Dong Zhong Qiu Jing (动中求静)

Dong Zhong Qiu Jing (动中求静) i.e. “Seek stillness within movement” is a fundamental principle in Tai Chi Chuan. The phrase encapsulates the harmonious integration of movement and stillness. Harmony of Movement and Stillness: The importance of maintaining an inner sense of calm and tranquility even while the body is in motion. In Tai Chi, physical movements are continuous and flowing, but…

Tai Chi in Style. Form in Family.

In this month’s article, I consider the lineage and family of 15 Goals Tai Chi, and how studying different styles of Tai Chi can be a lot like visiting your in-laws... Emergent Style in Tai Chi. Diverse and Divergent Form within the Yang Lineage.  15 Goals Tai Chi is in the Yang style, derived from the Yang family of Tai Chi Chuan Masters. Perhaps “style” is a somewhat backward way to describe…

Me sharing a Sports Tai Chi Push Hands with Master Longfei Yang. I had heard about him through a short documentary on how his Tai Chi is most closely related to Praying Mantis Kung Fu (which my father studied deeply), then I found out we had a mutual friend that brought us together. Great guy, and very open minded to experience something unfamiliar like how this sport is played, even though he has a masterful family lineage. That’s a REAL martial artist in my book. His new Kung Fu instructional video series looks dope too. Find him here: http://xwmkungfu.com/about/master-longfei/ Gratitude to @lionroarsanda for always being a martial home for me.

Some bare-knuckle, street clothes sparring with my buddy @sensei_claus as part of our @justiceforhire training a few months back. No headshots and at a relaxed pace. I only train like this with folks I really trust. Thanks @lionroarsanda for a creative home for martial arts. #MartialArts #mma #taichi #PushHands #bjj #grappling https://www.instagram.com/p/B_VA_RSpRY9/?igshid=1cytjkjddi1v6

Master Chen Bing's New Frame Second Road (Xinjia Erlu; 新架二路） In the principles of the Four Major Characteristics (四大特點 Sì Dà Tè Diǎn) in Chen Family Taijiquan, there is a discipline of "Harmonize and help the hard and soft mutually, The fast and slow are mixed mutually." (剛柔幷(相)濟 Gāng Róu Bīng(Xiàng) Jǐ, 快��相間 Kuài Màn Xiàng Jiàn) As it is shown, practicing slowness or softness is just half of Taijiquan from the yin-yang diagram. Master Chen Bing (陳炳),also known as the ‘Big Dragon (大龍)’, is a 20th generation representative of the Chen family, and 12th generation lineage leader of Chen Family Taijiquan (Tai Chi Chuan).  He is a direct descendant of Taijiquan creator Chen Wangting (陳王廷). #taichi#taichichuan#taiji#taijiquan#chentaichi#losangelestaichi#losfeliztaichi#chenjiagou#chenvillage#chenbingtaijiacademyusa#cbtausa#realtaichi#pushhands#grappling#martialarts#wushu#kungfu#shuaijiao#chenbing#boscobaek#太极拳#陈氏太极#陈家沟#美国陈炳太极院#陈炳#白承哲# (at Chen Bing Taiji Academy USA 美國陳炳太極院) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-22AYBplCW/?igshid=1fzsbjc9bro38

Chen Taiji Tuishou Fundamentals It's very common to overlook what can be learnt from fundamental drills like this one. Single-hand, horizontal circle practice helps to build peng strength, find vertical alignment and loosen the hips. All of these are essential for practicing the routine as well as push hands. Looking closely, you can see times when the movement of my hips and arm are poorly co-ordinated. A smoother rotation in the hips would correct this. Typically this happens when thinking about the movement gets in the way of doing the movement.

Medical intuitive healer Catherine Carrigan interviews Rick Barrett about how to think like a Tai Chi master. To watch the video please visit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMyqS2-nibU&t=384s Questions addressed in this interview include: How long have you been studying and teaching Tai Chi? What attracted you to it in the first place? What is Tai Chi push hands? You won many championships in Chinese martial arts tournaments in your 40s. What was your motivation to compete? What is Ting Jin? There are lots of scientific studies that describe the benefits of Tai Chi. What do you personally get from your practice? What is negative entropy? What is energetic coherence? How do you use Tai Chi to flow with life and not take the hits of stress so badly? What do you mean by Body-Mind-Spirit Integration? Is Tai Chi a martial art or a spiritual practice? What is meant by Ch’i? You say that, “Controlling your attention might be your most important superpower.” Why? What do you consider the key to getting the most from your practice? #taichi #tingjin #pushhands #RickBarrett #naturalhealing #naturalhealth #medicalintuitive #medicalintuitivehealer #energeticcoherence #energyhealing https://www.instagram.com/p/CgcumCCO7LG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If we can learn to let go of what we see, we can learn to see with the heart. To see raw intention, before it is molded by our perception. #taichi #kungfu #intention #tuishou #pushhands

Song of Split

How can we explain the energy of Split? Revolving like a flywheel, If something is thrown against it, It will be cast off at a great distance. Whirlpools appear in swift flowing streams, And the curling waves are like spirals. If a falling leaf lands on their surface, In no time it will sink from sight.

-Quoted form the Yang Family Manuscripts Collected by Li Ling-ang Trans. Douglas Wile

Earth Month 2024: A Poem

While my monthly writing for Push Hands Now is dedicated to making sense of tai chi, allow me to surrender momentarily to its mystery. World Tai Chi Day, the last Saturday of each April, arrives during Earth Month, twinning Earth Day. In this poem, I contemplate the dynamic phases of each movement, imagining these two initiatives playing together. -Ilona Bito  Song of 15G Tai Chi (Twenty Twenty…

Tired of BS Tai Chi “masters” spreading nonsense and unrealistic chi powers 🪄? Want to see the SCIENCE & STRATEGY of practical, repeatable Tai Chi that will up any martial artist’s or athlete’s game 💪? My 1ST NO BS TAI CHI SEMINAR IN AMERICA, showcasing the undeniable strengths of the sport of Push Hands (Tuishou), is now on my YouTube channel ☯️. In the US, the talent pool for Push Hands is LOW (only a handful of quality players here). That’s why this seminar is focused on Taiwanese Tai Chi World Cup style Sports Push Hands, where it’s played at the highest level. As part of my mission to spread REAL Tai Chi across the world, I share techniques you can learn in 5 minutes that traditional masters held back from Westerners for centuries. We cover a Rooting drill that makes you feel like a wall to your opponent, and more. I believe there should be NO SECRETS in martial training, as it stunts the growth of the art and of the practitioner. Even me writing this post so sensationally is part of the problem of how Tai Chi is viewed in America. I have to cut through the noise. Tai Chi is a HUMAN PERFORMANCE TOOL that helps you slow yourself down to speed up your perception, so you can receive more data within the same moment as your opponent, and then make more informed decisions. We take that skill set and apply it to high pressure scenarios, like grappling, which is why the Sport of Tai Chi Push Hands is played at explosive speeds. I have deep gratitude for folks like @mcdojolife, @fakeblackbelts, and @joerogan for highlighting the serious problem of fake “chi masters” through their hilarious videos. Those clips add fuel to the fire in my heart to share real Tai Chi and get straight to the point, as my coaches Josh Waitzkin, Dan Caulfield, @johnmachadoacademy, and @lionroarsanda did with me. Respect to the world’s best player @tuishouchen and his iconic team, and champs like @coach_mcginlay_ and @naxoencinatuishou 🙏.
