This month continues with Part Three of the Yang form from where the
articles on the website stop off. Other news is that the interactive
CD ROM of the Yang form is starting to become a reality, and take
shape and we can reveal some of the features that we expect to become
part of the CD.
Issue 14 February 2003
This issue coincides with a pertinent date in the history of both
Taichido.com and the tai chi efforts of Gary Robinson, and marks a
new 'era' in Taichido's sister sites and the Buddhist aspects of his
work. In this issue he puts some background into these, whilst giving
some important and poignant advice for the practice of tai chi that
we should all consider.

and snippets of wisdom that will be a part of the forthcoming interactive
CD.

THE LAUNCH OF THE TAI CHI LONG YANG FORM INTERACTIVE CD At last, finally,
the long-awaited Long Yang interactive CD is now available! The first
(we think) of its kind, made by tai chi practitioners wth tai chi
practitioners in mind.

the yin/yang symbol, the cycle and internal flow of chi and the I-Ching.

teaches others.
Issue 20 August 2003
Part Two of the interactive CD-ROMs launched. Plus: When taken one
step at a time, Tai Chi movement and coordinated breath become 'natural'
and easy to understand. The same applies to the Form in general. If
you start from the beginning, the Form reveals itself to you and is
learnt like music.
Issue 21 September 2003
In this issue Gary talks about the three different parts of the Yang
form, concentration and consolidation, expectations and other aspects.
We also bring you up to date with the latest news regarding the Taichido
Tai Chi instruction CD-ROMs, and what we're doing next.

simply isn't long enough...) of tai chi.
Issue

us some fascinating insights into martial art philosophy through his
earlier involvement with Tokushima Budo and in particular his friendship
with the founder of the British organization, Kanch Bates.

24 December 2003
If, like me, you do Tai Chi; you ipso facto (as a matter of fact)
give credence and endorsement of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
That is to say, if you 'do' Tai Chi - you move Chi. If you have (ipso
facto) chi, and you think you can move it, you are therefore (ipso
facto) in full agreement with TCM |
