Discussion of CUTQ blog article originally posted Jan 16, 2018
This discussion of a blog post from the Champaign Urbana Taiji Qigong (CUTQ) website explores the concept of a “master” in the context of Taijiquan. The author, Scott Grubisich, recounts an anecdote about a student who questioned his credentials and reflects on how the term “master” is perceived differently in Chinese and Western cultures.

The post concludes by jokingly proposing that a true master is someone whose spouse refers to them as such.
