TaiChi Bob,thanx,you answered more questions than you can think of.

I`m feeling less of the sensation now.I think it`s because I must be trying to feel it more.I just don`t know.I`ll give time to...

Tai`Ji Monkey,I`ll try,but it`s really difficult to focus with it calling your attention.What did you do to prevent being distracted by it?

Tai Chi Bob,as I understand,you use your Qi...

Until some days ago,I had been practicing taijiquan because it was healthy and because it was "stimulating" me to meditate.But when (SPECIALLY,not only)I was doing Hands Like Clouds,I felt that the...

Ok,the thread got a little philosophical,but I think I got the picture as a whole.We don`t have a literal translation because:
1-It`s not necessary to translate the name to try and better understand...

"Quan" means fist?!So the --MOST-- accurate translation would be "very extreme fist" or some such?

What`s TJQ`s "exact" translation?I was told it meant "strong center"or also "firm center"and ONLY that,but it doesn`t make much sense for me,because I know Quan(or also Chuan) means "boxe",so,if this...

Agree with Emptyfist.There are no movements.The so-called master just stand there with open hands while the guy goes flying.The concept of chi I got --please correct me if I`m wrong--is,roughly...

Man,this is a real pitty.Imagine,you righteously defend yourself and then,you`re arrested because of that!I support the doctor`s reaction,and I think I`d have done the same thing(If I had the guts...

Maybe you have to relax your muscles more.But I think it`s because you must not be used to working those specific areas.In my first class,I wasn`t all that sore,but we do different exercises.Anyhow,I...

"...the soles of the feet be soft."How do I do that?Total body relaxation,maybe?

You shouldn't need to do any special training, there are some exercises that can help though.
Yang style seems to be obsessed the doings things...

And I think I over reacted.It`s not PAIN,it`s just exaustion.But,nevertheless,it gets in the way.

Bullseye!!!!!Congrats!!!!
I do tend to do things slower,but my sifu tells me to go slower.And sometimes I do too slow because I`m learnig new moves and such.But one of my questions remains:What do I...

In another,post someone said that,in the beggining of the training,a person does not know how to use the leg muscles without tensing them.I agree,because every time I do Tui Show and sometimes tai ji...

Thank you for the suggestions,everyone!!!You were very understanding with me,and I thank you for that,too!!See you when I have more questions,or when I can help you out with some opinions or...

So,you would recomend studying these 2 MAs both in the beggining as I am,or would you recomend waiting until I have mastered the basics of tai ji?

Thanks for explainig that to me,I have never imagined there were so many sub styles!!
And please,do NOT call me Win Lu!!!:)

I may be learning tai ji history,but I`m forgetting to be polite:Thank you very much!

I`m sorry about asking,but after all,I`m still learning...

Can someone tell me what is this Yang Zhen Duo on RAF`s post?I don`t think I ever heard it before

Lin-Wu

Sorry,every taiji students in kung-fu forums!!!:o
I think I made a stereotype on tai ji students when I said they were phisically weak.What I meant is that taiji students don`t worry much about...

I`m interested in knowing more about Viet-Minh-Sau (sorry if I spelled wrong,but,as I said,I`m looking for information).I ask to anyone who knows,tell me about it.It can be only superficially,it`s...

Thanks,LC.I appreciate your suggestions and will do as suggested,but i do not intend to leave Yang Tai ji (it`s really cool and ,besides,my brother does Chen Tai ji and I dind`t like it much.although...

How are you doing,EmptyFist
First of all,I want to say that I`m also a Yang student (I know that`s not really important,it`s just that I`m proud,that`s all).Second,most people will probably laugh at...

I`m not disagreeing wiht you,nor my sifu,but it just not seem right to me.I mean,I`ve seen Aikido,and it`s very nice,but it has a lot of grabbing,and the impression I have from Tai ji is the...
