Kung Fu fighting

We run across this at the Banff dojo with people who have trained in other dojo's. In a bunkai they throw one punch but then have trouble continueing the attack, the pause has been engrained. Luckily Laird (and my Tai Chi) has encouraged a flowing attack, striking with whatever weapon is closest at ...

Tai Chi newbie

Tai-Chi Chuan and Karate principles in Sports

Greetings all, Today at my soccer game I realized that my throw-in wasn't exactly the strongest, considering some of my teammates could throw the ball half the field. I got to thinking how I could improve my throw.. As I was doing my Tai-chi set. One thing lead to another and I realized if i could b...
