Anakin_Skywalker Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I am planning a visit to chen village and I'll be staying there for 2 yrs. If I go in September do you think I'll be learning real TaiChi Chuan? To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the highest skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the highest skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisg Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Hi Anakin, I visited Chen village last March. I only trained there for a day but the school I was at seemed pretty good. I was shown a weapon and basic empty hand form as well as some Chen style pushing hands which was pretty impressive. Whether or not it was real Tai Chi chaun is hard to say, depends on what you call real. The master at the school certainly had lineage, and the pushing hands as a fighting art certainly seemed effective. I hope this helps and good luck with your trip.

Anakin_Skywalker Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 When I say real I mean learning Tai chi as a martial art not a meditative exercise To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the highest skill.

Anbu Alex Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 a friend of mine went to china and he studued choylufut and these guys were tyle and was training in a park in China in the same style so he went to see if he can join them some he ask and then they touched his muscles and said no because they would hurt them.Moral of the story is that just because you go there dosent me that youll definately learn the stuff cause the chinese take the martial arts seriously and some train everyday cause its their job and life most ppl are lucky who are forign to trai with asian masters in china White belt for life"Destroy the enemies power but leave his life" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecrusher69 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 It's great if you can go to China and study any art from a really good teacher,but sometimes the best teachers are in your back yard.many good masters from China left already. http://www.youtube.com/user/sifumcilwrath"When the student is ready the master will appear" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
