Sinking the Chi
At almost every workshop someone always asks Sifu. What is sinking the Chi? I can't remember the replies, except that he is always demonstrating it and showing it. This is because sinking the chi is in a way like riding a bycycle. I can tell you how to do it, i.e. feet on peddles, get a little momentum and peddle like crazy. I can even get on the bike and show you how it is done, but until you actually practice and work at riding the bike nothing will happen. After the first time you get that... read more

Without being able to touch the mast... read more

Unfortunately for them they get what they pay for and typically pick up one or two bad habits that in reality do not further their goal of learning real tai chi.

Tai Chi Ch... read more

Tai Chi Chuan - Daily - Wind River Tai Chi
What are some of the key principles that set tai chi apart from other martial arts and what is important in our practice of the art?

Our practice evolves from a core principle of body integration. Many martial arts and artists espouse this principle but few actually follow or accomplish it. By whole body integration we mean that if the little finger moves it is moved by the whole body not just the muscles in the hand or forearm. When we step the whole body is involved not just the muscles... read more
