Slow motion Kungfu: Tai Chi Chuan
Recently, I have laid hands on the english translation of Yang Cheng Fu's 太极拳体用全书 (Tai Ji Quan Ti Yong Quan Shu)/The Essence and Applications of Taijiquan, by Louis Swaim, which cost me 30+bucks by the way! A high price to pay for a book of that length! But what the heck, it is a classic!
Reading through it, I found myself slowing down tremendously in practice. It can't be helped! In order to do every move correctly, following the name of the move, with the correct 意念, intention, with the correct jin, which goes through the correct pathway, which ends at the correct place, it can't be helped! I had to go slower! But the experience is totally different, it is total immersion, Total 100% Taiji!!

Wow, that's long!!!!! My legs can't stand it! Haha! Moreover, in Dong Huling's lessons, they usually do not more than 45 mins, if i didn't remember wrongly.
