Thank you ... Dr DaLiu from 1970s for 3 years introduced me to this style in his apartment in NYCity ... It is refreshing to see your presentation ...
correct he holds a 7th degree black belt in Aikido. But the two arts are similar in principle, using soft to fight hard. Anyone seen his new show on A&E? Who knew hes been a cop for 20 years LOL.
For anyone interested i'll be presenting for the 2nd time since DC hosted by Stephan Berwick A special seminar in march 2010. The water principal will focus on explosive fajing and its usage via the silk reeling sequences presened in DVD 3 of this series.
imho taolu borns(?beginning) from tuishow. Jose Figueroa doing very well external form of classic taichi styles. Doing it good and fluidly(?) and beautiful -- is not enought!
Congratulations on this Demo, you are looking might good with your Chen form, I hope to learn from you more! I am still healing from my achilles injury, hope to see you in the future....much continued success!
I gave up my study of taichi because of a seemingly lax approach of our teacher and maybe even incompetence. I always wondered when the man (or a woman:) can take up teaching chen taichi, is there some formal initiation? I mean the form is pretty cool, but somewhat not ripe. The left shoulder sometimes gets out of place. But hey, I would love to reach this level.
Sifu Figueroa - we know each other casually from NYC. I studied Okinawan martial arts. We often ran into each other in the Bx. Good to see you have achieved expertise in your art. I applaud your success.
If it's mike martello, he's a very close dear freind with a rich martial arts background please feel free to pass it on to him and send him my best...
Yo Jose nice looking DVD The production looks good. Your Chen style form looks hot. I like the background too, reminds me of the old shaw brothers movies..lol

Excellent explanation of Tai Chi steps. So many people who start need an explanation of what to expect. It is explained very well here.
