Fighting Principles in Tai Chi DVD by Hideyuki Ikeda

This DVD introduces the principles of "abandoning self and following others" and "achieving action through non-resistance" in Chen-style Tai Chi. Rather than resisting force, this approach emphasizes moving in harmony with an opponent’s imbalance. Master Hideyuki Ikeda, a well-respected instructor of Chen-style Tai Chi, shares his insights on practicing Tai Chi beyond form, offering techniques and applications that have long resonated with students. At age 73, after overcoming a major illness (Stage 4 malignant tumor in full remission with no side effects), Ikeda continues to teach and demonstrate the core elements of Tai Chi’s techniques and philosophy. Drawing on the classic Tai Chi Canon, this DVD unpacks Ikeda's refined methods in practical and accessible detail.
