Hi Folks,
We are going to be working on some tai chi videos this year and wanted your opinion.
What would be most useful product and programs for those practicing Yang Style Tai Chi or Wu Style Tai Chi? What other types of videos or products would you like to see from us – tai chi for seniors, women, neigong etc?
You can also send your comments to eainfo@energyarts.com to enter into a drawing for copy of unreleased book Bagua and Tai Chi.
We will read all of your comments and take them into account.
Stay good,
Bruce
I would love to see a Wu Short form DVD, especially if it covered Tai Chi as a meditative art.
I don’t have access to a good teacher now and am self-studying Energy Gates and Dragon and Tiger. I think that the short form would complement those nicely.
Hello Bruce:
Thank you for the reply about jun fa/ jufu-no-kata by Hidy Ochiai. It was probobly something his master had given him years ago in the Zen monastery outside of hiroshima years ago. He does not talk about his training with his father or master Kanebe Saito it is sacred to him so I respect his wishes.
I would love to see your Wu style tai chi on a dvd with martial applications and internal explanations. Perhaps you could offer a series of dvds to cover this form. I recently purchased your book on bagua/tai chi and look forward to reading it.
I remember training with you years ago. I have your book on energy gates and now have your dvd on medical chi kung. it seems I am ready to learn more from the chinese point of view or the original sources. Thanks so much for this opportunity. I reached 2nd dan with Master Ochiai and look forward to training on my own with help from your materials.
Thanks very much.
Hello,
I would love to see in-depth material that teaches one how
to develop a tai chi long form into a Taoist moving
meditation regardless of the style, etc.Ben
I am a participant in the Bagua Mastery Program. It’s incredible and enjoy practicing every day. I’d love to see a Tai Chi Mastery Program in a similar format.
Thank you!
I would appreciate a book / DVD that explains and/or demonstrates the transformational qualities of the I Ching as applied to the Wu style short form. Thank you. ruth
I was reading in the Tai Chi section for seniors that you will be offering a 2 DVD set on Wu style Tai Chi. This is really good news and will be among the first to sign up for it. This is very exciting for me personally. My hope is that you will cover some of the martial aspects and breathing methods as well in it. I recently got the book on Tai Chi and Bagua and it is very good. Although I am not a Daoist per se and am a Christian I think that all the major religions and arts have the mind of God in them and something to offer. I especially liked the stories and point by your masters on the subject, the energy diagrams and much on your own personal experience. This helps any student make it more real to them and concrete. Thanks very much and look forward to the fall.

An instructional DVD on the Wu style short form, along with some of its energetic and/or meditative properties would be AMAZING!
I would love to see something similar to the instructions for the bagua body unifications exercises. Something that covers the main postures as single movement exercise with explanations of the basic physical movements, where to open and close, which way to twist, which body part projects energy… Everything in progessive stages and best with some applications and some comments on healing and meditation. That would be a great guideline, something to look up when you’re not sure how to do it and no instructor available at the moment.
I also like the idea of John Bedosky making a Tai Chi Mastery Program as long time project.
The tai chi mastery program would be a great idea. I would also like to see a DVD showing the different static arm postures of tai chi and explaining what each one does.
I agree with you Tim; a Wu short form DVD would be great. I am also self-studying Dragon and Tiger and Energy Gates Chi Gung and live a great distance from EA instructors. I have found the materials available to be very effective for learning.
Hi Bruce,
I would like a video of the Wu style Tai Chi Chuan long form.
Hope you are well,
Brenda
In the Bagua mastery program Bruce says that he is well aware of the heavy schedule and the time constraints of most people.
I have found that because of time constraints I really like (although I am perfectly clear that they are in no ways a perfect or even good way to practice) practice Dvds with a follow along section.
Often they are the only way I can get in any practice at all as I have no time to watch seminar footage, read a manual and then design a practice program on my own.
The Dragon & Tiger Dvds with the main practice set are very good in this regard and in my opinions belong to the best Dvds avaiable on the market.
I think a lot of people would be very happy with practice along Dvds or practice along sections on Dvds.
Personally I would be very happy about a practice along Bagua Dvd (maybe warm ups, unification exercises, circle walking) or Tai Chi Dvds.
Especially nice would be a Dvd about Opening the Energy Gates in the style of the Dragon & Tiger Dvds.
I feel the Hsing I program and the Bagua Mastery program are really great but there is so much information in those Dvds that it is hard to distill a practice.
I would be very happy if we would see more practice Dvds instead of seminar Dvds. They are simply more accessible to most people and the Dragon & Tiger Dvds were certainly a giant step in the right direction.
I want to see a longer dragon and tiger form.
and for you to do a workshop in Atlanta, Ga, from time to time. i could probably make that.
Hi Bruce; I would like to see Wu Style Long Form course that included a simple DVD that just shows the form so someone could practice with as a learning tool until it was internalized. All the best in the New Year. Jeff
