I really wouldn't go so far as to say that the entire 108 traditional set is represented in the modern 24 set. I used to train wushu for some time before getting some knee injuries and then moved to...

Don't forget to add "LIquid Mind" and "Jonn Serrie" to your list of ambient soundscapes. Not as dark as some of the ambient tracks I've heard.
Hi Ao Qin.
I don't currently practice at Liang's school but I remember hearing the music briefly. From what I remember, I think it's more of a traditional type of chinese music with flutes and...
I know that TT Liang is an advocate of practing taiji to music. Basically I think he mentioned that music is "in our nature" so that practicing to music is also natural. Also, I think he mentions how...
I do a lot of standing meditation but usually done with the eyes slightly opened. Experimenting a bit with closed eyes, but I kinda like to keep my eyes opened. Anyhow, I heard of instances where...
If i'm not mistaken, when I hear the term "modern" yang I generally liken it with the standardized forms that are used for competition. This includes the 24,48, and 42 movement hand form in addition...
if you're interested in zhanzhuang, I've enjoyed the book "The Way of Energy" by Kam Lam Chuen. It's more about standing meditation.
I'd agree with most what most of kinda said. I would vote to pick one and practice that otherwise it would just be too confusing if you tried to do more than one at once. Maybe if you already had a...

Hi Chang..
I agree with what you said about distraction and such, but if felt a little different doing the form when everyone was synchronized... kinda interesting in my mind.

Hi Nexus..
I recently found a school that is also part of the TT Liang lineage where I am located, Minnesota. At first, when I observed and tried a class, I initially thought the beat counting was...
Do many of you practice taiji to music? Have music playing in the background? I ran across and article by TT Liang and found it interesting. He mentions practicing not only to music, but to the beat...
whoops.. forgot that you also asked another question. As for which one is better to start out with, I'd say the deciding factor in that would be the teacher. Go to each one and check out the class...
Sup Azure..
I would recommend training in 2 styles max only if you are familiar with one of the two already. So if you've already trained in chen taiji and want to continue, then choose taiji and...
I am not too familiar with the style, but I did have a chance to observe a class. You can see the thread I started regarding guang ping here:

ohh... i don't have any dogs, but for a while there, I thought it was a cat thing, b/c I've always thought that cats had more chi cultivation going on than dogs :) Cats are very good at relaxing and...
Interesting post! You know, for some reason, my cats always come and rub up against me and try to jump on me and stuff whenever I do standing. Do you get the same thing? My cat will like come up and...
I found out that I already had 2 of these in my collection. I checked out the undaunted wudang, and that one is pretty good. Girl goes to the wudang temple to learn some bagua. I didn't think the...
I've just heard that it's something along the lines of when you breath in, the abdomen goes in instead of expanding out and vice versa. I also heard that it could be dangerous to practice this kind...
hellzz yeah! I know i have the undauntd wudang lying around here somewhere. I will definitely check out the other movies you mentioned, especially the honor of DFX flick!
Thanks. anymore titles...
Anyone know of any old school bagua kungfu movies? I know that "the one" was out, but i was looking for old school shaw bros type stuff with bagua. I remember i had seen a couple in which shaolin was...
I love this movie. I've had a recording of it, then i bought the vhs version, and when i saw the dvd, i had to pick it up. By far, the DVD rocks! I agree with all the bio stuff, but i liked the...
Thanks for your reply, Kevin. The school in question has a website located here:

Thanks for your insight. I called the school and spoke with the head...
Hi.. I was curious if anyone has heard of this fellow. I've recently done some searches and found him affiliated with the taste of china and some qigong material. I ask b/c there is a school near...
Well.. I just observed a class today in this style. First off, it was much different from what i had expected. The interpretation of this style at this school incorporate a lot of buddhist and yogic...
