Q&A<div style="text-align: justify;">About 2 years ago, someone left these questions on one of my Yang Tai Chi 108 Form instruction videos on YouTube. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Q:</span></b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;">"<i>Hey, I was wondering, which type of Qi Gong meditation is best for begginers? And which ones are the most beneficial? How do I find the right one?</i>"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">These questions are some of the most common questions I receive. New practitioners are often seeking the very best Qigong for them or the best Qigong in general. I have copied my response to these questions below and I hope that this response is useful for those of you who have wondered the same things. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">A:</span></b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;">"<i>That's a great question and actually quite a huge question too. The answer depends on what you are trying to get out of your Qigong training. My favorite form of Qigong, and the one that I think every serious Taiji or Qigong practitioner should be doing regularly, is Pan Gen Qigong. </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>It is a mix of post standing Qigong, which is common in most internal martial arts, and basic circle walking from Baguazhang. It is an excellent starting place for developing a solid foundation and structure. </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>If you are just wanting to loosen up, stretch and feel more awake and alive, then something like the Baduanjin (8 Pieces of Brocade) Qigong set might be a good starting place. The most basic starting place is Zhan Zhuang Qigong which is just simple post-standing Qigong. Zhan Zhuang is usually the starting place for Qigong in most internal martial arts. </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>However, the best Qigong is the one that you will do regularly. It does not matter how much better one might be over another if you do not enjoy it/resonate with it enough to do it regularly. I would say try several different kinds that seem like they match your goals until you find one that you will look forward to practicing regularly. There are so many types of Qigong out there and it can seem really intimidating to try to find the right one. The fact is, you will never find the right one until you start trying some. It doesn't matter which one you start with, just start. You will find the right one for you eventually.</i>"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you have been wanting to learn Qigong, but you do not have an instructor in your local area, visit my YouTube channel where you will find over 300 free Qigong and Tai Chi instruction videos at </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://YouTube.com/AndrewPlitt">YouTube.com/AndrewPlitt</a>.</div>Andrew Plitthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10594830497026472894noreply@blogger.com0Portland, OR, USA45.515232 -122.678385317.204998163821152 -157.8346353 73.825465836178836 -87.5221353tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185989517742233175.post-63132362071347297672022-09-08T04:00:00.002-07:002022-09-08T04:00:00.197-07:00What is the difference between Tai Chi and Qigong? Q&A<div style="text-align: justify;">A member of my YouTube community left the following question on one of my Qigong videos:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Q:</span></b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;">"<i>What [is] the difference between Tai Chi and qigong?</i>"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This question comes up all the time, and understandably so. These terms are thrown around so frequently among practitioners of these arts that we often lose track of the fact that these are completely new terms to millions of people around the world. If this is a question you have asked, read my response below:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">A:</span></b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;">"<i>That is a great question and it is something that confuses a lot of people. The main difference is the original purpose of each art. Tai Chi was originally created as a martial art for fighting and Qigong developed many different systems for many different reasons. </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Some Qigong systems are meant to help the practitioner improve their health, others were meant to help practitioners develop power so they could be more effective martial artists, others were developed for spiritual pursuits. So, Qigong is meant to accomplish internal energy work and Tai Chi was meant to be a martial art that depends on internal energy work, which means that Tai Chi can also be used for internal energy work. </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>As the martial arts use of Tai Chi has become less popular and people have become more interested in using Tai Chi for exercise and health, Tai Chi has taken on more of a Qigong role in popular use. So, Tai Chi can be used as Qigong, but not all Qigong is Tai Chi. The main difference is that the way a person moves while practicing Tai Chi follows very specific guidelines about movement which come from the martial arts heritage of Tai Chi, but those movement principles may or may not be present in a particular Qigong set.</i>.."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Qigong" literally means "energy work" and can include a wide range of practices. Anything from sitting still and focusing on breathing or moving Qi/energy through the body, to body conditioning techniques that include repeatedly striking or being struck by hard objects, can all fall into the bucket labeled "Qigong". The important aspect of Qigong is that there is some sort of energy or breath work being done. In other words, they are exercises that include very specific mental intention, which often serves to increase interoception, or awareness within the body, and better control over various aspects of the body. