Today I met Master Wang (left) and his student 'Stone,' who is an assistant professor of Traditional Chinese Medicine. They were practicing high speed sparring techniques known as 'Push Hands' or Tui Shou. They practice Chen style Tai Ji Quan. Chen Family Old Frame is the oldest style of Tai Ji and the one from which all other styles descended. It includes such techniques as 'Cannon Fist,' 'Five Tigers Swarming Sheep,' 'White Ape Staff,' 'Silk Reeling,' and 'Leading into Emptiness.' I told them that I am studying in China for a year and asked if I could learn from them. They were very enthusiastic and welcoming. We agreed to meet every day at 8 p.m. to train.Saturday, October 11, 2008
