Please send all submissions to Jill Heath at [email protected] Patricia Beretta, TongRen Co-Editor [email protected] Patricia came across Tai-Chi in the mid 90’s and learnt from various instructors in Europe before studying with Steve Higgins since 2001 at Cold Mountain Internal Arts in Kitchener, Ontario, and regularly attending Sam Masich’s seminars. Gradually, Tai- Chi became a spring board for self-care, personal growth and professional development. In 2006, Patricia shifted from her Biomedical career into Shiatsu & Acupuncture therapies, and Tai- Chi teaching. With therapies and practices based on balancing Qi flow, she found an elegant clinical system and way of life. She has an original and creative approach to Tai Chi curriculum and pedagogy, based upon a background combining advanced Western medical knowledge, Traditional Chinese Medicine skills, and exercises promoting strong and free-flowing Qi. Jill Heath, TongRen Co-Editor [email protected] Jill Heath has been studying the internal arts since 1990 and has taught Taiji and Qigong in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. since 1995. She made her competition debut in 1999 with a personal best in 2001 of 3 gold and 3 bronze medals at a single tournament for form, weapons and push hands. In April Jill sword-sparring with Adriaan Blaaw 2008, at the National Canadian Kung Fu photo by Sam Masich Fellowship tournament, she received 3 gold and 2 bronze medals in 5 events (form, weapons, moving and fixed step push hands, shuijiao). She has been certified as an Associate Healing Tao instructor, Tai Chi for Arthritis instructor, Senior Level instructor (Canadian Taijiquan Federation), and is a Past President and Director of the Canadian Taijiquan Federation. She continues her studies of the internal arts and considers herself fortunate to have studied with numerous Taiji masters over the years; however, she cites Sifus Helen Wu, Nick Gracenin, and Sam Masich, as the three who have most influenced her development and added to her understanding of this internal martial art. In 2012 she was officially included in the family lineage of Sifu Helen Wu. 5 Yang-style Taijidao Applications of Fu Zhongwen by Sam Masich Brien Gallagher, Raymond Chung & Sam Masich 2011 I learned the Yang-style Taijidao Applications maître d’armes Bak Hy Tau.

In Europe, the School of Internal Arts (pseudonym) follows key principles of the ancient Chinese text The Yijinjing (The Muscle-Tendon Change Classic) “Skeleton up, flesh down”, in its online and offline pedagogy. This article draws on an ongoing ethnographic, netnographic and cross-cultural investigation of the transmission of knowledge in this atypical association that combines Taijiquan with a range of practices such as Qigong, body loosening exercises and meditation. Exploring the ideal body cultivated by the students, we describe and illustrate key (and often overlooked) body areas—namely the spine, scapula, Kua and feet, which are continually worked on in the School of Internal Arts’ exercise-based pedagogy. We argue that Neigong and Taijiquan, rather than being forms of physical education, are vehicles for adult physical re-education. This re-education offers space in which mind-body tension built over the life course are systematically Citation: Ma, X.; Jennings, G. “Hang released through specific forms of attentive, meditative exercise to lay the foundations for a strong, the Flesh off the Bones”: Cultivating powerful body for martial artistry and health.

  • Yang Family, Yang Style楊家,楊式
    Yang Family, Yang Style 楊家,楊式 by Sam Masich Frequently I am asked questions about the curriculum of Yang Style Taijiquan. What does it include? Why do some schools include material that others don’t? Why are some practices considered legitimate by some teachers but not by others? In order to understand the variances in curriculum from school to school it is first necessary to understand a few historical factors relating to the creation of this branch of Taijiquan as well as the opinions of the Yang family itself. In 1990 I had the fortune of riding with master Yang Zhenduo from Winchester, Virginia to Washington D.C. in a van filled with Tai Chi players. We were all going to the Smithsonian institute and to see the sights. It was a sunny day and everyone in the vehicle was in very good spirit after an intense, upbeat five-day workshop. The mood was relaxed and, as I was sitting close to Master Yang and his translator, I took the opportunity to ask some questions about his life in China, his impressions of America, his training and his views on Tai Chi. At some point I came to the subject of curriculum and asked him, among other things, what he thought about the 88 movement Yang Style Taijiquan San Shou (Sparring) routine. Master Yang said, "This is Yang Style Taijiquan not Yang Family Taijiquan." He went on further to explain that this was the creation of his fathers’ students and that, while it adhered well to the principles of his father’s teachings, it was not to be considered part of the Yang Family Taijiquan.

    LIFE / HEALTH & FITNESS / FITNESS & EXERCISE Top ten reasons to attend the Tai Chi Gala March 16, 2016 12:40 PM MST 2016 Tai Chi Gala Instructors Tai Chi Gala No matter what experience level you are in Tai Chi (Taiji) or any Chinese internal martial art system, there are great reasons to attend the Tai Chi Gala this June in Albany, New York. Originally founded by Grandmaster Jou Tsung Hwa and named the "Zhang San Feng Festival", this event is now organized by Jou’s disciple Master Loretta Wollering to unite Tai Chi, Bagua, Xingyi, Qigong, and other internal arts enthusiasts in a sharing spirit. There are many reasons to participate, these are the top ten: 10) The food is reasonably priced, conveniently provided onsite, abundant, and delicious. 9) The location is close to both the airport and Amtrak station and accessible to all travelers. 8) The training venue offers pleasant hotel accommodation and the training facilities are clean and comfortable. 7) Each year this event attracts more than 200 people from all over the United States as well as overseas with a variety of backgrounds and skill levels. It is a great opportunity to connect with people to exchange experiences and stories. 6) The past attendees enjoyed the non-denomination worship ceremony that helped to bring the energy of gratitude together. They said that the free time to meditate, pray, contemplate, or simply breathe deeply was spiritual. 5) The Friendship demonstration on Saturday in the past was a draw. A traditional Chinese Lion Dance from Yee’s Hung Ga Kung Fu, led by Sifu Sharif Bey will join other Sifus to provide an eye feast with various Chinese Martial Arts performances.
