Are you Getting the Health, Wellness, or Martial Art Benefits From Your Tai Chi Training That You Think You Are?
 
 
At Last, You Have at Your Disposal a Series of Resources Full of No Nonsense Specific Instructions in Plain English on How To Ensure That You Get the Most Out of Your Tai Chi Practice- Saving you Decades of Work!

 
 
Dear Friend,
 
People are always asking me what books they should read, what videos they should watch and what path they should be taking in their study of Tai Chi.  I'm not going to lie to you and say that there are no good resources available- there are- but it is difficult to know what is the right thing to get and what is not. 

*Vice President, WACIMA  

*Master Instructor under Grand Master George Xu.

*Recently highlighed in the Documentary "The Why of Tai Chi."

 
There is also a tremendous amount of misinformation available about Tai Chi- often due to people who read translations of Chinese and don't really understand what the original idea is supposed to mean!  The real problem is that most of the really good training resources are not written in English, or are written in English by somebody who doesn't really speak the language very well.
 
So here is how I have decided to help you.  I have collected a series a manuals, books, and videos from some of the best Tai Chi Practitioners in America and put them together into a logical progression that you can follow and understand. 
 
Whatever your reasons and goals for your study- these Resources will help if you
 
 
  • Are brand new to Tai Chi and want to get the basics down.
  • Have been practicing for quite a while and are looking to take the next step.
  • Are interested in how to apply proper Biomechanics to any physical activity.
  • Want to feel more chi.
  • Want to supplement your current Tai Chi practice.
  • Don't have Tai Chi available in your area- but want to begin practicing.
 
I have been involved in Tai Chi and Qigong for over 30 years. I have devoured all the translated Chinese literature on the subject. I have been to China to study Tai Chi and have had the benefit of some great Masters, including Master Derek Croley, in refining my personal practice.
 
The methods used by Master Derek Croley in “Tai Chi Made Simple” have condensed thousands of years of Chinese Tai Chi in a language easy to understand by some one who has never been exposed to the subject.
 
A good deal of the language to explain Tai Chi uses analogies unique to the Chinese culture. Forms with names like “Dragon Waves it ‘s Tail”, or “Bear Sits on a Mountain” confuses the western mind during the learning process.
 
Master Croley has adroitly cut through this confusion with his outstanding work. By exploring “Tai Chi Made Simple” one can learn Tai Chi at an extremely high level and apply it to all daily activities.
 
“Tai Chi Made Simple” is good for all levels of practice, but is particularly useful for athletes such as Runners, Cyclists and Triathletes.

I have spent years teaching Tai Chi and getting it down to a system that I can easily explain, and I have put all of this together into a series of lessons in plain English that you will understand.  
 
What you really have to learn to get on the right path with Tai Chi is      
 
1) How to build the correct body structure and then move while maintaining that structure.
 
2) How to build the sensation of chi in your body to receive and then generate force.
 
3) How to focus your intention to guide your chi and therefore your body.
 
4) How to raise and focus your spirit and then apply it to your Tai Chi practice.
 
 
Though I do recommend that you get a qualified teacher, sometimes there simply isn't one available.  Other times you have a good teacher and simply want to have some extra resources to supplement your classes.  Either way, I can help.
 

 
There are four steps to getting these informational resources. 
 
Step 1:
 
The first step for you to take is to get my FREE Tai Chi Training Tips, just fill out this form here and you will automatically get one free training tip each week directly from me.
 
Why is it free? Because I am interested in your personal improvement and the spread of authentic Tai Chi.
 
Each week you will get a free real training tip and I will also keep you abreast of one spotlighted training resource each week. By the way, your information will stay completely confidential.
 

Step 2:
 
The second step is to get my first online training manual designed to help you learn to build correct body mechanics as well as some other related resources.
 
It's called How to Ensure That You Are Getting the Most Out of Tai Chi: The Insiders Secrets and in it you will learn:
 
                                         

First: How to ensure that you are consistently getting the health, fitness, and rehabilitative benefits that you want from Tai Chi.  If you aren't doing what's written in this Manual I absolutely guarantee that you are not getting the health and wellness benefits from Tai Chi that you think you are. But don't take my word for it, ask Mary... 

 

Second: How to ensure that you can consistently have and feel real "Chi" on a regular basis. The feeling of Chi is a direct function of having everything in your body firing on all cylinders. Of course Chi is there all of the time or you would be dead, but you have to have proper structure to be able to feel it and use it.
 
