May 2023 updates

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

Long Form: “22 Step aside flying oblique to Single whip” Another big section, with some repetition but also a few significant differences that are easy to get wrong. In this video, I show the first and second variation separately so you can clearly see how the second time we do this sequence is different from the first.
Self-Defense – “Separate hands to Twist the body and kick”: Separate hands is an aggressive entry that allows for many different follow-up techniques. In this video, I demonstrate how to perform the striking and takedown hidden in Twist the body and kick after the entry.
Q&A 33 – “Do you have to become an aggressive person to effectively defend yourself”: This is a common question and the short answer is “no”. The long answer needs more nuance and background, which is what I explain there.

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

Long Form: “21 – Step back and repulse monkey to flying oblique low” This sequence also offers both something old and new. We did it once before already, but now I add a variation to the first part, to prepare you for the more advanced levels of the form.
Self-Defense – Self-Defense – Rolling thunder hand – Parry and punch – Stroke the lute: Our style is versatile in many ways and one of them is how techniques can be combined. this video shows just that: combining techniques in a tactical manner that makes sense for a specific situation.
Q&A 32 “Every touch is an attack?”: My students often hear me say this but what does it mean? There are several interpretations and levels to this concept and I explain them all here.

Here are the videos for this month:

Tai Chi Chuan self-defense theory and tactics, Part 2. in the previous video, I gave some basics on how we view self-defense and what is involved. In this month’s video, I’ll dig a bit deeper and explain additional concepts.
Q&A “What is the right speed for the forms?” Just because we do forms slowly, that doesn’t mean there is no such thing as too slow. But there is also too fast. So what is right then? In this video, I’ll give a precise answer for all our forms.
Self-defense application: Single whip. I will add three videos for this movement, explaining the main applications.
The live training session for VIP and Premium members is not planned just yet. I will send a separate message to those members soon so we can plan it.
