I signed on to your webpage. So much amazing material. Since I can't really comment on how helpful any particular video is there I want to say here that I feel like I found a great teacher. The forms, the principles and the mind states are all covered by you. Putting the pieces together will, of course, take some time, but so much you cover give me confidence that I can "feel" my way along as I do the practice. This lesson is a good example of understanding the deeper principles. My years training and teaching aikido gives me a great foundation. In aikido it was "always moved from center (hara/dan tien). So this lesson makes a lot of sense to me.

No teacher in their right mind would teach brush knee push step, then immediately try to incorporate that movement into walking! You teach the form! They master the form! As you've also - separately - taught stepping, while they're working on mastering that and a few other basics they will learn how to walk and do that move at the same time naturally!!! And look at the arch in the teacher's spine!!! She has never practiced the stances in the style or she would know how to lengthen and straighten her spine, her style has no power!!! There is no "working on rotation power" in tai chi, the power comes from practicing the stances and using your skeletal structure from the ground! The twisting of you fascia, tendons and bones with proper stances and forms is where the real power in tai chi comes from! My master laughed at me when I thought - like she does - that there is power in that blocky, locked up looking twist she uses to put 'power' into brush knee...she has what is called: "flower fist and brocade leg"
