An Interview With My Master in China

One of my friends (Will) that I met while I was in China had the opportunity to interview my master and posted the interview on his blog. I just found it yesterday and I enjoyed reading it so much that I want to give you all the chance to read it too. This will give you a little glimpse of the master that I had the incredible privilege of training with during my most recent trip to China. Feel free to check out the other stuff on Will's blog. He has done a lot of traveling and studying in China and he has some very fascinating posts on his blog. :) Enjoy!

Tai Chi Compass Wall Hanging

Traditionally cardinal directions are used to teach Tai Chi forms. It helps students understand which way to turn when moving from one movement to the next. Most forms start "facing south". Although, it is not important to face actual south, hanging this piece on a wall in your training area will help orient you. Always start your form facing this piece. If you step to the left, you have stepped East. If you then step forward, you have stepped South. If you turn right, you have turned toward the West. That is the footwork for the beginning of the Yang Style 103 Form. Using the cardinal directions makes instructions easier to follow, which makes this piece ideal for practicing Tai Chi or learning Tai Chi via distance-learning technology.
