Hey, you can always come see him in Chicago and experiece the beautiful midwest spring while your at it <also sarcasm>.

[QUOTE=ShaolinDan;1177493]I’m confused…I am enjoying…but why are you of all people posting demos with a compliant partner? :p[/QUOTE]
Hey, I have no problems with instructionals with compliant partners, how else does one teach?
Demos tend to be complaint also because they are demos ( unless they are demos of fighting).
Besides, It was what GM Chen was saying more than what he was doing.
Do I think that GM Chen can fight?
I have no idea since I have never seen him fight or even show any fighting ability.
Does he know his Taiji? Yes. Does he know his fajing? seems like it.
[QUOTE=YouKnowWho;1177532]If CXW is asked to teach a group of CIA agencies, FBI agencies, sercet service agencies for 6 months, what kind of course will he teach?[/QUOTE]
hopefully better than a lot of the crap that has been taught to military / LE - I have an old friend who is long time judo BB, he’s an LtC working at the Pentagon now, but went through Ranger training years ago - he said most HTH stuff he had seen taught over the years was just enough to get people killed…

I have seen him put down a non compliant spontaneous attacker.
Also in Hamburg some years ago- he chen elbowed an attacker in the chest-
who had to be hospitalized. Since then he has been extremely careful about
obtaining legal waivers from participants. He knows his fajing imo- not just “Seems like it”.
Chen fajing distinguishes chen taiji from other taichi.

I’ve learned NOT to make comments on things beyond what they are.
I have never seen him fight or do fajing VS an opponent so I can only go on what I see in his demos, hence the “Seem”.
To say otherwise would be stating something I do NOT know.
Anecotal stuff is interesting, but that is really all that it ends up being (unless one knows personally and then that is a different story of course).
