Concept #2 There is another phrase in the Taijiquan Treatise: My opponent does not know me, I alone know him.( ). Is his statement really achievable? How can one practice taijiquan in order to approach this state? Many taijiquan masters refer to the five arrow bows in the body. Yang’s and the Chen’s had different interpretations of these five bows. Yang BanHou, the son of Yang LuChan had said that Power ) is generated from bones and Strength (Jin ) is generated from tendons and ligaments. What do all these mean?

Concept # 1 There is one very basic taijiquan concept that was mentioned in the first ever taijiquan writing, the Taijiquan Treatise, Taijiquan Lun, attributed to Wang Zongyue; this basic concept has been mentioned by almost every other taijiquan writings since then. Most taijiquan instructors will teach this concept to their students. The basic concept is xu ling ding jin (). However, what is the mean...ing of these four words? Why is this concept so important for taijiquan practitioners? What is the proper way to achieve xu ling ding jin ()? See more

I spent 10 years learning the art form of Gongyi Taijiquan (Quanjit, movement of the joints) from the only person to receive all of his knowledge his name was Kwok Tai Ng or Rock Ng I will give you the background on how this came about, this is his explanation on how and why. My family ( KwokTai Ng ) and the Wu`s were close my father was a confidant of Kungyi. As a child, I started learning taiji at 7 years old and became close to the Master and his family. Kungyi wanted to f...urther the medical understanding of the development of the Quanjit system and was aware of its deficiencies in the understanding to make it happen for the aspiring student. He identified the lack of anatomical and medical science and needed someone to acquire this knowledge and link the missing pieces. To this end, he persuaded my father to send me to medical school to acquire these skills. Why me? 1 He needed someone who already was familiar and trained in the Quanjit system 2 Someone who would not need to teach the system for a living (It would be a distraction) to pursing and pushing out the boundaries of the system. 3 Close to the Wu family so as to ensure that the family benefits from the research. 4 Being at the right place at the right time, I fulfilled all the above and the rest as they say is history So why, are we divulging such a kept secret and precious skill today? As pointed out earlier, prior to the development of the quanjit system, any achievement in this area was pretty much hit and miss, mostly misses. It took more than 50 years since its inception by Kungyi to complete a full understanding of the quanjit system and develop protocols that will ensure a high level of success in the attainment of the skill. Since its inception the world has moved on, there is no longer a need for this skill in combat life and death situations that were common then. If you want to kill someone just use a gun and you can do it from a mile away!

Be conscientious in Peng, Lu, Ji, An , upper and lower coordinate, and the opponent finds it difficult to penetrate. Whatever opponent attack with great force, ... with four liang /ounces to move thousand jin/pounds; attract forwarding into emptiness joining then out immediately, connecting sticking following but without (losing the connection) and being stuck/jam in connection Fighting hands psalm is very real do not believe anyone who says it has no meaning.It just means they don't know what the missing ingredient. The above is not the correct sequence.

There has been some thought that Gongyi`s form is elementary which is what he said himself and meant. However, he did not mean that his form should be learned first. He was referring that once you know the basics of the 13 stances and how to activate and use them that there is a lot more to come.

Gongyi Taiji is different from another taiji because we use the tendons for our source of power generated from the energy that affects our opponent.

Hi everyone I have a quiz for you today Incorrect sequence Be conscientious in Peng, Lu, Ji, An ,... upper and lower coordinate, and the opponent finds it difficult to penetrate.
