Hi Everyone,
I would just like to share with you some of my experiences of the Tai Chi Chuan course in Zurich at the weekend.
The course emphasises the internal and martial art aspect of genuine Tai Chi Chuan practise. We started with Wuji stance and immediately had a beautiful chi flow. We then practised other stances and in particular the Three circle stance which is practised in Tai Chi Chuan training to develop internal force. Sifu then taught 'Grasping sparrow's tail' which is used as a combative technique against common attacks, this we put into practise effectively with each other.
One of the highlights of the course for me (and there were many) was watching Javier, who is one of Sifu's senior students and instructors in Spain, perform the Chen-style Tai Chi Chuan set. It was simply a joy to watch, Thank you so much, Javier. The performance was quite different to what I have been used to watching on TV or videos and there wasn't any mistaking Javier's internal force or combat ability.
So now I practice and practise and enjoy this great martial art.
Thank you Jeff for organising everything and thank you Sifu for your generousity of teaching.
Many blessings,
Joan.
