I spent a little bit more than two days in a seminar with Yang Jun.
That was really a great experience. First of all, Yang Jun talked a lot about the use of explosive energy. That’s pretty close to what I hear on the chen form. But the most amazing part was simply to see this man move. He demonstrated several times some simple movement, but always with a precision, a smoothness …
The seminar started on friday afternoon, with two hours on the 10 principles from Yang Cheng Fu and the three first movement from the hand form.
This day was a little bit too short for me. Common, only two movement.
Of course the day after was not the same story : 50 movements in a single day. That was rough but interesting. I took a maximum of notes on the different explanation and clarification he gave.
The third days, was the rest of the sequence.
The only thing I was not too happy with were the dozen of questions people asked. I mean, common, you are talking to one of the best taiji player in north america, don’t ask him questions on where you should look while performing Single Whip when you have so much to learn and so little time. You can ask these kind of questions to your regular teacher.
Anyway, this seminar was good but definitly too short. I guess that I could do a dozen more and still have a truck load of information to learn from each of them
