Clear's Tai Chi
Follow, Join, Stick & Adhere Workshop
 2023
September 27 - October 1
  • Wednesday - Sunday: 10am - 7pm each day
There will be a Lunch Break each day, and a group Dinner around 7 each night.
In this workshop, you will get the secrets of Follow, Join, Stick & Adhere!  
You'll Never See Tai Chi The Same Way Again!
Not only do you arrive first, but you do it with devastating power in each and every touch!
In real life & death encounters more than 10 Clear Tai Chi students who have used this method to protect themselves from violent criminals have ended the fight (by Knockout) in seconds after first contact.
Read that again!
Once the punches start flying the fight is over in seconds.
WIth NO damage to the Clear Tai Chi student.
The secret is, Arriving first with devastating whole body power even though the Clear Tai Chi practitioner only defended themselves. 
I repeat-  the Clear Tai Chi student was NOT the aggressor in ANY of these situations!
So, What Are You Going To Get?
It's been said Tai Chi Chuan is an art too vast for any one person to learn all of it in their lifetime.
But that is for every version of the entire art at the most advanced levels and it does not mean you can't fight with Tai Chi 
              -or that it will take your entire life to learn how.        
Tai Chi first became famous because of its fighting prowess. 
 The fighting part of the art was trained from the very beginning of one's study of the art,  
and in fact it was how I began my serious studies of the art.        
Unfortunately, most folks studying Tai Chi do not have a clue about how to fight with it!

As a result, in the Tai Chi community there are a lot of disagreements and the words, "that's not Tai Chi"  get thrown around a lot.

This is mostly by people who are speculating at best (because they just don't know any better)...
...and sometimes by folks who exclusively promote a specific style or method (Chen, Yang Etc)
They tend to act like their way is the only real way, as if somehow they have the exclusive truth and everyone else is wrong.         
The truth of the matter is more complex-
For example- (Uncle) Yang Ban-Hou and (Nephew) Yang Shou-Hou were both taught the Yang family style, and Shou-Hou even learned directly from his uncle for many years.
In spite of that, the Ban-Hou fighting method and the Shou-Hou fighting method are so visually and tactically different that they might appear to be two completely different arts!
The skillsets of Tai Chi Chuan are so vast that many different fighting methods have been derived from those skills.
...Why is that important?
Because in this program,
You're going to get:
TWO different methods of Tai Chi Fighting!

The Wave of Internal Power &
Water Fighting Method of Tai Chi

Including, SAFE & FUN ways to practice! 
And I'm NOT talking about some boxing program repackaged as "Tai Chi Fighting"
Tai Chi fighting looks like Tai Chi.
         It doesn't look like Boxing or Kick-Boxing, and it doesn't look like wrestling or MMA.
Even though different personal preferences, Jins, personalities & body types, etc. have led to a variety of different fighting methods, 

There is NO MISTAKING IT when you see real Tai Chi Chuan.
What the methods all have in common (different as they are) is that they are all actually Tai Chi Chuan!
A REAL Tai Chi Fighting Method will not violate even ONE Tai Chi principle, and it will deliver on ALL the promises of the Tai Chi Classics.
When Tai Chi Chuan is fighting, it LOOKS and MOVES like Tai Chi Chuan!
Now, like I said, there are different Tai Chi fighting methods and some are pretty radically different.
It MIGHT not look like what you have been led to expect...
But when the body qualities, movements, techniques, and most importantly the PRINCIPLES are correct, then it's correct!
If you're not used to seeing Tai Chi in action, you'll be in for a bit of a surprise.
But in no time at all you will see how all of the moves and applications flow NATURALLY out of the fighting method (whichever one you happen to be using).
That's how it's supposed to be, because in a real attack you won't have time to think about your awesome applications.
Techniques fail in a fight, but the PRINCIPLES can save your life. 
And yet techniques are all most people in Tai Chi Chuan ever practice, because they were never taught – in most cases they never even SAW – a true Tai Chi fighting method at any point in their training.
In his monumental Tai Chi Fighting workshop, Richard Clear is going to change the way the world thinks about Tai Chi Chuan.

But let's not focus on small pieces-
What's the BIG PICTURE?

The most important thing is that: 
At the end of this workshop, you will get real fighting ability with Tai Chi Chuan! 
There are videos on the internet where you can see alleged "Tai Chi Masters" get beaten by mid-tier MMA fighters who are just fishing to make a name for themselves...
There's a lot of varied opinions going around about what happened, or why they lost, or what that means for Tai Chi...
But the truth of the matter is-
It doesn't matter what kind of skills these guys have.
If you don't know how to really fight with Tai Chi - your skills will fail you.
Unless you know how to deal with the SPEED and INTENSITY of your attacker- 
you will be overwhelmed.
If you can't control the fighting space- 
                                                 they will control it for you.
Somewhere along the way, people forgot about that.
They thought they could distance themselves from having to train the essentials by developing all of these slick internal power tricks without knowing how to fight.
But they didn't understand the purpose of Tai Chi from the beginning...
What's the ONE THING you're going to get that will change everything?
You're going to get DEEP exposure to the reality of how fights work.
Yes, I'm going to show you Internal Power skills-
And yes, I'm going to show you how the Tai Chi moves can be used to attack, defend, or counter.
But the number one thing I'm going to give you IS:
A clear ability to fight with Tai Chi Chuan!
Before the end of this workshop- you will be a different person.
This is going to change how you see the art from now on-
And how you see its practitioners.
You will know who can fight with Tai Chi, and who can not.
And they might not know what you can do- but they'll see you have it.
They'll see it in every move of the set, and every time you do something.
And they might not know what it is-
but they'll know that they're missing something.
Because this knowledge changes EVERYTHING.
Are You Ready For That Kind of Transformation?
But Don't Just Take It From Me -
See What OTHERS are saying!

You can bring a person from zero capability to an assured capability to defend and survive an attack.

I’ve used Richard’s training in real situations, and it is absolutely the technique I will use if ever threatened again.

It is simply the only system I’ve ever seen that actually works.

When I had to use this program on the street one day it worked just like you taught us. 

I would definitely recommend your program to busy executives who would like to develop the absolute ability to defend themselves.
