Overall, looks like a great workshop. Its amazing that Master Chen is willing to make footage from a teaching workshop available to all. For more of the workshop material, be sure to check out part 2, part 3, and part 4 of the workshop trailers!

Wujimon #5

* 8:00 demonstration of movement vs stretch * 8:52 demonstration of stretching the kua * 9:25 Not only does Master Chen give hands-on demonstrations, he actually allows the student to touch him so they can feel what is happening in Master Chens body. This is a very rare that a Master will allow this.

[Practicalmethod]

Wujimon # 4: * 6:36 Master Chen describes the mystical nature often associated with taijiquan and then explains the practical method of how this is achieved. In the video, the ability to shift ones body in space/dimension is through the manipulation and rotation of the joints. This creates the feeling of emptiness as your opponent will not be able to push on your center if you are constantly rotating about his contact point

[Practicalmethod]

Wujimon #3: * 4:37 Master Chen is fond of using analogies and common day examples to teach student taiji principles. This is a great example of bridging the gap between eastern and western paradigms for clear, concise knowledge transfer * 5:35 the position of the elbow is of great importance. As Master Chen notes in the video, a lot of students dont pull their elbow in enough. When the elbow is IN, the shoulder joint will be in the correct position

[Practicalmethod]

From Wujimon #2: * At 1:40 into the video, Master Chen begins discussing the Rule of Thirds as noted in my previous post, Chen Zhonghua Workshop Notes Unfiltered Part 2 * 2:46 Note the detailed individual correction given to the student. Master Chen will often walk around and provide this level of instruction and correction with EACH student during the workshop

Comments from Wujimon:

Here are a couple of things I wanted to point out in video. * Throughout the video, you can see how hands-on Master Chen is with the students. This is rare to find. Also note the various methods of teaching: demonstrations, discussions, lectures, diagrams, etc. This is why I would highly recommend attending one of Master Chens workshops to anyone. In fact, he will be conducting a workshop in Wisconsin during the fall of 2010, so stay tuned!
