Grandmaster Wang is a humble unassuming man, a famous Chen Style Tai Chi Master within China who studied directly under Chen Zhaokui  ( son of Cha Fa Ke) and Feng Zhi Qiang and was the senior classmate of Chen Xiao Wang.

The lesson is conducted by both masters, we get practice with each master in turn as they take us through an accumulative course in Chen style push hands, locking and anti locking.

Today we went through the 8 Kao's or 8 leanings which are basic methods  to bring force and the mind to various points in the body. The goal is to be able to sense and eventually feel
where there is a break in an opponents structure and capitalise on it. The Kao's are in the sequence of knee, hip, elbow, shoulder, back, chest, forearm, circular leaning walk.

So the purpose is to be able to issue force from any part of the body. Grandmaster Wang will be accompanying Master Ma in June 2008 and they will jointly conduct seminars in London sponsored by The Real Studio.
