...it's really strange to go back and read this community after all these years. (Was looking for a copy of the exercises to clean up for my new group.)

I've posted the seminar information here.

If anyone is interested, I'm in town and will be doing Chen stuff with people tomorrow (Saturday) at the Volunteer Park stage or thereabouts, from 10am on. (Actually I'll be there at nine, but the first hour is reserved for doing cannonfist stuff with J & R.)

Wednesday night I had the last practice in the big Artspawn studio space. After practice was over, I secured the keys, turned off the lights, and locked everything up. It was a good three (four?) years.

I intend to be at Artspawn on Sunday at 9:30.

Just sayin'

It's looking like I will be in Seattle the last few days of December and most of the first week of January. I know this can be a difficult time to schedule anything, but I'm really hoping to spend time with both the University and Artspawn groups, to whatever extent y'all are still around. (And with the Shaolin folks, and with CWTA...)

Thoughts?

I don't mean to be That Guy What Posts Videos, but there were some more from that same sequence:

Chen Zhenglei - Lao Jia Er Lu (Pao Chui)

Chen Zhenglei - Dao

Chen Zhenglei - Jian

I don't know who knows what, but these might be useful for looking up visual cues on a rainy day with no teacher around. :)

I have found our reference video. It's Master Chen Zhenglei, doing the entire thing, slowly and carefully, over the course of 14 minutes.

Part 1 (stopping right before the "twos"):

Chen Zhenglei - Lao Jia Yi Lu - Part 1

Chen Xiaowang's Lao Jia Yi Lu

This is the one that I've been following along on to try not to forget what I've learned. It seems fairly close to the style we do, with a few differences (his "twist step" has a large lean in it, for instance).
