I am however hoping to start teaching again sometime soon.
Answer
When the time is usual, you should give me a report, including your website.

There will be an increase in chi kung intake.
Question 4
I focus a lot on the 108 pattern Yang Style Taijiquan set. What a beautiful set it truly is -- it has everything one could ever possibly want from the art.
Answer
The "108-Pattern Yang Style Taijiquan" is a beautiful set. It can be used to overcome any attack.
It is the cause of Zhang San Feng's development in Taijiquan, which was called Shaolin Kungfu in the past. Zhang San Feng made physical kungfu, chi kung and meditation into one unity called triple cultivation.
We practice triple cultivation in Shaolin Wahnam, though there are some exercises which are better than others. "Zhan Zhuang", for example, is a very good exercise to train internal force and a one-pointed mind.
