Off to my first Tai Chi class. Not quite sure what to expect, so I am nervous but excited to find out.

I just got the printed proof of my book, The Little Taijiquan Manual for Beginners, from Amazon.
There's a couple of small adjustments to be made, and it will be out in a few days!

After a year of work, I’ve finished translating my book to English. I explain all the basic concepts needed to understand what Tai Chi (Taijiquan) is actually about, beyond the mystified usual common sense ideas floating around. It should be out on Amazon in a month’s time.
Here’s some of the artwork by Ian Indiano, the illustrator. Book design by Walter Mariano and Chinese calligraphy by Giankarlo Huback.

I am a Tai Chi teacher residing in Canada.

I started my professional life at 18 years old, as an Airline Pilot. When I was 29, I was introduced to Taijiquan (Tai Chi), and lived in Australia and China to learn from Master Chen Yingjun. After 10 years of indoor practice, I decided to dedicate full time to Taijiquan, and began teaching in 2008. I have hosted many seminars for my Shīfù, published a Taijiquan magazine for 9 years, taught numerous Tai Chi instructors, and supervised the certification of many others.
I have also had extensive Acupuncture training and have run an Acupunture clinic for 8 years.

I authored my first book on Taijiquan in 2021, which translation to English is finished, and will be available shortly.

Si c'est aujourd'hui surtout une discipline corps-esprit, de santé, sans risque de blessures (si pratique correcte bien accompagnée), le fondement du #taijiquan (#taichichuan) est d'abord martial. Sans cette intention (yi), ce n'est qu'une gym douce aux bienfaits limités.

Le taiji quan est plus connu comme une pratique de santé qu'un art martial. Des effets bénéfiques indiscutables ont été démontrés sur l'hypertension et l'immunité. Mais de nombreuses études sont toujours en cours et montrent des effets plus ou moins intenses sur une longue liste de maladies (source : National Institutes of Health, USA). #santé #taijiquan #taichichuan

You've heard me talk about the importance of following the teaching series in order. In this lesson, I will explain why. And I'll also describe why it's wrong.

This video is the 14th in a series of 16 that will explore each Snake & Turtle movement in a little more detail. It is a resource for beginners to learn the basic motions. Later, I will present more advanced methods of cultivation and deeper layers of skill that can emerge from this practice, step by step.
