The site has a good forum page. I encourage you to post questions there. Wala masyadong gumagamit ng PTN forum page kaya I do not recommend using our forum... siguro kapag mas marami na tayong members, we can share tips and info through our own PTN forum page.

I also encourage everyone to contribute in this site. If you have stories, information, experiences, online links, pictures, kahit ano na makakatulong sa practice ng tai chi at iba pang martial arts please send it to the PTN email at earl.spartan@yahoo.com.

May the chi be with you!

Thank you AGBATET for sharing this interesting video.
You are right, the movements are similar to our very own martial art called "Arnis".

Eight Section Brocade

Some say it is good to practice the Eight Section Brocade at least 3 times a day from 5:00 am to 7:00 am or from 11:00 am to 1 pm or from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. For busy people, you may practice once a day but try to keep a consistent schedule for practice. Comments or any additional information about the practice of the Eight Section Brocade is open! You may post our comments by clicking on the "comments" link at the bottom of this post.
