Yang Family Tai Chi Discussion Board

Heaven Man Earth Taiji - US Seminar Tour, June 2012
with Adam Mizner

This is a seminar on the internal workings of taiji push hands practice, taiji form and standing. Adam Mizner's approach to traditional internal practice is widely recognized for it's direct and practical quality, marking this tour as an ideal occasion for anyone looking for high level transmission through an apt balance of feeling, drilling and critical thinking.

Thank you.

Adams' GM is Huang Sheng Shyan as well if I remember correctly. Adam is one of the few who instill Compassion into his taichi gongfu. And IMO is the way to go. The few that I know have the highest level of taichi internal gongfu.

Cheers,

I just heard about this tour, and it sounds so great, but it looks like I missed it. Will there be more like it in the future, and if so, where can I get that information so I do not miss it next time. Thanks!

Only hear mixed reviews and feelings about that guy Adam. People either love him or hate him.

he would post goofball things on his "Heaven man Earth" Facebook page like the following in ALL Caps:

"YANG FAMILY TCC IS A KNOCK DOWN ART, WE PRACTICE PUSHING HANDS AND FAJIN TO DEVELOP THIS ABILITY. IN APPLICATION THE IDEAL IS ONE TOUCH/STRIKE AND THE OPPONENT IS KNOCKED DOWN AND OUT.
MANY NOT UNDERSTANDING THAT PUSHING HANDS IS A TRAINING TOOL ALLOW THE PRINCIPLES OF STICK, ADHERE, JOIN AND FOLLOW TO BECOME A HINDRANCE INSTEAD OF A STRENGTH. MANY OTHER FORGET THE LESSONS FROM PUSHING HANDS AND HAVE NO NEIJIN ALAS THEY FIGHT WITH POOR KICKBOXING. "

he is not a spokesperson for Yang Family (never thought him as an authority of Yang taiji ever), and anyone claiming they can knock someone out with one magic strike, does not truly understand fighting. Anyone claiming such skills....is not in their right mind. I

So just for the record I don't hate the guy, but his videos, advertising, and cultish followers, makes me cringe. Buyer beware.
