There is also a section call the "Often Misunderstood", "Understand in Depth" and a chapter just on Push Hands training and strategies. A must have for new students who just learning or those who wants to improve their Slow Form. Great for the more advanced students to learn more about Push Hands and understand more depth.

A paragraph from the chapter "Push Hands"

Different Energies must be dealt with differently: knowing how to deal with all different energies is the key to good Push Hands. Each style pushes differently, each individual has a different energy; their styles and energies could range from black to white, through every shade of grey. There is no one way of making the basic circles that is superior to the others; there are many variations, but all should follow the Taiji principles. Power, speed, agility and techniques are the physical factors; discipline, experience, trickery and heart are the internal factors. There is always going to be someone who is better than you in one or more aspects, so you must prepare and know how to deal with it, and learn from it.

Red Book

Taiji can be practiced while walking, standing or lying down. Always use Taiji principles and work on Taiji, in any situation. For example, try to pick up a cup or glass using a lot of energy and then with very little. Pay attention while walking, are your steps heavy or light? Compare standing with knees locked and then bent, with hips relaxed or on one foot versus both. These are all excellent learning experiences.

Quality Jasmine Tea

Specially selected by Master Alex Dong

Green tea, known as unfermented tea, is the variety which keeps the original color of the tea leaves. The primary processing of China green tea includes fixation, rolling and drying. Because of without fermentation during processing, the chlorophyll still remains in tea leaves, which make the green tea in green color.

The natural health substances in fresh tea leaves are much remained in green tea. Since ancient times, the Chinese have known about the medicinal benefits of green tea, using it as medicine to treat everything from headaches to depression. The scientific research indicate that green tea is reputed to be helpful:

cancer
rheumatoid arthritis
high cholesterol levels
cardiovascular disease
infection
impaired immune function

The history of Chinese green tea began from 3000 years ago. The ancient Chinese plucked fresh tea leaves from wild tea plants and dry them by sunlight for storage. That is taken as the primordial processing of green tea. In the 8th century, the evaporation processing method was created. Following that, the saute processing method was created in the 12 century. The traditional processing methods still remain today. They are endlessly developed by tea technicians generation by generation.

Jasmine Pearl Tea

Jasmine pearl tea is super grade Chinese jasmine tea. Jasmine pearl tea tends to be popular in the world. The tender tea leaves with bud are plucked from tea plant of "Fuding Da Bai Cha" or "Fuding Da Hao Cha", and then processed by the green tea manufacturing method. After that, they are naturally scented with fresh jasmine flowers for six times.

Jasmine pearl tea is hand-rolled into pearl shape, hence it named as "jasmine pearl tea "; when infused, jasmine pearl tea will slowly unfurl as if the flowers open up. The strong fragrant aroma from Jasmine pearl tea is fresh and persistent. The taste is delicious and mellow.
