Podcast appearances and mentions of tai chi form

The use and abuse of titles in the martial arts, society and all other places beneath the ozone layer. Why is the telephone engineer called Bob and not Master Bob?

Last week we looked at how best to learn the tai chi form and this week we ask: how long does it take to learn? Maybe we should ask ourselves first, what's the rush? Check out this video if you are really in a rush to learn. One tip is to focus on transitions rather than moves and you will explore the beauty of learning with your body rather than with your ears or tongue. Every Thursday afternoon - a new episode.

Podcast 7 of the Zen Buddhist Podcasthosted by Buddha Zhen of the shaolinZEN.org Cybertemple. Buddha Zhen Shen-Lang, founder of the shaolinZEN.org CyberTemple leads Sangha Buddhist Zen lessons to be aired and brodcast over the internet discussing Chinese Chan Buddhism from the Shaolin Zen CyberTemple. Buddha Zhen reads from the Shaolin Zen CyberTemple website, the "SEMINARS" webpage. During his explanations of the various seminars he teaches each year, Buddha Zhen criticizes other martial arts styles and claims that Karate is perpetuating many mistakes that don't exist in Kung Fu and Tai Chi. Buddha Zhen also explains why he is no longer a master spearmaker and swordsmith. Since the 911 tragedy, postal rates have skyrocketed to the point that the postage to send a spear in the mail is more than the cost of the spear. He apologizes to his many loyal customers who have relied on him to create custom swords, spears, and Chinese classical weapons. The online weapon weapon catalog of Shaolin Chi Mantis at shaolinCOM.com is primarily for his students, whom he can deliver his custom made weapons to at his classes and seminars. Buddha Zhen discusses his various seminars with comments about this years' events and where to find the super discount prices he offers his students at shaolinCOM.com/events.html Push Hands Seminars Push Hands Tournaments Tai Chi Staff Seminars Tai Chi Qigong Seminars Tai Chi Tournament Seminars Combat Taiji Seminars are all briefly exlained with a plea to his online audience to help him create "...interactive seminars..." that will be live with questions and comments being provided by his internet audience. Buddha Zhen teases the audience with a few hints of his "3D Buddhist CyberTemple" that is being developed. The podcast ends with an 8-track demo recording by American Zen, "Kung Fu Cowboy," featuring Coyote making the "clip-clops" of horses with his tongue.

In dieser Geschichte aus meinen frühen Tagen als Tai Chi-Lehrerin erzähle ich von einer Schülerin, die trotz mangelnder Körperkoordination und trotz eines sehr schlechten Gedächtnisses jedes Angebot von mir rigoros ausschlug, es ihr einfacher zu machen. Auch wenn sie doppelt so lange wie der Rest des Kurses brauchte, um eine Tai Chi-Form zu lernen, gab sie niemals auf. Am Ende lehrte sie mich, wie wichtig es ist, beim Lehren den Raum offen zu halten anstatt zu versuchen, ihn für andere zu füllen. Mehr auf mindfulness-based-teacher-project.org/de.

Inspirational artist and writer Richard Crookes joins host Susan Larison Danz in a relaxed conversation about his artistic creations, spiritual journey and life in Thailand.  Richard just released a new Tai Chi Reflections card deck, a set of 48 self empowerment cards based on the body language of the Tai Chi Form.  Not intended for Tai Chi instruction, the cards provide a meditative gateway to reflection and empowerment. Richard first studied Tai Chi in the UK at the age of 29 in an intense one to one education of personal transformation with a Tai Chi master. Latterly he has studied with masters in Thailand and undergone further and varied personal development and contemplative educations. He has created the artwork for numerous book covers and is the illustrator of multiple popular card decks, including The Angels of Atlantis, Animal Whispers Empowerment Cards, Angel Heart Sigils and The Astrology Reading Cards. Richard is the artist who created The Frontier Beyond Fear artwork, and there is a bit of a story behind that, too!  Richard's web site:  RichardCrookes.co.uk Program music copyrighted by Grammy award winner Larry Seyer (LarrySeyer.com), included in this podcast with his permission.

IN the last episode we looked at the structure of the form, it's roots, it's history and the way it is taught. IN this episode, I want to focus on something else...and that is one of my favorite themes: Teaching and Learning, because its all well and good saying to students, you must learn the Form, or... I will teach you the Form...when students have major difficulties not just with the techniques - but with the process of learning too.
