I was thinking of getting private lessons in Tai Chi Chuan from him. I was wondering if anyone knows if he would teach me Tai Chi Chuan as a fighting martial art with necessary training (full contact sparing, sanda san shu, exercise, getting thrown around)? If not does anyone know of a Sifu that will teach Tai Chi Chuan as a fighting art in the Los Angeles area or the SOCAL area?

I’m training Shaolin Kung Fu and have had a year of great training from my Shifu. However, recently the class integrated into a Chen Tai Chi class, and rather than a 15 minute hard warm up with push ups, frog jumps, etc, we end up spending half an hour doing stretches and then are left with so little time that we have only done forms for the last month or so. Previously we had a good mix of basic stance training, forms and Sanda sparring.
I’m getting frustrated and feeling like I’m not being pushed, but I don’t know how to address this issue with my Shifu without being disrespectful. Does anyone have any advice?
I know other styles of Kung Fu emphasizes on meditation,channeling Chi,and performing the Horse stance during training.However,I’m not familiar with sanda/san shou.Does it emphasizes on meditation,channelig Chi, and performing Horse Stance exercises during training?Or is Sanda/San Shou just a form of Kung Fu that is all about fighting and sports competition?Please inform me!
