ZT In the year 2000, I brought eight students to participate in the 1st International Taijiquan Biannual Conference in Jiaozuo [焦作], China. Facing new rules and strong opponents with rich experience and fine training, we only had one student advance into the top three. This tournament opened our eyes and showed us our shortcomings. We learned a lot, and we returned home full of ideas and enthusiasm. Back home, I spent some time in reviewing and analyzing, and we set up new training plans. Since all of our students were part time Taiji students, spending a couple of hours per week training at class, it really was like Smart wife could not cook without rice13. We could only eat rice according to the dishes or to work with the time and resources available to us, to improve our efficiency in training. First, I intensified the basic training on sinking and heaviness. Then I applied Qi Shi (expression of qi/internal energy) to push-hands training, which I acquired from Wu (Hao) style Taiji practice. This training produces a bigger airbag thus increasing the quality of the internal power. It extends the controlling range, and magnifies the quality of the Taiji State of Readiness. In 2002, I brought 12 students to participate in the 2nd International Taijiquan Biannual Conference in Jiaozuo. Before the tournament, we went to Taiji’s place of origin, Chenjiagou [陳家溝] (Chen Village), to pay our respects to Taiji’s ancestors. There we benefited greatly by receiving instruction from Master Wang Xian [王西安]. We also made great progress in this competition. We had 12 students participate, and 8 of them fought into the top four of their respective categories. The final result was two gold medals, two silver, and three bronze. One of our Canadian students ended the competition winning 71 points and losing only 6. He won the championship with these excellent scores. Observers remarked: This young Westerner really expresses the flavour of Taiji. He received a warm appreciation from the audience. In 2005, I returned to Jiaozuo with 3 students. Two students took gold and silver medals in Chen Style Taiji Forms. A third student won a silver medal in forms competition and, once again, took a gold medal in the Push Hands category. 此帖于 Oct 14th, 2009 14:55 被 mino 编辑。 原因: ZT |
