You see older folks tend to hunch over and Qi escapes from the back

More upright is better for you

 Dear Sifu

I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed and learnt from the seminar held by my Sigong when he visited us in Beccles.

As a newer member to Qigong his teaching really helped me understand what my body is doing during the exercises.  Particularly how the breathing is so important in completing the form.  Since the seminar I have found that by concentrating on my breathing it has helped me to be in a better position and be more relaxed and meditative.  This has also increased my understanding of opening up the meridian to release the Chi.

I would say that I still have a long way to go especially on my posture, but as Sigong (and yourself) says the more you do the more it will come naturally to you.

Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Best wishes

Lesley

Really good to see Sifu back in Beccles. Sifu ability to get that angle just right as to gain the centre is inspiring and something to aspire too. Which only means more practice. A good evening had by all.

“Hello this was the second time I have attended Tai-Sigong's seminar and I would like to point out how much I learnt again.

Tai-Sigong's seminars are invaluable and offer a great insight on getting the fundamentals correct I.e Structure,Centerline, Posture.

I would really recommend any of Tai-Sigong's seminars as you never stop learning.

On a personal note I would like to say how much of an honour it was to Chi Sau with Tai-Sigong again, one day I hope to be at that high level. 

Kind Regards

Gary 

 “The seminar was very informative. Tai Sigong Baker expanded on some of the key concepts of Chi Sau. Such as getting to the centreline and the importance of sensitivity which I found to be helpful for my own practice  and development of Chi Sau – Sam 

“I really enjoyed it and learned more than I expected. Was happy to see my Wing Chun brothers and sisters are all getting better and can’t wait for next time – James 

“It was another informative session with Tai-Sigong. He covered important ground like elbow position and finding your opponents centre during Chi Sau. There was a lot to think about and I came away knowing I still have a lot to learn – Neil 

“I found the seminar extremely rewarding, I was able to Chi Sau with Tai-Sigong and learn some subtle valuable tips about what I can do to improve my Wing Chun. It was an incredible experience and I found it to be awe inspiring. I would also like to thank my Sifu Eric Paule for his tutelage and for giving me this opportunity – Robin 

“This was my first seminar, and it was way above my expectations. I learnt so much and came away with lots of food for thought and it had encouraged me to further develop my Wing Chun studies – Oliver ”

Thank you Sigong for another informative and exciting seminar in Beccles. Where old and new student's got to see, touch hands and ask questions of Sigong/ Tai Sigong. A really enjoyable experience for us all. 

June

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Sigong Mike Baker for another great evening. 

This is the second workshop we have attended and each time we have come away with a lot of insights in how to improve our practice.

Many thanks

It was great to see Sigong Baker arrive for his annual visit to Beccles.

After introductions he talked a bit about Wing Chun and Qigong,then everyone was able to ask questions on whatever art they were currently studying.

Sigong answered everyone's questions concisely and to their satisfaction. 

He then went on to show the Qigong students Balancing Gong, and the Wing Chun students

were shown how to keep correct structure and the importance of this when chi Sau'ing.

It culminated in Sigong Ch Sau'ing with everyone who wanted to Chi Sau with him, and as usual

his skill is of a very high level and everyone enjoyed themselves and had a very good time and learnt so much.

Eric
