"When I was a young student first studying Tai Chi, I wanted a book that would be complete in its directions and explanations, a book that would show me proper breathing and the martial applications of all the Tai Chi postures, and a book that would also discuss the spiritual aspects of Tai Chi. Then, when I started teaching Tai Chi, I was faced with the dilemma of assigning a book to my students to assist them with their practice at home. I tried using all the available books, but was never really satisfied with any. I finally decided to write a book myself, one which would include all those elements that I had searched for as a young student and which would make the study of Tai Chi easier than it had been for me. . ."

TWO PERSON TAI CHI (SAN SHOU)
with Lawrence Galante & John Amira
12 minutes |
|
"People often ask me why they can't use Tai Chi Chuan for self-defense. One reason is that, in their studies, they are not given all of the pieces of the puzzle we call Tai Chi Chuan. One of those valuable pieces is the San Shou or Two Person Form.
This unique form utilizes the moves from the Yang Solo Form and applies them against an opponent. One person attacks, the other person defends; then the defender attacks and the other person defends. Thus both people are practicing moves taken from the Yang Solo Form, combined in a new and beautiful form simulating a fight between two Tai Chi experts. . ." Read more |

SMALL CROSS PLUM BLOSSOM KUNG FU
with Lawrence Galante
38 minutes |
|
Shao-lin Kung Fu is the ancient forerunner of Tai Chi Chuan. This form was originally taught to me by Grand Master Ark Wong, who was the first Chinese master to teach Kung Fu to Westerners in the United States.
Throughout China, Kung Fu has been practiced for thousands of years as a martial art, as well as an exercise to increase flexibility, coordination, strength, and health. Tai Chi masters of old first mastered basic Kung Fu forms like this one to develop their strength, speed and coordination. |