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Tai Chi" (the correct pinyin spelling is Taiji) is shorthand for Tai Chi Chuan (Taijiquan). The "Chuan" (quan) portion of this name means "fist" and indicates that the subject is a fighting style. The "Tai Chi" (Taiji) portion of this name roughly refers to the concept of differentiating and integrating opposite energies. These two "opposite" energies are Yin and Yang and each has characteristics that can be seen as opposite characteristics from the other. This concept is more involved, but we do not need to go much further into it here. Integrating Yin and Yang in the body is the basis for Tai Chi movement principles and is very similar to many Qigong practices. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As I stated in my response above, the primary difference is that Tai Chi movements are based on martial art techniques and require specific movement principles to be in place for the movement to be effective as a martial art technique. Do to the internal focus present in Tai Chi practice, it can be used as a Qigong practice. So a majority of Tai Chi practice can fit into the "Qigong Bucket" as well.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You are probably starting to see that the answer is not super straightforward. The good news is, if you are wanting to practice either Tai Chi or Qigong for wellness, you can use either. Just be sure to find a good instructor to ensure you avoid injuries or improper training. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you do not have a Tai Chi or Qigong instructor in your area, stop by my <a href="http://YouTube.com/andrewplitt">YouTube channel</a> with over 300 free instruction videos that can help you get started today. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>Andrew Plitthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10594830497026472894noreply@blogger.com0Portland, OR, USA45.515232 -122.678385317.204998163821152 -157.8346353 73.825465836178836 -87.5221353tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185989517742233175.post-24932198500913464892022-09-05T04:00:00.002-07:002022-09-05T04:00:00.193-07:00What is the Most Difficult Tai Chi Move? Q&A<div style="text-align: justify;">In 2021 I received the following question on one of my YouTube videos which demonstrates the Yang Tai Chi 10 Form:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Q:</span></b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;">"<i>Andrew, random question, what do you think is the most difficult movement in tai chi -- whether it be because of balance, coordination, whatever..?</i>"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I find this question quite interesting because there are different kinds of difficultly in Tai Chi training. See my response to this question below:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">A:</span></b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;">"<i>Hmmmmmm......I am not sure I have a good answer for you. When I was teaching in-person classes it seemed that the Yang style's "Snake creeps down" movement is the one that most students would struggle with. When I was learning Lao Jia Yi Lu I would say that the "Dragon Rolling Downward" was the move I struggled with the most. </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>I think the difficultly of movements changes during the course of one's training too. Things that seem difficult before, get easier and you begin to realize that there are a lot more layers to the things that seemed simple and easy before. If we are also considering competition Taiji forms, there are plenty of acrobatic movements that are ridiculously difficult. </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>However, I would say the most difficult aspect of Taiji training is incorporating the correct movement principles into the body while training. Once that is accomplished Taiji becomes a whole new experience, but before that, it is just a lot of work that does not look impressive or flashy, and it does not really feel all that useful in the beginning and people tend to get bored with it quickly. So, rather than a specific movement, I think incorporating the correct concepts of movement into training is where the real difficulty lies in Taiji training...</i>"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We can consider several types of difficulty. There is the difficulty of performing a complex or especially athletic movement. Often this difficulty can be overcome and the movement can be performed without applying the internal principles of Tai Chi training. So the difficulty only runs so deep and depends more on physical athleticism than on Tai Chi skill. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another type of difficulty is understanding the movement principles of Tai Chi to a depth that allows you to incorporate them into every movement, whether it is something as simple as "Begin Taiji" or as demanding as "Snake Creeps Down". This level of difficulty instills a deeply transformative understanding of your own body motion and turns a movement that appears as simple as "Begin Taiji" into an entire universe of discovery. This is where the real difficulty of Taiji training lies, but it is also the most valuable and beneficial pursuit in Taiji training. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There is nothing wrong with learning, practicing, and performing impressive-looking Tai Chi movements, but if you want Tai Chi to transform you, strive to realize the Tai Chi movement principles in your body with every movement during your Tai Chi training. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you have always wanted to learn Tai Chi, but you do not have an instructor in your area, you are in luck.

