I totally get the intimidation part. I blame the larger tai chi community, which is full of gatekeepers and weirdos. My Substack is what you’re looking for!

Comment on Tai Chi Students — Don’t Make These 10 Mistakes by Kim McCormick

After 40+ years of endurance training and competition Tai Chi feels intimidating.i am not often intimidated.
I have been fascinated by the wisdom and discipline of ancient cultures since I was a tiny child. I am going to seek better understanding of something that leaves me feeling out of my depth, qi and shen.
In addition to learning I will practice until I gain understanding. Thank you for the gift of your time and energy.

In reply to Joy. My views have softened a bit over the years. Just try to incorporate the exercises into your daily routine. Start with whichever ones feel good, and build from there. The habit is the most important thing.

Hi, just starting this, I’m not clear what the beginning and progression is.. Is it start with the first 2 exercises and then add a new one every day until the 5th one? Or start with first 5 for 2 weeks, then 2 weeks on each stage after that? Thank you!

Comment on The Real Truth About the Small Universe Qigong by Sifu Anthony Korahais

In reply to Sandra. There are different directions. Sifu Yang Jing Ming says that the Fire Path moves qi up the back (Du) and down the front (Ren). This is the standard Small Universe (Microcosmic Orbit) discussed in this article. The Wind Path is the reverse direction: qi is drawn up the front of the body and sent down the back. Sifu Yang says this method is more cooling and is often used for grounding, calming the mind, or circulating excess heat from the upper body.

In reply to Mérida. I'm so sorry to hear that you are also a survivor of "Gary". I have spoken to several victims, but I know that there are others out there as well. Please let me know if I can support you somehow.

In reply to Warren.

Warren,
I was also a victim of this “Gary”. I heard rumors about other victims and a specific story about a woman he abused as they travelled with Sifu Wong several years ago. Anthony’s brave article helped me understand and see how bad it has been. Even though I wanted to just forget it, being silent serves de abuser. I don’t know Anthony, but I know we are talking about the same person who does not even use his real name but an alias.

Shame the abuser, not the victims, nor those who help them (us).
