Returning to New York for his third seminar in as many years, Master Chen gave instruction in the second set of basic Chanssu Gong (silk reeling) exercises. The second set develops dantien movement on the vertical plane, a concept which Master Chen had briefly demonstrated in his first seminar in 1996, in which he gave instruction in the first set of Chanssu Gong exercises.

Master Chen gave a demonstration of his 19 Posture routine, as well as sections of Pao Chui. He finished the exhibit with an awesome display of rapid-fire fa jing.

Master Chen introduced a basic moving push hands drill, circulating through the crowd, pushing with anyone who wished to try his skill. He also taught several different techniques to be used within the framework of the basic set. During a break, he previewed part of his soon to be released series of instructional videotapes.

Master Chen plans a return visit next year.
