DISCOVERY OF FOOTWORK TRAINING AID

LINK TO AID





"Lift Legs training using lower Quarter Body movement this way is very good. Jim, it should really help beginners on the footwork", Classical Tai Chi Master Stephen Hwa.
Jim Roach said: My Youtube Studio link of a video. This is my student, now a teacher, Sifu Jason Bulger doing a variation. I "discovered" it in my experimentation with lower body movement. Also "discovered" one needs to do this to 8 angles, N, NE, NW, S, SE, SW, E, W, not just front. That type of practice coincides with Classical Tai Chi Form instruction, wherein the first piece of business is teaching students to step and move in one of the 8 directions.
* Turning feet to various angles coincides with foot placement in the "Form
* Turning feet to various angles coincides with the numerous foot positions in the "kicking section".
*As you get comfortable with this, I recommend just very lightly touching (we had a tree) a surface, or wall with just the tip of a finger, even closing the eyes. A mirror is best in the beginning.
*Lightly touching with a finger is not a crutch but it is enough to help you maintain good body structure while you do this.
*This is Jason's first try, so he is bending his head too much; otherwise, the internal movement seems very good.
*Use abdominal and back muscles to lift
Master Hwa's instructions as well: "The leg lifting is accomplished by using abdominal and back muscles to lift either side of the pelvis, which in turn lifts the leg. In this case with Jason, either leg is completely relaxed since the lifting is done by internal power and not the leg muscles. The moving part is the leg and its associated abdominal and back muscles while the other parts of the body remain stationary to provide support and grounding. The Yin-yang junction may be visualized in either the right or left side of the abdomen and back region depending on which leg is lifted. One could classify this as a lower-quarter body movement. All lower body movements are from the core. This is just one example of it. Practicing with an imaginary mental picture that the legs do not end at the hip joints, but rather there is a leg extension into the core of the body has helped some students learn how to initiate lower body movements from the core."Lift Legs using lower Quarter Body movement

That was paraphrased and an excerpt from Page 5., "Internal Discipline of Tai Chi": Uncovering The Treasure: Classical Tai Chi's Path to Internal Energy & Health Paperback – May 12, 2010

THE "SECRETS" OF TAI CHI...(there are no secrets)




Let's not continue to conflate "Fajin" (a delivery of power) only with the "one-inch punch" that Tom Kostusiak is so gracefully partaking of. That Fajin "punch" which time-wise is of SHORT DURATION! As you see in the photos which also show Tom being Fajin yanked aka "longer duration" and Punch "short duration" of force. 


How do we do either or both? If there is a "secret" to success it is to be found by us in our discernment or in failure a non-discernment of small differences in sensation that we feel.  This also involves our subsequent ability or inability to both note and choose options and movement efficiency.


 In a workshop, Master Stephen Hwa said "...the amount of Fajin you can deliver is proportional to how compact you can make the delivery..."  From that I discovered  it is an established principle that the smallest difference in sensation we can discern is proportional to the magnitude of the more prominent sensation. The more prominent "larger sensation" for all of us is the much larger section of the body that is away from the much smaller area that we wish to move.


There are no secrets to Tai Chi, if you want to develop a "one-inch punch" in a hurry go home and do slow quarter body movement as a punch for 2 hours a day for a hundred days. The thing is there are slim and none people willing to do that...the "secret" is in sheer persistence for a "short duration" of time. Or you can spread it over years as a "long duration" of developing power via Tai Chi Form practice, complete with health benefits with the same persistence.


Another aspect is the idea of how the "short" seems to be contained in the "long". The "long" seems to trace a seemingly infinite number of points from which the short-burst "fajin" can emerge instantly. Points, stops, pauses, straight lines, tangents, back to points from which force can be delivered from any angle. Do your Square Form it’s loaded with “points”! 


The idea is not only to strive in short burst power from one point, but to cultivate the long which creates many more possibilities for the short. The converse is not true, the long cannot come from the short. This seems to be related to the idea that we do not show the application but the intent "Yi" when we practice "Form".  


If the application were more pronounced in the form we do, it would probably have many short-burst movements and it probably would not be good for our health due to the jarring that would occur. It seems that only in the intermediate stages of practice does one begin to realize this point more fully and really "feel" the potential for short burst anywhere, making it meaningless to strike a heavy bag, or break boards repeatedly with internal "short" to cultivate it.

Being "unprepared" for Classical Tai Chi


 This is a very thoughtful letter from Tai Chi Master Stephen Hwa to his certified teachers. In the letter, he refers to teaching "Small Circle Tai Chi" to "unprepared" students who stayed with the learning. I for one, was very "prepared" as I had studied "large circle" Tai Chi "Square Form" with a number of teachers including the Wu Family. This is not to say I did not have my own share of problems, hubris over my previous learning being one of them. One of my students, was also very prepared with those same credentials when he started Classical Tai Chi.

I see after these many years that there are even Certified Teachers who have apparently given up teaching. The chances seem good they have given up all their studies. This is one of the sad reasons I started the Classical Tai Chi of California Facebook group, to renew "loyalties". Ironically, I also see certified teachers who have left the Dynasty of Wu's Tai Chi, It makes me think perhaps "loyalty" is an Art in and of itself. "Semper Fidelis" as an Art! Well Tai Chi is a "Martial Art" after all, albeit with an "Identity Crisis" as Master Hwa addresses here:
They should take some time to view Master Hwa's Teachable course Also, seeing the truth that Internal Discipline is an ideal vehicle to teach Square Form is a great gift. For those who came "prepared" the "Square Form" is a perfect vehicle for understanding the value of teaching Internal Discipline first. Seeing the truth of all of this is indeed a gift. Those that have left have missed their "Gift"!
