Chen Style Tai Chi Lecture: ON BEING A PREDATOR by George Xu DVD~English

Description: CHEN STYLE TAI CHI INTERNAL MARTIAL ARTS: ON BEING A PREDATOR MASTER GEORGE XU DVD – English Language George Xu explains his theory of predator energy used in the practice of Chen Tai Chi, but really in any Chinese martial art. This is an extension of his concept expounded some years ago in print on "animal" qualities well distinguished from "animal imitation" boxing where you try to look like the animal. In this hour-long lecture, admittedly sometimes difficult to hear and with a little break up, George Xu lists his eight attributes for practice. His ideas are really important and worth a number of viewing. One of the best explanations of what is missing from so much contemporary practice. _____ George Xu (Xu Guo Ming) has been an influential promoter of Chinese Martial Arts almost from the day he arrived in the West. Expert in Hsing I, Tai Chi, Bagua and the rare Lan Shou Boxing, he is an enthusiastic teacher who is also very concerned about finding out the truth of CMA. A constant student himself, his style is natural, spontaneous, aware and predatory. His insights are of the kind which "give away the secrets" right in public, where often they are missed. Master Xu has probably been the top organizer of visiting teachers from China who, amazingly, are proponents, like himself, of edgy, traditional, serious and what we call "organic" Kung Fu which, always and forever, resembles nothing so much as the soul of the performer and never the pasteurized line and lean of modern performance martial arts. Often George narrates for others with a thick accent and his own often humorous insights. ~excerpts borrowed from Plum Publications ________________________ Condition: This DVD is in mint condition, scratch-free, and tested to confirm flawless playback.
