A Note to Readers: The Cloud Hands website has been online continuously since 2001. In this past year, 2007, over 1,041,000 webpages (excluding graphics) were served to readers around the world from the Cloud Hands website. Since 2005, I have also provided an associated blog to point to changes and additions at the Cloud Hands website: The Cloud Hands: Mind/Body Movement Arts Blog. Since Cloud Hands is a very well-established and stable website, it provides readers with a good and secure starting point for their online research into Taijiquan and Qigong. The Cloud Hands website is funded entirely by Green Way Research, with volunteer efforts by Michael P. Garofalo.
Unfortunately, as everyone knows, many other websites and webpages and videos appear and then disappear from the Internet scene. Authors do not pay to keep up their web hosting services, loose a "free hosting" option, change filenames, recode away from HTML, or decide to remove webpages for various reasons. Consequently, links to some good webpages or videos become invalid and the files are no longer found on the Internet. You may find a some of these "dead links" to nonexistent webpages or videos cited below; and, there is no way to avoid this troublesome situation. For this reason, when you do find a good and useful webpage, be sure to save the webpage to a folder on your hard drive or server.
I welcome your suggestions for how to improve this webpage. Your comments, ideas, contributions, and constructive criticism are encouraged. Send your suggestions to my email box.

Routine of Sun Style Taijiquan. Zhong Shan, Chief Editor. Wu
Don, Executive Editor. Li Wei, Editor of English Version. Published
in Beijing, China, 2003. 151 pages. ISBN: 7537720851. A
detailed study of the Sun Taijiquan 73 standard competition form. Book
comes with a VCD, color, 50 minutes. The accompanying VCD ISRC:
CN-C20-02-0040-O/V-G8. I could not find identification of the performer or
instructor on the VCD. There is no English narration on the VCD, just
music. The book is written in both English and
Chinese. I used this very useful book to determine the names of the
movements and to help me prepare the the
glossary for Sun
Lu Tang's internal martial arts system. The book includes many numbered
black and white photographs of each movement in the 73 Sun Form. The book
is part of an "Chinese-English bilingual series of guides to learning and
practicing the competition routines of Tai Ji Quan." Other titles in the
series help you learn to perform the competition versions of the Yang, Chen, Wu,
Wu (Hao), Sun, and 42 Forms. I benefited from reading their suggestions on
how to prepare for and participate in Taijiquan competitions. I ordered
the Sun Taijiquan 73 form book and VCD from
Tai Chi Depot. VSCLC.

life, serene, practical, yet deep and filled with vitality. Sun Lu Tang, a 3rd
generation master who studied with Cheng Ting-Hua, one of the two most famous students of Pa Kua

that his country might be enriched by the works of single persons revitalized by the

to remember in practice and historical notes. Our only criticism is that the
photographs are rather small. On the other hand there are specifics about, for
instance, Sun footwork which are very helpful in understanding the fundamentals
of this branch." VSCLC.
