This sounds like good advice. Is there a particular technique or thought we should keep in mind in relaxing the dantian?

Hello, I’ve been a Chi Force member (student) since October 2022, now seven months. I have been studying tai chi seriously for about eight years with different teachers, both in live classes, and since the Covid pandemic, in online classes on Zoom. Being an inveterate bookworm, I’ve also read a lot of books on tai chi and qi gong. I feel I…

I enjoyed this article very much, and gained some insight about Master Ren and his path to tai chi. Thanks, Frances, for posting. As a young person, Master Ren was enthralled by a tai chi demonstration by Chen Xiaowang. After seeing Chen Xiaowang, Master Ren decided to learn tai chi and studied with him for 8 years, and now 40 years…

Hello again. My bad, it looks like I overlooked the link to this article on this website in the lead post on the websitee, “Why learn tai chi?” I must confess that I missed the hyperlink because the color contrast between the text of the website and the hyperlinks is very slight. Having said that, the other hyperlinks in the Why learn tai…

<div>Hey newbies:</div>

The link below is a great article about what you are getting into by studying Chen style tai chi.

I’m trying out your advice, isolating the movements, working on footwork first, then adding the upper body. Your advice helped me in figuring out the move. It is now more stable and smooth when I do it, and not off balance. I’m still working it out, but it’s much better. Thanks for the tip.

However, I keep losing my balance on 17 Jade Maiden Shuttles…
