My First Martial Art Training Rant
I reject the notion of qi as being a magic force used to heal or attack others. Martial arts are a physical practice. We have a century of added information on anatomy and the functional mechanics of the human body since the classic texts were penned. When dealing with the classic writings and traditional methods, I accept what is useful, adopting the scientific method to my practice.
Personal Study of Yang Tai Chi
I don’t want you to be afraid to study on your own, so it is my intent to direct you to the best material and encourage you to practice on your own. According to the good teachers, the ones we call masters and grandmasters, personal practice is the best practice. Today, more so than any time before, you can supplement that personal practice with one-on-one instruction from the best masters of this and the last generation, and in most cases all you need is a connection to the Internet.
