  • How To Find A Tai Chi Instructor (Part 1) - This article explains the bare minimum amount of knowledge that any beginning Tai Chi teacher, style, school or method of Tai Chi should know and be able to convey in order to teach Tai Chi. Without this basic knowledge students will not be able to gain any of the real health, healing or energetic benefits of Tai Chi. Most of what is detailed here is normally taught within the first year or two of Tai Chi training and can easily be learned within the first 3 years of training.
  • How to Use Tai Chi Against Nasty Emails and Other Attacks - Tai Chi is known for slow, graceful movements. I practice Chen tai chi, which incorporates slow movements with bursts of power and speed. It's known as an "internal" art. Other martial arts that employ a lot of muscular tension and screaming (karate, TKD) are called "external" arts. When an attacker punches at an external martial artist, the punch may be blocked with a very muscular, hard block designed to do injury to the attacker. When an attacker punches at a tai chi master, the punch will not find a target. Often, the punch will be deflected by a relaxed move, causing it to miss its target and causing the attacker to go off-balance. It's called "leading into emptiness" and it's a beautiful tai chi technique.
  • There's Nothing Soft about Tai Chi - When the small tai chi master from China threw me to my basement floor, I realized the real power behind this misunderstood martial art. I laughed at how easily he threw me down. He laughed, too. I slowly picked myself up off the carpet and tried again. I stepped at him and again found myself on the floor, looking at my carpet in a whole new way. I was experiencing the power and skill of a tai chi master. Centuries ago, Grandmaster Chen Xiaoxing's ancestor created tai chi. He visited my home for a week and I spent quality time finding out first-hand why so many people misunderstand this powerful martial art. Tai Chi was not intended to be used in slow-motion by elderly people all over the world.
  • Studying Martial Arts in the Video Age - The martial arts are full of legends--tales of masters who could fling a larger opponent across a room with the flick of a finger, or masters who could defeat a crowd of martial artists without being injured.
