November 2022 updates

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

  • Long Form: “16 Swing fist to Oblique single whip” Another long section gets added as it is similar to the short form. However, this is one of those spots where it is easy to make a mistake and get lost.
  • Self-Defense: “Grasping bird’s tail to Fair lady works at shuttle” As requested, more detail of this application. Fair lady is coming up next in the long form, so I wanted to show this first application for it. The one for December will show the not-so-nice variation…
  • “Q&A 27 – How to make a fist” When I watch a practitioner do the form, it is immediately clear if he understands the applications or not. You can tell simply by the way he makes a fist.

October 2022 updates

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

  • Long Form: “14 Brush knee twist step to Pat the horse high” This is a relatively easy sequence to add to the previous one. You know all the techniques at this stage, so it is just a matter of remembering the sequence.
  • Long Form: “15 Separate hands to turn around and kick with the heel” Now comes the tricky part… This long section is identical to the one in the short form. As a result, it is easy to continue in the short form afterward, which is a mistake many beginners make. I cut the sequence off at a specific point to avoid this and help you remember the difference.
  • “Q&A 26 – Does lineage matter?” There have been many discussions about lineage over the years. In many ways, it is both important and not at all. In this video, I share my thoughts on the matter.

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 .
  • Sunday, August 28th at, 5PM Brussels time .
