Thanks for responding Garry, it’s always better to go straight to a source, no?
Best of luck in your upcoming competition.
Keep the faith.
Is this one of the top-notch teacher’s you trained with? :rolleyes:
Definetly mate!
hey everyone…just my two cents…
there is a book by jou, tsung hwa titled “the Dao of taijiquan-way to rejuvenation”
I like this book for what mr. jou is trying to do. He explains that in order for a person to truly understnd taiji, the practioner must learn all of the styles. He explains the differences between styles and explains the strengths of each one. chen for the silk reeling skills and understanding jing, wu for its fighting application and yang style as being superior for its health and 100% softness capabilities. I am not posting this to have a debate about it. I would rather not get involved. I just like the book and think it makes for great reading and definitely gives a different perspective on taiji as a whole. rather than pitting style vs. style he says learn them all and take the valuable things from them. there is a lot of history and explanation in this book as well. i would like to hear thoughts from anyone who has read this book. I have found one thing to be contradictive in it…but thats a different story. there is also a section at the end where he talks about the correctness of postures with weight distribution and what not. good stuff. check it out. i got mine at a borders.
best wishes to all!!!
