What You Will Learn From Sung in Tai Chi 2023?
“The most common word that people hear when learning Tai Chi, even if they have been doing it for years, is the mantra of relax, relax, relax. But in terms of what is in the founding documents of Tai Chi, relaxation does not mean what it commonly does in the West, which is about people’s emotional states. What is usually translated as relaxation in the Tai Chi Classics is the word “Sung,” which has many implications including release: release of all bound tension in the body. This goes quite beyond ordinary relaxation. It is talking about the release of all tension right to your bones. This is a much deeper relaxation and releasing than most human beings are aware of and one which does not happen by accident.
Many of the techniques within Tai Chi are taught by demonstrating them on another human being and saying, “This is what it is.” Now although that may be what it is, this method doesn’t tell you how you can train to acquire it. Watching a film does not teach you how to make a film. The focus of this workshop will not be so much on how well Bruce can do Sung, it will be to teach you the process for which you can do it yourself and teach it to others, and that is the difference between teaching and demonstrating.
Classically, learning what is called Sung in Tai Chi is learned through a basic 4 part process, each one of which builds upon and is dependent upon the previous stages being stable. In all 4 stages, you must consciously put your mind inside your body until you can recognize what your mind is contacting, and by mental command alone, you can cause your body to obey.”
