So thankful for your "Beginner" teachings. I'm disabled with a broken spine, but not chair bound due to wonders of modern, physical, surgical science. Now I'm working on balance, strength & reducing bad nerve pain. I believe exercises and discipline such as this will help me much more, than pills & toxins. Now I just need to practice, practice, practice. Thank you again. ❤

This is just superb, been searching for "learning powerful methods to build your Chi energy" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Fellmeroni Rudimentary Chi - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my buddy got excellent results with it.

Hi. Check out QiGong instructor Jeffrey Chand - ThinkVitality on KZfaq. Also look into Dr. Lam's Tai Chi for Health series DVD's. He has a couple of seated Tai Chi programs also. There may be someone in your area teaching his Tai Chi for Arthritis course and its well worth looking into, because the forms are modified and much easier to perform and still benefit.

Exact same story here, Mandie. This kind of injury ruins your life, your dreams and leaves you isolated & unhappy. I've been going through the excruciatingly-long process of weaning off a variety of drugs I was taking for years for the pain. All they did was help for a while, until I needed them just to maintain homeostasis, until they systematically destroyed so many aspects of my health. Qigong & Yoga have been a huge help for teaching my brain & body to control it's own nervous system again - now I'm moving forward to Tai Chi. The most important thing we can do is keep our bodies moving, stretching, breathing, circulating and aligned with the movement of the mind. Thank you for sharing this and reminding me that I'm not alone.

If you use this in real fight yourw going to get beaten up. Your hands are so far away from your head and body you can't get power to the punches, at he same time you can't block punches because your hands are too far away from your face. Try instead mma, boxing, frestling, but not this beacause this is bullshit.

I was a competitive fighter in sanshou years ago, and of course I did wushu as well, but haven’t done martial arts in many years. Since then, I was hit by a car, became disabled, and then fat and weak. So I thought, I need to do Tai Chi. Of course there are far more bad teachers than good, so I was looking for traditional training, the way I learned Chinese martial arts in the beginning. Within the first minute, I knew you were the right teacher. This is proper martial arts. I always think about keeping my head level in any martial arts.
