April 2025 updates

Here is an overview of the new videos that are available for April 2025:

You now have everything you need to practice the form from start to finish. There is still more to come, but now you just have to practice.
  • Q&A 52 – You just learned the sabre form, now what? Some tips on what to do right after you finish learning the sabre form. That way, you make rapid progress and can move beyond the beginner stage of skill.

December 2024 updates

Here is an overview of the new videos that are available for December 2024:

  • 18 Sabre form – Swivel and chop to Sweeping a thousand soldiers. A small step forward in the form, but some detail work might surprise you in how difficult it is to get right (hint: alignment…)
  • Sabre drills: 06 – Swivel hiding sabre – Manipulation details and 07 Retrieving the moon from the sea The first shows some details on how to use the wrist and the second can be done as a fast-paced drill to quickly get many reps in. I show two variations.
  • Q&A 49 – Which hand forms to focus on and why? The question was asked to clear up some confusion as to how our hand forms work, what you should focus on and how.

October – November 2024 updates

Here is an overview of the new videos that are available for October and November 2024:

  • 16 Sabre form – Coiled dragon to Lying fish style and 17 Sabre form – Cloud sabre and hiding the sabre to Pierce the heart Now we get to a dynamic part of the form. It can look overwhelming at first, but I break things in detail and there is actually a lot of repetition of previously learned techniques.
  • Sabre applications: Searching the Sea 01 and Coiled dragon 01 Two applications that are best learned against a spear, so you immediately see the relation with the form.
  • Q&A 47 – What is “Zhen Chuan”? and Q&A 48 – What is “Song”? An explanation of some more Chinese concepts and terminology.
  • Live training recording October 2024 Eric graciously allowed me to record our session in which I go into detail on some corrections for the long form.

September 2024 Updates

Here is an overview of the new videos that are available for September 2024:

  • 15 Sabre form – Lying tiger style to Pierce the heart: A shorter segment, but it is important to note that there are similarities with a previous part in the form.
  • Sabre Applications – Swivel and tease the genitals 01: Many students find this technique confusing when they first learn the form. This application makes things immediately clear.
  • Q&A 46 – How to do maintenance on swords and sabres: Especially if you buy a good, but more expensive, sword or sabre, you want to take good care of it. In this video, I explain how to do so.
  • Live Training Recording – September 2024: Eric joined me for the live training and we went over some of his Long Form training.

May 2024 Updates

The updates for May have been available for over a week now, but here still is a quick overview:

  • 08 – Chop the tiger and 09 – Swallow entering its nest to Pierce the heart: As often in our style, movements in the forms are repeated. But, there can also be a small difference or variation in those repetitions. That is exactly the case here.
  • Q&A 44 – Can you train at any age or fitness level? There is a path to life-long tai chi chuan practice. In this video I give some pointers on how to do that.
  • Live Training Recording – May 2024: These sessions are open to Premium and VIP members and I very much recommend them. You can ask direct questions and I can both show the answers but also guide you through them. Or you show something you’re struggling with and I offer instant feedback and corrections.