Q&A<br />About a year ago I received the following question on one of my "<a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAzIKxB72CMCOedDLawWEphjNqWWbMEbL">Qigong Basics</a>" videos that discuss the the use of the Bubbling Well/Yong Chuan point:<br /><br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Q:</span></b><br />"<i>Does this have an application in martial arts?</i>"<br /><br /><br />There are so many different explanations out there about how to use the bubbling well in Tai Chi marital art applications in addition to the many opinions surrounding its usefulness in Qigong training. It is no wonder so many people find this point on the bottom of the foot to be such a confusing topic. That is why I created the video that deals specifically with the Bubbling Well and it's use in Qigong/Tai Chi. I have copied my response to this question below and I hope it helps bring some clarity on this topic.<br /><br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: medium;">A:</span></b><br />"<i>...Yes, this is a large part of developing what is called a "root" in Chinese martial arts. The upward intention at the yongquan point is meant to make your foot feel a bit like there is a vacuum in the space between your foot and the floor that makes your foot "stick" to the floor. Think of your leg as a vacuum hose and the yongquan point as the end of the hose, when you stick it on the ground, the suction of the vacuum makes the hose stick to the floor. </i><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>In reality there is no vacuum suction between your foot and the ground, obviously, but the intention of having that connection with the ground brings awareness to how your feet are interacting with the ground and it will give more solid footing which is important in martial arts. If you have ever stood on one foot and felt that the foot contacting the ground seemed to roll around so that the focus of your weight was shifting all over the bottom of your foot and it felt like your ankle was moving all over the place and changing direction every split second, you have experienced the type of instability and lack of root that the intention discussed in this video and the previous video are meant to address. </i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>That type of instability demonstrates a lack of proprioceptive awareness and a lack of integrated body movement that allows someone to control their own body, whether that is for balance in daily life activities or in martial arts. The connection of the feet with the ground is overlooked a lot in martial arts training, but when you think about the fact that having only two contact points with the ground (2 feet) is inherently unstable, it makes sense to maximize the usefulness of those contact points through specific training. </i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>Most martial arts start with footwork training, but arts that use Zhan Zhuang as a foundational practice, start with foot awareness and connection with the ground before moving on to footwork, or at least use it to supplement their footwork. This training takes away the complexity of martial arts movements and footwork, and it just lets the person practicing, focus on developing their connection with the ground. </i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>The ideal end-result is learning how to manipulate that connection as the practitioner learns martial arts movements and the feet take on a more active role. Additionally, this, along with the previous video and following video, help establish the foundation for silk reeling in Taijiquan.</i>"</div><div><br /></div><div>If you have often wondered about the role of the Bubbling Well / Yong Chuan point in Qigong or Tai Chi training you should go to my "<a href="https://youtu.be/W46jNWd_sRQ">Bubbling Well / Yong Chuan Point</a>" Qigong Basics video for detailed, free information. </div><div><br /></div><div>If you are interested in learning more about Silk Reeling, which was mentioned at the end of my response to the question, you should check out my <a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAzIKxB72CMDnjcr4T-g-q1G-yRWi_9T2">Silk Reeling playlist on my YouTube channel</a>. </div>Andrew Plitthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10594830497026472894noreply@blogger.com0Portland, OR, USA45.515232 -122.678385317.204998163821152 -157.8346353 73.825465836178836 -87.5221353tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185989517742233175.post-88492684359822089522022-09-02T04:00:00.003-07:002022-09-02T04:00:00.166-07:00Quad Tension During Zhan Zhuang Qigong: Q&A<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">About a year ago, one of my YouTube channel viewers left the following question on one of my videos:</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Q:</span></b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;">"<i>My right quad muscle feels more tense than my left during zhan zhuang, how do I fix this?</i>"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Difficulties like the one described in this question are extremely common among Qigong and Tai Chi practitioners. One of the primary reasons to train Zhan Zhuang Qigong is to help a practitioner become aware of imbalances in the body so they can be corrected. I have copied my response to this question below and it is my hope that it well be helpful for anyone out there who is struggling with a similar problem.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">A:</span></b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;">"<i>The best thing to do is to find an instructor that can work with you in-person. That way they can observe your practice and help you adjust what needs to be adjusted. Generally when the quads are tense it has to do with shifting the weight too far forward onto the ball of the foot or tucking the sacrum too far under the body when trying to remove excess curvature from the low back (which also tends to push the weight forward onto the toes). </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Another common cause of excess quad activation is pushing forward at the inguinal crease, rather than folding the inguinal crease inward. This is often caused because too much outward (away from center) rotational force is being sent through the legs unintentionally. If only one side is feeling this, it can be due to imbalance in your structure that is causing you to compensate with the right quads, or it could be that both quads are equally over-activated, but your awareness is more drawn to your right side for any number of reasons. </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Those are all places to look when you are analyzing your structure as you practice, but without working with you in-person, there is no way for me to know which one of these issues are coming into play. I would recommend watching my "Qigong Basics" playlist. I am still posting videos to it because it is not yet complete, but the videos that discuss the correct weight distribution on the feet and the correct structure and intention in the lower body are all available.

