I always find New Year a great time to rededicate myself to training. This year I am going to focus on the rooster. A big part of that is going to be golden rooster stands on one leg. Repeat it like a line technique. See how long I can hold it statically. Work on how it is used in different Tai Chi styles and other martial arts etc.
Question from my limited number of books on Chen Tai Chi I do not see this as a listed technique.
Anyone know if Chen uses it?
Also curious how many different Hsing-i rooster forms there are.
Anything else rooster in CMA anyone wants to talk about I am interested in listening.
Thanks,
Len McCoy
Also is there any material when we get to year of the rabbit?
One story about T.T. Liang that I think about when practising states that when he went to visit and learn from Taoist Monk Yang he was asked to assume that posture. The monk felt his calf and told him it was hard as wood. Then he told his disciple to do the same and had Master Liang feel it and it was soft and supple as an infant.
Some say that he went back to Cheng Man Ching and repeated the experiment and that was the cause of their falling out.
Five basic principles for the development of good Tai Chi Ch'uan skills, emphasized by Mr. Benjamin Lo, are: 1) Relaxation. 2) Separating Ying from Yang. 3) Turning the waist. 4) Keeping the body upright. And 5) Maintaining the hand like a beautiful lady s hand.
