I hope i could get it all in 20 seconds.

6:25 -- wait a minute. Lifting water. A good way to break someone's grip on your wrist.

❤merci Sifu 🙏🏼👏🏽 Excellent 🙌🏽

Have you ever done Historical European Martial Arts?

Good

I never knew the Tai Chi Flute existed. Thanks for the video.

What is the reality of travellingby plane with the swords and fans? Security check must be a nightmare. Any information please?

First, the 5th one, I'm still trying to understand. But it seems as though there's a progression between the first 4 techniques.

Simple, straightforward, and when snapping, I'm at head height. Slow and steady, solar plexus at best. Why I'm told for tai chi -- taiji, whatever -- best results, go slow. So far, no broken tailbone. Then again, I'm reasonably balanced -- at least physically. Mentally is another story.

❤merci Sifu pour cette intéressante vidéo 🙏🏼👌🏽

I suggest learning Zhang San Feng Tai Chi Sword or Tai Chi Sword 42 There are moves in both that are extremely beautiful although they are not forms for beginners After that learn Wudang Dan Jian which is not a slow form and is the same form used in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon I have practiced with The Taijijian , The Jian and The Dao for over 30 years and have fought for real One swordfight is better training than a thousand hours of practice

Hello Tai Chi with Sifu Kuttel, Just a personal question: Where do you buy your out fit, it is beautiful. Thanks.

Bonjour Sufi merci pour cette vidéo très intéressante 🙏🏼🔥🙏🏼

I recently started training in Jianfa. I've got to save up but I look forward to getting my first cutting Jian.

Thanks for the introduction! Now, I'm finding that a plain left handed fan is not common! Lefties of the world unite!

Hello teacher, please make videos on how to train to raise your legs high and straight like yours! I'm young, but I can't stretch my legs like you, how can I train to achieve this?

@SifuKuttelTaiChi Hi again, I'm wanting to read more about how fans were used by Samurai or used for defence. Do you have any links or articles you would suggest?

This is a topic I like to sink my teeth into as well. Despite my lack of formal training (as of yet), I still have found out and observed a decent bit on this topic throughout the years of handling jian. The qualities of jian use, especially in arts like Tai Chi, are simply not possible without a "lively" grip (as legendary swordsman Li Jinglin calls it). It goes beyond just the play it gives to the sword but also is imperative to the entirety of the accompanying body mechanics. Arts like Tai Chi, as you well know, emphasize a certain elastic quality. An... absorbing and springing back sort of concept. When this is done with a jian, it works beautifully. But it needs that play in the wrist and grip, otherwise the power will stop at the arm. Like a literal whip, it only works if the whole body is relaxed. If there is a hard section in a whip, most of the energy will die there. Li indeed describes his lively grip to dominantly be the middle and ring fingers. Rodell Laoshi teaches it more like his, too. The thumb actually clasps over those fingers. I have found that grip hard to get used to lol! Personally, I like a grip more akin to what you show, with the finger under the guard. And indeed, the pinkie snap really whips the sword nicely. Very interesting take to teach it with the finger on the guard as a means of teaching the same mechanics. So sorry for the long novel haha! I just love to talk about stuff like this.

The Gale Wind interests me. After our exchange on IG about it a few days ago, I'm getting serious about adding another LK Chen sword to my armory. My question is on the type of steel. I do want to cut with it, so folded pattern steel or the spring steel?

I was holding onto one of those safety knives where I was holding it, pointing as though as though it were a sword. I looked at my forearm when my forefinger is relaxed and gripped. I noticed my muscles were more flexed when I was gripping the knife. My guess, so it doesn't wear out your arm and less chance of pulling something. Or increase energy/power available if it's He-Man vs Darth Vader. My money is on He-Man.

Interesting never thought about that

❤merci Sifu superbe 🙏🏼

Thank you

❤❤thank you Sufi 😊 Nice vidéo 😊

3 things I wish my school -- either junior high or high -- offered: - archery - fencing - martial arts But I debate which I find more enticing. Fencing or martial arts? I just say fencing in general terms of anything with swords.

1:59 -- how about the Vulcan hand salute? 🖖

Right, the title. 🤦‍♂️ I was going to say looks like grasping birds tail as i recognized it.

Excellent. Well done Sifu. 🙏

Very helpful! Thanks!

Back when I was learning taekwando, I was shown to never cross the legs due to your own feet being a tripping hazard. I often now cringe when I see that on Power Rangers. Then I saw the feet aren't exactly crossing. They're simply stepping back and stepping forward. Then realized taekwando, karate, boxing -- just go with it as it's used in Krav Maga -- are external force martial arts which crossing is a tripping hazard. Tai chi is internal and focused on being "grounded" (lacking a better term) instead of hippity hoppity.

What staff do you use for the spear? A special wood? Metal? Most spears I know usually have rosewood.

Nice sifu

❤merci Sigu 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🔥

🙏🏻✨️🍀🕉

Wait a minute. That's that butterfly or flower with the 8 count spin. The no-where near exaggerated Obi-Wan/Anakin sword spin. I used to do that before the footwork.

Maybe I'm still deprogramming from taekwando, but I was taught to never cross the feet. But as I realize that's external force, not internal.

😊Thank you!👍🏼🙏

I've been looking for a while for a good normal hand fan that can open and close easily because I was very dissatisfied with a fan that I had purchased in a Montreal market. I've been looking online for days for a nice fan that is sturdy and good quality and loose and can open and close easily. However, I keep seeing these god forsaken, fucking absolutely idiotic fucking fans that have eight ribs or less, can't close for shit, and could presumably kill a man if you were to hit him with it. Your video has single handedly and benevolently explained what these fans are and why god appears to forfend my finding any good fan under thirty dollars.

You know maybe hmm sorry english Not my language 😢 you maybe know a taijiquan sword walk. I dont mean Form. I mean walk.. hmm I have a little forgette this. Hmm Dragon Walk hmm .. I Cont know you can Unterstand what i search hmm sorry for my Bad english

0:18 -- wait a minute! White crane spreads wings?

Does length matter if one has a petite bone structure? AKA I have short t-rex arms and I don't want to self defense my own face 😅

Thank you! Most helpful x

Gd idea they u do it

Hello Tai Chi with Sifu Kuttel, Thanks you very much for your explanation end your demonstration, very well done. My question for you is : Do you have a online address which we can buy these fans in Canada, or we have to buy from USA only?

thank you Sufi ❤ Very nice 👍🏾

I still have the problem of putting my left hand on the bottom of the hilt to add extea power if thrusting forward is possible. And I see the flower being more practical than the Obi-Wan Kenobi sword spin we saw on Attack of the Clones (2002) -- I know the prequels are so lousy, they make The Rise of Skywalker (2019) look like The Empire Strikes Back (1980) in comparison. Ouch.
