Killer Tai Chi – 30 min of bonus footage
February 17, 2010 By 2 Comments
Clear’s Killer Combat Tai Chi Program.
We have added 33 min of additional footage to the “Wu Chi & intro to Combat Tai Chi” DVD.
Here’s a clip
If you have already purchased this dvd just send me an email (ben@clearstaichi.com) and I’ll give you link where you can download the additional material.
All Tai Chi has: Pressure point striking, Death Blows, and Energy Transfer.
I don’t mean energy in some metaphysical way. I am really talking mostly about shock or whole body weight expressed so that it goes in. This is a modern western physics definition of energy transferred to the other person.
Every Tai Chi move flows in a pattern that is intentionally designed to activate a specific series of pressure points or meridians or to transfer enough energy to the right area in the right way so that the strike or touch will knockout or kill an opponent.

Combat Tai Chi Workshop #1
January 25, 2010 By 1 Comment
The first Workshop in our Combat Tai Chi program was a great success. We covered a whole lot of good stuff, and we had fun doing it.
Here’s some of what we covered in the last 3 days.
Street Application – We learned a bunch of different quick & brutal street applications of Tai Chi that can be learned and used quickly.
Sigung Clear explains an advanced Dim Mak principle
Dim Mak applications – We learned a bunch of different ways to use basic Dim Mak to make our application of Tai Chi even more devastating.
Advanced Dim Mak – we learned how build the ability to hit someone anywhere and direct the force of the strike to any place inside their body that we choose. Training for this was introduced in the Internal Power DVD and these workshops built upon and added to what was taught there.
Poison Hand – We learned a poison hand method that can be found in most Tai Chi movements once you understand the principles.
Leading into Emptiness – We learned several different drills that build the ability to use this skill with any part of the body from any direction.
Fa jing – We learned several different types of fa jing including how to Use Breath & ground path to produce fa jing.
One of my person favorites was working on how to apply the energies Peng, Lu, Ji, & An within the “Rise and Fall” / “Place Hands on Jade Table” movement and then learning to mix and match them as needed.
Steel Wrapped in Cotton – Training for this was began in the Internal Power DVD and this workshop added to this training and built on top of what was learned there.
Whips – We also learned how to use whips in a number of different ways.
This is only a partial list of what we covered. I’ll have some of the other folks who attended the workshop comment as well, and I’ll be posting some video clips from the workshops over the next couple weeks.
Fa Jing with Breath and Steel Wrapped in Cotton
January 23, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Sigung Clear explains how to use breath to produce Fa Jing
The title says it all.
Day 1 of our Combat Tai Chi Workshop was packed with great stuff, but my personal favorites were learning to use breath to produce Fa Jing and combining the “steel wrapped in cotton” body quality with some “street” applications of the “apparent opening.”
We spent some time on several other topics as well including an introduction on the Tai Chi approach to Dim Mak (we’ll get into this in more depth during the next couple days.)
We also got a lot of great footage. We’ll be posting clips from the workshop online during the next couple weeks as we edit the footage and get the DVDs ready for you.
Here’s a couple photos of Sigung Clear demonstrating the use of breath based Fa Jing.

Monster Trucks
January 13, 2010 By 1 Comment
I took my son to see TNT Monster Trucks this weekend. We sat in the 2nd row and were able to see in the side windows of the trucks as they drove by. It was impressive to watch the precision and control that the drivers must have to do some of the stunts they perform.
The most impressive display of physical ability was the motor bikes. The cyclists drove up a fairly thin ramp and flew through the air landing on a larger ramp on the other side of the stadium. One of the cyclists did a death defying backwards flip on his bike several different times each time landing safely on the receiving ramp. The announcer explained a bit about the precision required that really made it clear how dangerous this stunt is. Obviously the driver must clear the front receiving edge of the ramp but they must also land on the ramp before the ramp ends or they will land on concrete with horrific consequences. So, they must land the bike in a space of about 20 feet after traveling approximately 40 feet through the air. Neat stuff! Fun for the whole family.
