Hi, just a question for all who have a genuine taiji teacher.
Here are some things about my teacher, and you tell me if he is the real deal.
- forms he teaches: Yang: 24 Beijing + no repetition form, where you basically do each movement once, to practice flow
108 Yang long form
48 form - 5 schools, movements adapted to Yang style
42 form - 5 schools, each preformed as in original forms
Chen: xin jia yi lu, xin jia er lu, lao jia yi lu, lao jia er lu, chen competition form
+ weapons: sword(jian), staff and fan, both styles
- wouldn't tell exactly who he studied from, only that he did study in China
- wouldn't show applications, because, quote: "We would have a student less."
- did show push hands, though
- he does teach applications, but only after all the forms, so after 9 years of training, but I don't know any students who have gotten that far
- when asked to show the new chen fast form, said no but then said that I would see it (eventually I guess)
- the 108 form as he teaches it, contains a fast kick where you kick the palm of your hand, called double lotus I think
- so far I've learnt the 24 form only, he tought us the moves first, and at the end of the year he tought us where our eyes look and when to inhale or exhale
So, real or not real?
