will do.

Actually, I plan on going down to Florida in February. I will definitely pay the Internal Arts Institute a visit. Good folks down there and much love for the Yang TCC too!!

Hi Bamenwubu, good to hear back from you! It sounds like you possess the right attitude and spirit in your TCC studies. There should be more students like you around with such an open mind and heart. You set a good example for others to emulate! It sounds like you had a fun and interesting visit wit...

Hey Bob,

One last note, I believe the more advanced people show up later in the evening, so if you want to see some action, after 7:00PM would be your best bet.

WB, that sounds similiar but I'm not too sure. I haven't done that particular practice so I can't say for sure. I have a feeling there is more than one way to train these concepts and practices, but then again, what the heck do I know!

Also, for those who have not read this article, I think this gets to the heart of the matter. I'm sorry to be such a copy and paste king, but it's tough for me to describe what I'm learning at this point in my development. Pushing Beyond Chi By Vincent Chu How Yang tai chi's pushing hand exercises d...

Laton, since my interpretation may be wrong or misleading, here's what Vincent Chu writes about dynamic push hands...... After one understands the characteristics of Tai Chi Chuan's neijing, the next step is to develop this incredible power. In Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan, this tangible training involv...

Wandering Brit and laton13: Do you guys also practice dynamic push hands? It seems to be the core push hands training at our school.

Wandering Brit, since I've only been there a bit under two years there is still much I do not know or even understand correctly. I can relate to where you're coming from though, I keep getting more and more stuff to practice, and I'm wondering how I'm going to find the time to fit it all in! It is q...

More on frames (from GSC website)..... Frames of The Yang Styles of Tai Chi Chuan For training in Tai Chi Chuan as a martial art, the Yang Family Members developed the 108 Lao Jia Solo Form into three major styles, each with its own distinguishing characteristics to arm the practitioner for combat. ...

Hey Bamenwubu, I can't wait to hear about your impressions with them. Check out the pictures of the Yang family on the walls, some I haven't seen elsewhere! I see them teaching the large and medium frames mostly, which is what I was referring to about the GSC/YZD differences. I think the large frame...

WB, all lessons with the Chu's are done individually, so we are expected to do "standing," as well as "waist" exercises, as part of our daily practice. I can tell you that a lot of the GSC people seem to put more of a lean (but aligned) in their postures. Some more than others, b...

Hi Bamenwubu, Have you tried the phone number off the website. By the looks of it, I don't think that website has been updated in quite a while, so they may not be checking it too often. I believe they moved the school but it is right up the street from where it use to be. They are now located on th...

Hi, I am a student of Gin Soon Chu and his sons Vincent and Gordon. I also have been down to the Florida school. If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them. The instructor in Florida is a really cool guy and very open to visitors. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by this lineage if ...
