where are you located? I can't believe there isn't an instructor near you. Yes, the Gary Lam vids are ok. Do you have someone to workout with? There's a video clip on my website that demonstrates how we do SNT, the first form. Let me know where you are, maybe I can find someone for you.

Welcome Brandon. I'm in Wooster: about 60 miles south of Cleveland. Let me know if you're down around here. You can join in our classes for free if you're interested!
I started out in karate. I took an aikido and acupressure seminar in the Bowling Green area.
Best wishes!

I looked at several of your youtube videos. Nothing I saw was absolutely horrible. I do see many things that can be fixed.
In your punching, you really need to squeeze the elbows in towards the centerline and not turn your shoulders when you punch. You need to focus on this and practice it...

Yes. Sometimes he makes various noises depending on what he's working with you on. He doesn't always make those noises though. He uses them sometimes to help you understand how his energy is working, or help explain what you should be feeling. Also, it helps you determine a bit better what...

Lineage is important. It is difficult to understand when there are so many people who claim to be experts in tai chi (or any other martial art, for that matter). Part of the "mysterious transmission" is given from master to disciple/student, this can only be accomplished through "lineage" and...

I have a student who is in China right now and is studying Chen style Tai Chi Chuan. He may be starting a club/study group in the Zanesville, Ohio area when he returns in January. If he does, would you be interested? If so, send me an email and help you get in contact with him.

ok I'll bite:
1.) Leung Sheung's Classical Wing Chun (Primary), Chen Tai Chi chuan (Chen Qingzhou line), Fu family internal martial arts. (I'm liking what Liu straight-line baguachang has to offer too).
2.) it walks the talk. When it met my teacher he trains like he fights and fights how he...

My teacher likes scotch. So, I get him a good bottle. I've gotten him a good bottle of wine before which usually is less. Depending on the type and quality, I'm sure you could get one in your price range. As someone said on another forum, if they don't drink it, it could be used to make some...
