    Tai Chi For Geniuses

    By the little dojo | February 2, 2009

    Gene Burnett is a talented musician and T’ai Chi Sifu in

    Ashland, Oregon he trained for many years with Sifu Andy Dale and was close to Sifu David Harris.  I have known Gene for twenty years and have always been touched by his insight into what’s behind the obvious and seeing essence in the mundane.  T’ai Chi for Geniuses is a refreshing book on the practice of the Great Ultimate Boxing that awakens your inner genius and brings your creative mind into the process to make interesting the parts of the practice of anything that we would normally like to just skip over and get to the good stuff.  By linking your genius to the building blocks, they become alive and a joy, to practice and brings beauty to the rest of our days.  Sifu Burnett is assuring and takes the fear out of learning something new and does not insult, rather attaches your intelligence. 

     

    Thank You Gene for a tremendous book, I enjoy reading and sections of mine every day.

     T’AI-CHI CHUAN is a Chinese martial art based on consciously aligning with the unforced balance of Yin and Yang energies that underlies all things. Whether or not you are interested in martial arts, T’ai-Chi principles of balance can be applied to any life activity to increase performance, efficiency, health and enjoyment.

    T’AI-CHI FOR GENIUSES is a practice companion, not an instructional training manual. Rather than presuming that the reader is a “dummy” or “complete idiot,” author Gene Burnett asserts that there is an inner “genius” within everyone. This genius is a wellspring of intuitive knowledge vastly more intelligent than our conscious minds. Burnett encourages the reader to listen to this inner genius while he breaks down the often confusing and mysterious T’ai-Chi training into four levels of work: Bone, Muscle, Energy and Spirit. Applying these levels of work to solo form training, partner work, weapons training, and daily life, Burnett shows how you can improve the quality and clarity of your practice, eventually becoming your own teacher and student.
