He "allows" it here in the US though because even people with only 10 years of experience are calling themselves masters, despite being all that accomplished. My teacher had to convince him of that first though. You're right when you imply it's hard to do nothing too. ;-) John Minh,

I really missed a good page on Taichi for a long time. I have a good feeling eith your work I am teaching Taichi in Phuket. We do have a meditation center here and I love to combine Taichi, ChiKung and Meditation. Letting go is vital for a good practice of Tai chi. That is waht I believe. Each movement is only a movement of the present moment. Within a pure concentration - Taichi gets timeless and wonderful. Thanks for all the great articles. This is truly a discovery!

It can be difficult at times to convince others that's it really is in their best interest. Thanks for adding your 2 cents; the body definitely gets the hang of it faster than the mind. John David,

People think so much about the move they cannot move. It is like trying to get a hit in basball. You have to relax and swing, not stand there thinking about hitting the ball. I am always explaining that through practice, the body learns the movements before the mind knows it can perform it. John, I understand your post.
