February 2023 updates

Here is an overview of the new videos that are available as of February 2023:

  • Long Form: “19: Seven stars to Single whip” This is where the labyrinth comparison comes up again. You need to keep the segments clear in your head or you’ll end up doing the same part over and over…
  • Exercises 10 – Hip mobility: As requested, a video on how to improve your hip mobility. If you have trouble sinking into a horse stance or doing movements like Snake creeps down, this is for you.
  • Q&A 30: “Training Tai Chi without Chuan”: Most practitioners do Tai Chi and not Tai Chi Chuan. But what does the absence of the “fist” mean for the practice of the art? I cover that in this video.

December 2022 updates

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

  • Long Form: “17 Parting wild horse s mane to Parting wild horse s mane” Another longer section added in one go. These techniques look relatively easy and the sequence isn’t hard to remember. Yet many practitioners find it hard to get them right at first, so don’t let them fool you…
  • Self-Defense: “Separate hands to Parting wild horse’s mane” Now that we have covered this section in the long form, it’s good to be able to visualize one of the applications it represents.
  • “Q&A 28 – Open hand configurations” Last month covered how to make a fist, this month I talk about the different ways we use the open hand.

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.
