaichi.com/ubb...

I just take a look at the "Tai Chi Info - Forms" section of the site and i see a 49 move demo and competition form. I know the 40 competitive form that i read was not approved form the Yang Family as a Yang Style Form. Is this (49 postures) a Yang Family approved form? The form is at this ...

Sure. One of the most important thing i always keep in mind is to stay in the way. I mean is so easy to change our way of practice and to go away from the principles. For that every stage i do require a lot of energies, trying to focus my whole body to feel every thing i learn without losing a watch...
