DDA held an informal, free Taiji open evening with Master Wang Ming Bo, discussing Taiji theories, classic principles and introduction to some of the essential meanings and background of various movements from the Taiji form.

The lecture given by Master Wang was translated by Rose Oliver and was attended by a group of guests from both the international and local communities, including people from the UK and Northern Ireland.

Master Wang, who will shortly accompany Rose Oliver to the UK for Double Dragon Alliance’s annual Taiji seminar tour, also introduced the group to the differences in Chinese philosophy, of the concepts of the heart and mind and one’s inherent, basic nature and how these correlate to playing the Taiji form; why the ancient masters insisted their students wear specific Taiji garb when practicing; plus Taiji’s quintessential move, “Grasp the Bird’s Tail”.
