This a poster of Grandmaster Chen
(family name) Zhenglei. You will be seeing a lot of him.
He is a member of the 19th generation of Chen Family Tai Chi
masters. If you attend a class at one of our schools a poster
like this will be hanging to the right of the entrance to the
teaching and learning area. You should put your index
(pointer) and middle fingers together and tap the lower edge
of the poster twice as you enter. By the way, if we are
expecting a guest a slightly smaller poster will be to the
left of the entrance. No taps necessary. If you are
studying at home AND bought a kit there will be a framed
photo in the kit. Set it up near where you practice and tap it
twice - gently - before you start. Plum Publications of
Santa Cruz sells thousands of recordings of different martial
arts and does not indulge in idle flattery. Their comment: "He
is a tall figure on the scene and for thousands of players
there is no higher authority". |