Q&A<div style="text-align: justify;">Several month ago someone left the following questions on one of my <a href="http://YouTube.com/AndrewPlitt">YouTube videos</a>: </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Q:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"...<i>I have a few questions I was hoping you could help me with. When you do incorporate calisthenics into your training, do you do them before or after your internal arts training? Do you think it makes a difference doing them before or after? Do you do any extra cardio to supplement your internal arts training?...</i>"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are many different opinions out there about whether or not it is acceptable to practice calisthenics, cardio, or strength training exercise routines while training in internal martial arts like Tai Chi (Taiji) or Qigong (Chi Kung). Because I have received several questions similar to this one in the past, I have copied my response to this viewer's question below. It is my hope that this response will be helpful to those of you who have struggled with the same question. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">A:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"<i>Those are great questions. There are times when I practice calisthenics, strength training, or cardio before I do internal training and times when I practice those things afterwards. I do not often practice them during the same training session though. </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Typically I start my day with internal training, so any other training I do that day comes afterwards. If I am going to train them during the same session, the order entirely depends on what training I will be doing and what my goal is, because the order does make a difference. There are a couple of benefits to starting with strength training, calisthenics, or cardio prior to internal training. </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>The first is that it can act as means of priming the pump. It get your blood flowing, gets you breathing deeply, increases alertness, etc. and often, if someone feels stuck in their training or like their energy is blocked, a little cardio prior to internal training can help get things moving. </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>For something like Zhan Zhuang, especially if the practitioner is having trouble holding good alignment and they tend to use excess muscular strength and finish their sessions more tense than they started, doing some strength training ahead of Zhan Zhuang training (to make the muscles tired) forces them to rely on good structure to hold Zhan Zhuang because their muscles are too tired to do the extra work that poor structure requires. Someone has to have a good understanding of good structure prior to trying this and they have to be able to really pay attention to their alignment to avoid injuries from over-stressing joints due to poor alignment. </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>A similar approach can be used to solo form and push hands practice, but with the increased complexity of movements the risk of injury increases when following this approach and it is not really a necessary approach. I typically only use strength training ahead of internal work when I am going to be doing an extended Zhan Zhuang session, because it really helps me find errors in my structure that I might not notice easily otherwise.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Doing other types of training, following internal training, can be useful if a practitioner is wanting to practice transferring the body connection, alignment, and awareness that are developed with internal training, into other exercises/movement patterns. This can be more useful for reducing risk of injury in the other exercises. So the goal of this practice is not to enhance the internal training, but to enhance other movement patterns using the internal training as a tool. </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Aside from those uses for combining internal training with other forms of exercise, it's usually best to train them at separate times. The down sides or benefits of training them too close together is going to very from person to person. Right now, I have very little time for extra training, so I have not been doing as much cardio as I used to, but when I do cardio it typically comes in the form of bag work, since it is directly applicable to skills that I do not want to lose/want to develop further. So it takes care of two things at once and that is best for my schedule right now...</i>"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you have not visited my Youtube channel and you are looking for a great source of free Tai Chi and Qigong training videos, go to <a href="http://YouTube.com/AndrewPlitt">YouTube.com/AndrewPlitt</a> and start learning today. </div>Andrew Plitthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10594830497026472894noreply@blogger.com0Portland, OR, USA45.515232 -122.678385317.204998163821152 -157.8346353 73.825465836178836 -87.5221353tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185989517742233175.post-20793475443973210802022-08-31T23:35:00.003-07:002022-08-31T23:35:59.628-07:00Should I Practice Other Martial Arts if I Cannot Practice Tai Chi? Q&A<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A few years ago someone posted the following question on one of the videos on my <a href="http://YouTube.com/andrewplitt">YouTube channel</a>:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Q:</span></b> "..<i>.In your opinion, even though Wing Chun is an external art, would it be a good complimentary art for someone who has no access to a Tai Chi school? Thank you!</i>"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is a very common question and I have received several questions along these lines from people who are stuck without their ideal martial arts school in their local area. I have copied my reply to this question below and I hope it helps some of you who may be stuck in a similar situation. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">A:</span></b> "<i>That is a great question. The external vs. internal aspects of Wing Chun really depend on from whom you are learning the art. In my experience Wing Chun and Tai Chi actually complement each other very well depending on how Wing Chun is practiced. I learned Wing Chun from a master who also taught Tai Chi, which is probably why I have this perspective.