The activities physical or otherwise, described in this manual may be too strenuous or dangerous for some people, and the reader(s) should consult a physician before engaging in them.
Warning: While self-defense is legal, fighting is illegal. If you dont know the difference youll go to jail because you arent defending yourself. You are fightingor worse. Readers are encouraged to be aware of all appropriate local and national laws relating to self-defense, reasonable force, and the use of weaponry, and act in accordance with all applicable laws at all times. Understand that while legal definitions and interpretations are generally uniform, there are smallbut very importantdifferences from state to state and even city to city. To stay out of jail, you need to know these differences. Neither the authors nor the publisher assumes any responsibility for the use or misuse of information contained in this book.
Nothing in this document constitutes a legal opinion nor should any of its contents be treated as such. While the authors believe that everything herein is accurate, any questions regarding specific self-defense situations, legal liability, and/or interpretation of federal, state, or local laws should always be addressed by an attorney at law.
When it comes to martial arts, self-defense, and related topics, no text, no matter how well written, can substitute for professional, hands-on instruction. These materials should be used for academic study only.
Even though Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming () is still a young man, he has accomplished a great deal. He has earned a Ph.D. degree and has intensively studied and mastered the martial arts, both the hard and soft styles, along with forming the Yangs Martial Arts Association (YMAA) and compiling many valuable books.
Dr. Yang surely follows in the footsteps of the Yang style founder, Yang Lu-Chan (), who also first studied the Shaolin hard styles and then later studied and mastered the soft style of Tai Chi Chuan. Dr. Yang stimulates this tradition, which will surely bear the fruit of high achievement within the martial arts for him. Although Dr. Yang and myself have not personally met before, we both share a common affinity, that is, we both learned the Shaolin Chin Na from the same teacher, Master Han, Ching-Tang ().
After receiving this second Volume of Advanced Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan: Martial Applications (New Title: Tai Chi Chuan Martial Applications), I am indeed impressed. Both volumes one and two lay a solid foundation for the internal and self-defense applications of Tai Chi Chuan. Everybody should read his books. So I am honored that I am writing this foreword to his new book. My two favorite students, Stuart Alve Olson and Jonathan Russell, both of whom have a friendship with Dr. Yang, originally presented me with the idea of writing a few words of introduction to this book. It is also my understanding that Jonathan Russell was instrumental in helping Dr. Yang become established in Boston shortly after I left that city to semi-retirement. So now it is my turn to help establish his book. It is my sincere hope that everybody learns something from Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming in order to get some benefit from his intensive study and practice of the martial arts. He is a youth of great promise! By constantly studying and practicing the martial arts, in the near future Dr. Yang will reach the highest level, and then at once his name will be well known all over the world. Now let us rub our eyes and see!
Tung-Tsai Liang ()
May, 1986
In Volume 1 of Advanced Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan (re-titled: Tai Chi Chuan Martial Power, 3rd Edition) we discussed the most important part of taijiquan: the principles and theory. We also translated and discussed the ancient Chinese poetry and songs that contain the accumulated experience and understanding of dozens of generations of taijiquan masters. The taijiquan beginner usually finds it very difficult to understand the deeper meaning of these writings, but as you accumulate experience you will gradually begin to grasp these keys. Therefore, you should continue to study and ponder, and one day you will understand the real value of these written secrets.
A major part of the theory of taijiquans martial applications is involved with the use of jing (). Hopefully Tai Chi Chuan Martial Power has given you a good understanding of this subject. The theory of jing and its training methods have been kept secret for centuries. Tai Chi Chuan Martial Power is the first extensive discussion of this subject in English. I sincerely hope it will open the door to the research and study of jing, and make the general public aware of this neglected aspect of taijiquan.
If you understand the principles and theory of taijiquan and its jing, but do not know the martial techniques, your martial art is still half empty. It is as if you had learned how a car works, but not how to drive it. It cannot be denied that understanding the theory will help you to progress faster. However, since every form in the sequence was carefully designed to most efficiently attack and defend, you will also profit greatly from researching the application of each form to discover its potential and why it was designed just so. Once you have learned the martial applications, you still are not ready to use then in a real fight. You are in the position of someone who knows how to drive a car, but does not yet have any actual experience. In order to make the techniques usable, you must constantly practice them with a partner. Pushing hands and the fighting set were designed to resemble a real fight, and they give you the opportunity to apply the principles and theories you have learned. It is through this kind of mutual interaction of theory and practice that you become a taijiquan martial artist.
