September 2022 updates

Here is an overview of the new videos that are available as of September 2022:

  • Long Form: 13 Pat the horse high – Turn around and kick with the heel This is the complex kicking sequence I mentioned. I break things down in detail and show an easier variation for the final technique. That way you can practice and gradually work your way up to the more difficult version.
  • Q&A 25 – Footwork in Tai Chi Chuan We use different kinds of footwork throughout the style, for varying reasons. I go over the most common ones and the reasons why we practice them.
  • Self-Defense: Applications with side step. See above why, but in this video I show examples of applying footwork to the side within several self-defense techniques.

August 2022 updates

Here is an overview of the new videos that are available as of August 2022:

  • Long form. To speed up the process of learning the Long Form, I posted two videos this month: Step up grasping bird s tail – Single whip and Wave hands in clouds. These sequences are not that complicated given what you already practiced before, but they deserve their own video to point out the differences and relevant details.
  • Q&A 24: “10.000 days of training” In this Q&A I cover an old Chinese saying that is often used to illustrate certain things about weapon training in Tai Chi Chuan. The message it tries to bring across is more nuanced than it might seem at first glance.

July 2022 updates

Here is an overview of the new videos that are available as of July 2022:

Long form. We continue with Turn body and swing fist to Step back parry and punch. Many students make a typical error in the first part and in this video I point out how to avoid it.

Self-Defense. “Rolling thunder hand – White snake spits out its tongue” This is a glimpse into the future. Rolling thunder Hand is a sub-system in our style and I will cover it in detail later. White snake spits out its tongue comes further in the form, so we haven’t seen it yet. But this way you have something to look forward to. 🙂

Q&A 23: “When should you not train” We all should train as often as is reasonable for us to do, but sometimes you shouldn’t. When exactly is that stand why? In this video, I provide multiple answers to these questions.

Live Zoom training: for VIP and Premium members will be on:

  • Sunday, August 7th at, 5PM Brussels time .

June 2022 updates

Here is an overview of the new videos that are available as of June 2022:

  • Long form. Next up in the sequence is Needle at Sea Bottom and Fan through the back. both techniques are less complex than they actually look, and I break the down into detail so you can easily follow along
  • Self-Defense – “Grasping bird’s tail 02 – Impact and more details” If you followed the previous instructional videos correctly and practiced well, it is now time to add some more details as to how to perform this technique effectively. We also add impact to the equation and I explain how that changes things.
  • “Q&A 22- What is rooting?” Some practitioners use metaphysical or far-fetched explanations for this term. In reality, it is a skill we develop when training correctly and with the right focus.

May 2022 updates

Here is an overview of the new videos that are available as of May 2022:

  • Long form. We go into detail on “Flying oblique” both the low and high version. We do this sequence twice in the long form and this is the first one. The second instance will be slightly different.
  • Self-Defense: “Self-Defense – Combination – Grasping bird’s tail – Cross hands – Step up Seven stars – Fair lady works at shuttle” is the first video in which I illustrate how easily you can combine different self-defense applications, depending on context. We are working on a specific scenario here that informs the decisions as to which techniques to use. This is one of many possible combinations.
  • Q&A 21: “Expand – contract” This concept has several explanations, related to how to perform the form but also how to apply techniques. It is easy to understand but takes some practice to perfect.
