The experience of training in Chenjiagou has changed in many ways over the years. In the first place it’s impossible to ignore the backdrop of the speed and scale of changes taking place in China. Within this setting, the remarkable pace of development of Chenjiagou shows no sign of slowing down. The simple dusty village that captivated me in the 1990s, seeming to have stood still in time, has been replaced by a modern vision of what the birthplace of an art as famous as Taijiquan “should” look like. With stadiums, a modern exhibition centre, Taijiquan museum and numerous Taiji themed tourist attractions. In the centre of the village the Chenjiagou Taijiquan School has also grown larger over the years. The main training hall that used to be a Spartan concrete floored empty space is now fully equipped with modern training aids including a full sized boxing ring, rows of heavy bags and a raised push hands ring.

You are about to find out that there are some people on this site who believe that striking poles or bags or trees or other solid objects has no place in real taiji training.

It’s very hard to re-program the body and mind to not tense up and it requires a lot of practice. Just the thought of hitting something with the fist will make people tense up the jaws, chest and breath.
The thing is that even if you do everything correct to produce jin, as relaxing and use whole body movement from the feet, the soon as you tense up even the slightest, you will lose that jin and replace it with muscular tension. This is why relaxing in Tai Chi must be developed through a long time of practice and controlled with awareness.

You need to get your sound effects in sync with the film
Just go to a decent boxing gym, and you see that’s the criteria to do stingy heavy punchingBao wrote:zrm wrote:Uh oh, you've used taiji to hit a heavy bag. Now you've done it.
