Tai Chi classes in Thornhill, Dewsbury for beginners and more experienced students. This is Lee style Tai Chi as taught by the late Grandmaster Chee Soo. Instructor: Mark Popplewell 5th dengji. Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese art used to maintain and improve health and fitness. It has both Yin and Yang aspects – expect to work hard to attain peace and relaxation, suppleness, balance, confidence and grace. Modern research shows Tai Chi to be of benefit to many conditions including high blood pressure, insomnia, arthritis and type 2 diabetes. Class also includes daoyin (Chinese stretching and breathing exercises) and Kai Men (Chinese yoga and meditation). Alongside the Tai Chi form we teach Kai Men (Chinese yoga) and Daoyin (long life breathing and stretching). Sword form, staff form or Flying Hand form may be taught.

This picture was taken in 1946. The man you see is Master Li Wei, 58 years old, father of three. Li Wei doesn't train, skips morning stretches, indulges in all his favorite street food—baozi, noodles, roasted pork—and often chooses rice w**e over tea. He enjoys a feast every night, complete with multiple dishes.

So what’s his secret to such impressive results? The truth is, Master Li has none. He’s actually the one sitting in the lower left corner of the photo. As for the man standing in the middle… I have no clue who that is!

The 8 energies of tai chi plus the 5 directions, make the 13 postures. Jin 勁 is the intrinsic energy of the sinews, referred to by Chee Soo as Vitality Power.

Taijiquan energy arises from internal cultivation and is categorized into eight methods: peng, lu, ji, an, cai, lie, zhou, kao.

Peng is expansion; lu is drawing; ji is pressing; an is sinking push.

Cai is plucking/grappling, lie is splitting, zhou is striking with the elbow, kao is
striking with the torso.

The eight jins are the body of energy; the thirteen postures are its application.
