Just very recently, there has been published a four set DVD series, so you can very easily
see more about Professor Cheng Man Ching. You can see it on the internet too, just type
in Cheng Man Ching because he is very, very well known and his students and his students'
students are around the world at this point. So why was I so excited about this learning
this Tai Chi, having this experience? It's because I was so delighted and amazed to find
that there was such a correlation, the learning process seem to be the same, all the principles
seem to be the same, having to do with balance, having to do with negative and positive. It
was almost as if what I was learning was to do calligraphy in three dimensions. And this
awareness and the nurturing of the one to the other has continued to this day. So I
am now twenty something years into my daily discipline Tai Chi Chuan, I'm fortunate enough
to be working with some very, very, marvelous teachers. I am a senior student, so at times
I get to teach which is very, very wonderful to share. And, I've also been fortunate enough
to be in the right place at the right time and learn the Sword Form. So Tai Chi starts
out as the Solo Form, which to my mind is totally analogous to the Roman Capital Alphabet,
for a whole bunch of different reasons, but learning the sword form is like taking the
pen in your hand. You know, they say that the pen is a mighty sword, well, it's sort
of like the sword is also a mighty pen. Boy, whoever feel like I'm doing calligraphy when
I use the sword. And what I found too is that the sword form helps me with certain things
in particular like my flourishing. So I'm going to be sharing flourishing with you very
soon and I hope you'll take an interest in Tai Chi Chuan.
