I've met him once in Bristol, UK. I flew down from Scotland just to see with my own eyes why he's so highly regarded. As I was the only Mandarin speaking person there, he gave me a bit more instruction. Actually, i got much more than an instruction - he corrected my posture...(click here for more)
I was actually devastated after he corrected my posture. My legs were aching like they've never been before. I was sweating like a pig in spring time! And more importantly, I've realised all that I have learnt has not even scraped the surface of the real Tai Chi! After investing years of training, it was disappointing to find that out, to say the least!
On hindsight, I was really lucky to have met him. It was a turning point for me. It opened my eyes to what Tai Chi really is and can do. Knowing the theory is only part of the understanding. To fully understand tai chi, you have to know it through and through, from balls to bones (to borrow a phrase from the Matrix
). Watching a video of him does give me a lot of motivation to train up again. To aspire to get the real deal. Hopefully, the clip can do the same for you too!