Third: How to ensure that you can consistently build your body, mind, and spirit connection. I often hear people say "I'm not practicing Tai Chi for _____, I'm only interested in getting the spiritual side of it." Or the "energy" side of it, or the rehabilitation- whatever.  No matter what you are trying to get right, Tai Chi builds the body, mind, and spirit.  Each is the foundation for the next.  So you must be able to develop your physical structure in order to have the foundation for the higher levels of thought that you are interested in.  It's just that simple.  Without structure your Tai Chi is lost.
 
Fourth: How to raise your existing Tai Chi practice to the next level.  All the time I come across people who are interested in getting to the next level of training- but don't know how or can't sort through the information to find the right path.  Well, this Training Manual will be of tremendous value on your quest.  And it's in plain English so you can actually figure out what it is saying!
 
Fifth: How to ensure that you are not doing Tofu Tai Chi!  If you are a complete novice, this will give you all you need to get good at Tai Chi.  If you already practice a form of some kind, this is all you need to get good at it.  You see, it doesn't matter what kind of Tai Chi you do- I am going to share with you the authentic underlying principles of mastering any style of Tai Chi. 
 
 When I started Tai Chi with Derek Croley I had hypertension and chronic neck and shoulder pain.
 
I still have both, but am taking less medicine for my hypertension. It is under excellent control and the medication I was able to drop was the stronger one that was also giving me unpleasant side-effects.
 
I was taking Aleve each morning and evening and now I only occasionally take Ibuprofen for my neck and shoulders. These are only two of the measurable benefits I’ve experienced since starting with Derek Croley! Thanks!

This manual offers a complete explanation of everything you need to build your Tai Chi physical structure and even a couple of extra articles to help you begin to move with structure.
 
Along with "How to Ensure That You Are Getting the Most Out of Tai Chi: The Insiders Secrets" you also get.
  
 
FREE Bonus #1: Tai Chi Training Report: "How To Avoid The Three Biggest Tai Chi Mistakes that Almost Everybody Makes"  (This eReport Retails at $15)
 I am always amazed at how many people do their best to get the benefits of Tai Chi training and are making these three huge mistakes!  Not only will you not get anything from your Tai Chi training if you are making these mistakes- you will probably even injure yourself!
FREE Bonus #2: Tai Chi Training Report: "How To Have Proper Posture and Alignment"  (This eReport Retails at $10)
Have you ever walked through the mall or any other store and seen the incredibly poor posture that almost everybody has? Well, here is an exert from this report
 
"One of the most common ways that most people develop a multitude of health problems comes from having bad posture. Like having your hips in the wrong place, your feet positioned incorrectly, your chest concave, your head positioned incorrectly- all of these can cause serious problems and cause a great deal of unnatural wear and tear on your body. Bad posture inhibits your skeletal, respiratory, nervous, digestive, and circulatory systems, thus decreasing your physical fitness, ability to digest food properly, ability to deal with stress and illness, and even your ability to think clearly."
 
Need I say more?  You need to read this.
FREE Bonus #3: Tai Chi Training Report: "The Real History of Tai Chi"  (This eReport Retails at $10)
 
Most people read the Do Ma stuff and think that is that.  Well, here is the real deal...
FREE Bonus #4: Tai Chi Training Report: "The Foundation Upon Which Tai Chi is Built: The Nature of Taiji and Wuji and the Key to Enlightenment "  (This eReport Retails at $10)
 
Over the years I have read and researched a great deal about the nature of Taiji and Wuji in an attempt to uncover the mysteries of both. I have read books, attended seminars, studied with various teachers, meditated…all in an attempt to obtain a greater knowledge of what Taiji and Wuji are. I was firm in my belief that when I was able to understand them and the relationship between them I would be able to ascend into enlightenment- whatever that meant. I also had some crazy ideas about that enlightenment thing- but we will discuss that a little later. What I discovered was that, while all a helpful part of my learning process, none of these things had the answers that I was looking for. Not even the concept of enlightenment as I knew it was valuable. In this report I will attempt to explain the truth as I know it to date about the nature of Taiji and Wuji.
 
FREE Bonus #5: The E-Book: Working Your Way Through the Mysterious Laberynth of Tai Chi by Master Walter Capps "  (This ebook Retails at $45)
 
Here is the forward to the book- I think it explains why this book is so incredibly valuable and is an absolute must have for anybody who is even thinking about getting into Tai Chi:
 
I wrote this book with the idea of giving the reader the authentic
voice and ideas of Master Xu. Since Master Xu is not a native
English speaker, the text will not always follow the rules of English
grammar and writing esthetics. I have attempted to convey the
flavor, immediacy and intensity of Master Xu’s personal journey
for excellence in Kung Fu without watering down his message. I
did not write this book to impress intellectuals, scholars and
priests; it is written for the average American Tai Chi student, ‘just
regular folks’, like you and me.
There is certainly a language and cultural barrier to learning the
martial arts of China. This would all be easier if we could read and
speak Mandarin or Cantonese. Please read the book slowly,
digesting it a little at a time, rather than judging it quickly and
superficially like fast food.

