Here in this portion of the first workshop lesson from the Wee Kee Jin Workshop Series, Kee Jin enlightens us with his original and insightful take on the importance of, and changing interpretations of the Taiji Classics. Not only is this crucial aspect (of the classics/principles) sadly missing in most 'teachings' and discussions about Taiji, but even rarer still is a teacher who can practically understand and can clearly communicate the learning, internalization & understanding process of the Taiji principles to the serious student of Taiji. Such depth, understanding & detail does not just come from parroting quotes from the Taiji classics but from a deep physical/ kinesthetic & cognitive/intellectual understanding that is the product of decades of reflective dedicated, correct practice, application and teaching.
For those of you who are only interested in more casual practice/learning of Tai Chi - you don't have to reach such lofty disciplined levels to achieve such things as better health or mindfulness. So don't lose heart and give up, the significant rewards are still there for you - in direct proportion to your dedication. But remember that the closer your practice is to the Taiji principles (as outlined by the Taiji Classics), the greater these benefits are - in my opinion.
For those who are already paid subscribers to (or are interested in) the Wee Kee Jin Workshop Series, and who have expressed difficulty understanding the audio, I am in the process of adding subtitles to all the video lessons. As of this moment this lesson & the "Up & Down/Open & Close" lesson has been fully subtitled....Enjoy & practice.
