In another thread where you posted a video and later took it down you said your teacher didn't want his art out there. Were you referring to WHJ?

In China these people would be like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Stephen Curry, Lebron James, kevin Durant, and so on are in the US - I would not have the skills or money to study with these people. Since taiji is not too popular in the west and they are trying to introduce taiji here they are pretty affordable. As far as I can tell people from Chen village want people to understand how to do taiji correctly and want people to share the information. My view ...

I was lucky, i found someone who did have a lot of the answers, Those answers did not come cheap for him or for me.
from what i gather, A lot of people don't really care about application. I am totally different in that respect. My natural
disposition in life makes me question everything, "Being assumed" is just not good enough for me. I mean, Look at the time required to
get anywhere in these arts. it's just not worth it to guess, that is why I paid for private lessons.
Thanks

No, I didn't say that. You can quote me if you like, though.
I can explain anything I said to you. The only issue I see is that you don't ask.
I'm sure you're doing well, I have some of your videos, and you're on the right road. Just a few small mistakes. Maybe if we ever meet up and you're not too proud, you could ask me for some pointers.

The fall was quick and fast
the problem with making up your own analogy -- "like ball bearings" -- for example. It comes with a host of additional baggage and is missing a host of "standard additional baggage" that was intended to come along with the previous/old/in-door way of explaining things. Go too far down that path and you will end up somewhere else.
Helical gears is another one. I might as well say "A big fat stick".
Just a few small mistakes. Maybe if we ever meet up and you're not too proud, you could ask me for some pointers.

Willie, how do you like Chen Yu's method? His line seems focused on application as much as it can get. Just curious.