I might interject that Walter Capps lived with Grand Master Xu for a period of years and last I spoke to him had just come back from a walking tour of China.  Interesting fellow.

Step 3:
 
After you have signed up for the free Tai Chi Training Tips, gone through the "How to Ensure That You Are Getting the Most Out of Tai Chi: The Insiders Secrets" Package you need to graduate up to the next level of chi work and intention work.  For this we have a "How to Ensure That You Are Getting the Most Out of Tai Chi: The Insiders Secrets: Part 2: How to think about Tai Chi Like a Master.".  But your really do need to get through step one and two first before this will make much sense to you.
 
So what do I means by "How to think about Tai Chi Like a Master?"  Maybe you want to be a "Master" maybe you think you don't.  But what does it mean to be a Master?  It means that you reach a very high level of competitency in the art of Tai Chi for whatever ends you seek.  Be it better health and fitness, Martial Art ability, personal and spiritual growth- mastery takes you in whatever direction you wish to go.  But the key is that you must learn to think like a Master
 
In other words, we need to change your "Tai Chi paradigm."  We need to change how you think about Tai Chi, your approach to training, and your perception of yourself.  You see, "Masters" of any craft don't think about that craft in the same way as somebody who has yet to achieve such a high level.  Tai Chi is no different in this regard. 
 
In this second package I have once again teamed up with Walter Capps to help you in this endeavor.  We are offering you three titles that will be of tremendous help to you
 
"Yi is the Key" by Walter Capps is an ebook that is designed to get you to think about Yi correctly.  Yi is often translated as focus or mental intention- but there is a great deal more to it than that.  But he is absolutely correct, without Yi you simply are not doing Tai Chi and absolutely will not get whatever benefit you seek from your training.
 
"Wai Shi" by Walter Capps is the next step on your journey.  Wai means external- as in outside of your body.  Shi means movement, roughly.  This is how you connect the power of the sky and the earth in a fashion that is much like a tsunami.  I know this doesn't make much sense yet- but that's why you need to read this book.
 
"How to Approach Tai Chi Like a Master" is an ebook that I have written to help you change your thought process.  I think the title pretty much explains it all.
 
You need to read the first package to make sense of this second one.  This three books that comprise this second package would individually retail at about $180, but you can get them all together here for only $99. 
 
Step 4:
 
This is the manual and video series on the Spiritual aspects of Tai Chi.  For this stuff to make sense you really need to have a strong grasp of levels 1-3.  Remember that your spirit leads your yi, your yi leads your chi, and your chi leads your body.  But you do have to work your way there backwards: meaning that you have to develop your body first, then your chi,then your yi, and finally your shen (spirit). so we'll discuss this when you have completed levels 1-3.
 
I'll talk more about this higher level stuff later on in your journey.

 
Below are just a few samples of what you’re about to learn as you begin to follow this resource series:

 
  •  How to make absolutely sure that no matter what art you are practicing, no matter what your level of skill, you will finally be able to get the health benefits that you want from Tai Chi.

 

  • Have you ever watched a Master of Tai Chi perform and wonder how somebody so old could be in such great shape, how they can move so fluidly, and have they can be so soft and yet exude such great power when they walk into the room? The same closely guarded techniques they are using to do this are all revealed in the book. It doesn’t have to be a secret anymore!

 

  • Are you spinning your wheels with “Tofu Tai Chi,” or Tai Chi where you are just going through the moves but don’t get the meaning behind them? Now you are in a position to finally learn the right way to do it, the way the masters do it, and you can too!

 

  •  Is Tai Chi or at least quality Tai Chi just not available in your area and you’ve always wanted to learn it but it just simply hasn’t been possible? Now you can get on the road to learning this art and getting exactly what you want out of it on your own terms.

All it takes to get started is 49.99 for the How to Ensure That You Are Getting the Most Out of Tai Chi: The Insiders Secrets Package.

 

 
It's only $49.99 to get you started (you will need a pdf reader).
 
                                                              
 
  
Something clicked from the moment I talked to Master Croley on the phone. For most of my life I had been searching for something.
 
I had been searching for a physical discipline that could be fast and exhilarating or slow and beautiful, and practiced anytime, anywhere.
 
I looked for something creative like music and something I could study and expand my knowledge with. And I searched for something spiritual, something that would bring purpose and drive to my life.
 
I had dreamed about it for years, and when I was ready, it only took a moment to figure it all out.
