Hi All,

For anyone interested, I thought I'd post Vincent Chu's new TCC book which just came out. It's over 350 pages and discusses the various frames and usage.
...

1 year contracts, sifu's never there, simplified forms, and Mantis is his primary art? If I was a person seriously interested in TCC study, it doesn't sound like that school is the place to do it...

I look at it this way.... Gigong is practiced to cultivate chi (build more chi) and Tai Chi Chuan is practiced to learn how to circulate and use that chi. Just practicing tai chi forms does not...

If you are ever a little more south, this guy... Dmitri Mougdus is very very good. I have seen and felt him in person, but he's in HobeSound/Stuart so that may be about 2 hours away.

I believe you are wrong there, you can definitely feel the energy in the body after "correct" TCC practice. No offense, but you just may need some more experience. Also, people in other arts...

Looks like an interesting read. I just bought the book.

thank you sir, i will read up on it.

Hi Bob,

Do you have a link for CTS that you speak of?? I would like to read more about it, so I can have a more informed opinion. I did a search but all I come up with is Carpal Tunnel System. ...

Scott Brown, I concur whole heartily. Excellent post! :)

You're welcome gabe.

Part II.


In any martial-arts strikes, technique, power, and speed are very
important elements. Without speed, one will be easily defeated by the
opponent. Without power, even profound...

Here's a great article written by my teacher that addresses this question quite nicely I believe........

Part 1.

Relaxation and Tension in Tai Chi Chuan
by Vincent Chu

There are many people...

Wow $60 bucks for twice a week is very cheap. Sounds too cheap actually. Must be a geographical thing...

Ok, my mistake.

I'm sorry you have had such a bad experience in TCC. To tell you the truth, your experience is nothing new. I know more than a few who have wasted many years and got nowhere. I...

I have to disagree with you there. The problem is that if you stand up and trade punches with a boxer, you're going to get hit, and hit hard! A good TCC man doesn't do that, he wouldn't stand in a...

Dude if you think Wong has got the TCC goods, you better think again. From what I read, he never even had a tai chi teacher, and taught himself application from a book. Wong is a kung fu guy, not...

In the Yang long form that I practice there is two side kicks, lotus kick, and about 4 front heel kicks, and there is about five different punches in the form. I don't know what you guys are talking...

Hi Bob, good stuff indeed!! I assume you teach in Orlando. I have a friend who lives up there as well, and I will inform him about you when he has the time.

Also, I have another friend who...

If you practice traditional TCC as a martial art, there should be no need to supplement it with kickboxing and such. My comments are just general observations and not a criticisism towards the...

Very well said Bob. That's the best answer to the fighting question that I have ever read. Must be all that Florida sunshine that maintains sanity.:D

I don't know Bob, I respect your opinion and experience, but I guess I see things differently. The Chen tournaments (and Yang) that I have seen are tugging, pulling, and pushing, which is mostly the...

At least my teacher made it on your list. LOL. Seriously though, I think you have a good point. A lot of tai chi people today NEVER test what they are learning outside of their own students. I...

First of all, I'm not angry at all. To each his own, but you still haven't answered my question; Where are all these Chen fighters that you are talking about?? Show me some.

I'm not putting...
