It looks like it's worth attending. Maybe that would be an option. But I agree about learning only through books and vids. That's not really the way to go. If the camp isn't an option, it might be best to shelve it for now, as you've decided. If some of his videos strike you as particularly good, then I would love to read a review of them, if you have the time. Keep us updated. Wuji,

As for the site, just trying to find the look that clicks and I think this one will do.. for now :) I think the practical taiji thing will sit on the back burner for now. I feel kind of uncomfortable trying to learn something from just video/books as I have no first-hand experience with the instruction of the pracitical set, however my friend has commented that since I already know the chen village form, it shouldn't take me too long to learn the practical sequence. In addition, he notes the vast amounts of clear, concise instruction from Joseph Chen as another reason to learn. Still lingering on the back burner. Hi Chessman.

Your site looks different every time I check it. What did you decide about the "practical" taiji? I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Wuji,
Wow. Your site looks different every time I check it. What did you decide about the “practical” taiji? I would love to hear your thoughts on it.

The lessons learnt from these corrections normally far outweigh any other class room exposure I’ve had. I especially remember the “don’t look down” criteria. I have a tendency to look down to check the posture alignment but was always told to “feel” the posture alignment rather than judging it with my own eyes.
