My condoleance to Jim's family and close friends. This is tragic news indeed, we lost a pioneer of neikung and a person with a good hearth and deep knowledge. Real truthseeker, real yogi, real martial artist. May you rest in peace and roam the fields of eternal bliss. Thank you Jim. Thank you for everything. I can never repay you for all the help you gave me.

Very simple, very powerfull qigong. My favourite one

Hey Gerard thanx for the links !! I like master Wong's video's alot but he's Chen style isn't all that great. For a beginner form people can google the 19 form by Chen Xiaowang. The basic routines and the actual base of Chen taiji are the yi lu and er lu. They come in an old frame (laojia) and new frame (xinjia) version. The new frame is more complex with more coiling to teach advanced stuff. Chen Xiaowang, Chen Zhenlei, Chen Xiaoxing, Wang Xi'an, Zhu Tiancai, Chen Yu, Chen Bing etc. are good examples of masters who represent this family style. Kind regards !

Looks like a nice book yes, 200 is costy but still reasonable. Effilang do you like it ?

Nice thanx ! :-)

Rest in peace Mike Martello, a very small person but with big accomplishment in the internal martial arts. A month before he died he showed me he's laojia yi lu (Chen style) here in Antwerp .. deep and powerfull stances, relaxed, agile and peng everywhere. Impressive is all i can say. The good ones die young

Thanx for the interview !!! Gonna listen to it now, always liked Lin

Example of the 18 damo and yi jin jing practiced internally:

Thank you for the translation of the first video of GM Chen Xiaowang My sigung !

You can read it here online, i bought mine at INBI world: http://www.scribd.com/doc/22501334/Illustrated-Canon-of-Chen-Family-Taijiquan-by-CHEN-XIN If you yust begin training it's not that useful, its more about the smallframe version while most people learn the large frame. Still alot of the neikung and essence of Chen is explained ! If you yust started out this is a great book: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/1113810 And also check the blog http://chentaijiquanworld.blogspot.be
