EduardoI 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!

EduardoCalligraphy by Giankarlo Huback in my coming book, 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐢𝐣𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐁𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 :Jìn (劲): on the left side, jīn, the archaic form of “channel”, phoneme conveying a sense of flux; on the right, strength: power lì 力 that stretches jīng 经, that follows a line of transmission.Jìn is a fundamental concept in Taijiquan - it is what makes the power one develops in Taijiquan different from the strength one can get by lifting weights, for example.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/taijiquan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#taijiquan</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/taichi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#taichi</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/taichichuan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#taichichuan</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Chenjiagou" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chenjiagou</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/kungfu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kungfu</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/gongfu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gongfu</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Ottawa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ottawa</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#health</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/wellness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wellness</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/qigong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#qigong</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/chikung" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chikung</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/meditation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meditation</a>

EduardoIf one is willing to let go some of our cultural assumptions - for example, that analyzing (breaking things apart to look inside) is the one and only possible enquiry line - with enough practice it becomes clear that Taijiquan is a movement science, where the body is seen as a wholesome unit.Here you see Master Chen Yingjun demonstrating the Single Whip posture. Check out how his chest is relaxed and empty, and his stance looks dense and heavy, transmitting an impression of stability and calmness.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/taijiquan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#taijiquan</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/taichi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#taichi</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/taichichuan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#taichichuan</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Chenjiagou" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chenjiagou</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/kungfu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kungfu</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/gongfu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gongfu</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Ottawa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ottawa</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#health</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/wellness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wellness</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/qigong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#qigong</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/chikung" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chikung</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/meditation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meditation</a>

EduardoMaster Chen Yingjun, showing 搂膝 (Grab Knee) from Laojia, in the irrigation channel that gives Chenjiagou its name. Check out how even in such a low posture his weight is down, and the top of his body is relaxed and light.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/taijiquan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#taijiquan</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/taichi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#taichi</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/taichichuan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#taichichuan</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Chenjiagou" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chenjiagou</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/kungfu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kungfu</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/gongfu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gongfu</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Ottawa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ottawa</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#health</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/wellness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wellness</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/qigong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#qigong</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/chikung" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chikung</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/meditation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meditation</a>

EduardoAfter 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.
