THE MAGICIANS

Many come to taijiquan because they saw some masters perform incredible feats, and this mystery is what attracts them. As they start to get results from a practical approach, that mystery slowly dissipates and they loose interest, not realising that they have only just entered the door of taijiquan. More practice is now needed, for the magic and beauty come from the exquisite precision and design of the movements. Magic is no more than skills that are imperceptible.
Students also loose interest in the routine (form) when they have understood a few of the principles of taijiquan and acquired some skills. The routine is more than a sequence of applications. It is true that not all routines are equal, but a good one should contain useful information about angles, timing and strategy, based on real experience. The form is more than the sum of its parts. The form shapes us as much as we shape it. I believe a careful observation of some one doing the form can inform us about the quality of his jin.

TEN YEARS

Ten years ago, although myself a novice, I started to share Master Wu’s taijiquan system in the park to a couple of younger adepts because I thought it was an intelligent and efficient approach to the art. Two years later Luke created the Taiji Circle Page so that we could exchange and discuss ideas. A year later Tai Chi Nerang allowed us to practice at the back of their class. Others from different martial art backgrounds have since joined us and now it’s been a decade, and we continue to practice three times a week. Just a little bit of history of a small group in a small city on a big continent.
