Here's a nice article by a guy who goes by the name Robisen about his experience training with Grandmaster Chen Xiaoxing.
When you get a chance to have direct contact with someone at Grandmaster Chen's level, it's an enlightening experience.

Ken, this really brought back to mind the experience we had with Chen Xiaoxing when you brought him to our school. The man was unfailingly polite and understood how to teach important principles. (Luckily, we had an interpreter) He worked with each of us at our own ability and opened our eyes to how much we needed to practice and learn!

He also has an incredible sense of humor while at the same time being very serious, occasionally deadly serious, about Chen Style. My favorite thing about Master Chen his is focus on trying to help you model movement by often getting right behind you and moving you through a movement at a ‘normal’ speed which allows you to really feel what you need to be doing and occasionally he passes a ‘touch’ for you to work on.
Thanks for the link to my blog. I need to get around to posting a entry on my experiences at the last Chen Xiao Wang seminar.
Cheers,
Robi