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>I found that training Wing Chun deepened my understanding of Tai Chi and Training in Tai Chi deepened my understanding of Wing Chun, but I had a master who could help me build the bridges between the two arts. Ip Man was a proponent of training the Siu Lim Tao form in a slow, relaxed manner, similar to the way Tai Chi forms are practiced, to develop a deeper understand of the structure, the power generation, and the art of Wing Chun. That seems to suggest the presence of an important internal component to Wing Chun. </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>I do not think most Wing Chun schools focus on that internal component, though. There are schools that do a good job of teaching the appropriate mix of hardness and softness in Wing Chun so a person can move fluidly and adapt to an opponent. Those are the schools that will most likely aid in your Tai Chi training. </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>There are also schools that get very hard and rigid with their Wing Chun and that rigidity can come at the expense of sensitivity to what the opponent is doing. That type of training would be the opposite to what you would do in Tai Chi training. However, that harder training would give you a perspective that you may not encounter otherwise. </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>When I was first starting in martial arts, I really wanted to learn Shaolin and be the next Jet Li (such are the dreams of adolescent boys), but the only martial art school near me was an Aikido dojo. The difference between Shaolin and Aikido is huge, but I trained there because my grandma got me a gift certificate for Christmas one year and that was all I had available to me. The Sensei was very skilled with a background in other martial arts. He had great fighting skill from previous experience in addition to his understanding of Aikido. </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Training with him and the other instructors/students at that dojo gave me an excellent foundation upon which to build the rest of my training in other arts. I can honestly say I would not want to change anything about my first venture into the martial arts beginning at that dojo. It was at that dojo where I got my first introduction to practicing Tai Chi. In other words, if you are wanting to study a particular martial art, but it is not available, do what is available. </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>You will gain experience and perspective that you probably will not encounter otherwise and those experiences will deepen your understanding when you finally get to practice the art you really want to practice. Even if the experiences you have are not necessarily what might be considered "positive" experiences, they are still experiences and they are still a source of growth and deeper understanding for future practice. That was a very long winded way of saying, "yes". I think training at the Wing Chun school near you will be beneficial for your future Tai Chi training even if that benefit is not directly linked to Tai Chi theory or movement principles. I hope that was helpful and I wish you all the best in your training! Keep me posted on your training experience.</i>"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br />Andrew Plitthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10594830497026472894noreply@blogger.com0Portland, OR, USA45.515232 -122.678385317.204998163821152 -157.8346353 73.825465836178836 -87.5221353tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185989517742233175.post-54386648617296780272021-12-19T11:04:00.003-08:002021-12-19T11:04:56.130-08:00(5) Silk Reeling: Basic Concepts Part 3.1 | Tai Chi Basics<iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/yTv3yo4cFx4" width="480"></iframe><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(13, 13, 13); color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Roboto, Noto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is the 5th video in a series which describes Silk Reeling (Chan Si Jin and Chan Si Gong), which is a vitally important aspect of Tai Chi training. The first videos of this series discuss the theory and concepts of Silk Reeling. Later videos will demonstrate Silk Reeling exercises and explain how to incorporate Silk Reeling into Tai Chi form training.
There are a lot of videos out there that teach Silk Reeling exercises without giving any in-depth understanding of what makes those exercises useful. This video series is meant to fill in the gaps.

These videos cover what Silk Reeling is, how to incorporate it into the exercises that are often called Silk Reeling, and how to apply it during your Tai Chi training. In this video a common misconception in the concept of gathering energy to the inside of the foot and releasing it to the outside of the foot is discussed. I also discuss how this concept relates to Silk Reeling. Stay tuned for the release of the second part of this video in the near future. </span></div>Andrew Plitthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10594830497026472894noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185989517742233175.post-25326647940107569302021-11-27T12:13:00.003-08:002021-11-27T12:13:37.412-08:00(2) Silk Reeling: Part 1.2 | Tai Chi Basics<iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/owPEbUTqHm0" width="480"></iframe><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>This is the second video in a series that discusses the basic concepts of Silk Reeling (Chansi) which as a necessary component of Tai Chi practice.

caret-color: rgb(13, 13, 13); color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Roboto, Noto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is the 2nd video in a series that covers the basic principles, structure, and intention that is necessary for good Standing Qigong/Zhan Zhuang Qigong practice. Because Zhan Zhuang is the exercise that instills the foundational principles of Taiji structure, on which all Tai Chi movement is based, it is very important that you have a clear understanding of what you are doing when you practice Standing Post Qigong.
Remember to practice the principles in each of these videos until it is second nature to you, before you move on to the next video in this series. Approaching your training step-by-step will give you far better results than learning all of the principles at once and trying to apply them all at once. Always build your foundation and walls before you build your roof.
