Taijiquan’s Perceptual Movement

for Self-cultivation and Martial arts

with Sam Masich

Taijiquan's thirteen-powers theory is designed for the development of ‘perceptual movement’ (zhijue yundong 知覺運動) and ‘deep sticking’ (shenjin zhannian 深勁粘黏). The proper functioning of the ‘eight-gates energies’ and the ‘five stance-phases’ depends on tactile connection skills and specialized martial-kinetic forces or ‘energies’ (jin 勁).

In this groundbreaking event we will explore the ‘perceptual movement’ theory using MIAM thirteen-powers theory, classical taijiquan form, push-hands, and application work to bring new life into ancient methods.
