Thank you for your genuine and no-nonsense sharing. Always good to see people who have done the work and have the skills. And how simple and clearly you lay out the path. It's crazy how little traction this channel has in regards to likes and comments. And of course there's always one or two commenters who come to brag that their glass is fuller, haha. And indeed there's people just 'learning' Tai Chi / ZZ / QG / NG from RUclips.
We can but smile about the wonderful world of people and the platforms like this that bring us together. Anyway I'm just here to give appreciation to what you have to share. Best wishes to you and your students 🙂☯️👍
Thanks for your comments and support. I hope to produce more videos soon.
Excellent instruction as always. Thank you for you generosity in sharing. This is definitely something I need to improve on, despite the fact that I was first taught this in 1984. Back then, being a rank beginner, the instruction was more simple and basic. Now, still feeling very much like beginner, it's time to bring more focus to this valuable practice.
Thank You, so much, You have taken me from the land of whoop whoop, to the land of reality, and back again when in my postures; very much needed many thanks again. All the best wishes.☯🐭
That well said. I've been trained the same, different words but everything same. Maybe slight turning of the knee out, screwing slight of the heel out but opposite direction at knee to hip, sinking, relaxing and sinking kua but everything you described is exact training of embracing the tree standing. Very thorough
Thanks … so easy to understand nothing hidden.
Brilliant video, informative, helpful and clear. Thank you for sharing.
What a wonderful thing to find someone who really knows what they're talking about. My compliments.
Thanks for making this. It will be great to have a video resource to be able to come back to again and again as I work toward getting my standing posture correct.
Excellent, more of the same please.
🤜🤚
New subscriber, thanks for posting. I'm familiar with Zhan Zhuang & practice it daily. My only observation of note is how much you bend your knees. I will try it today, I'd only add it seems like slouching is more a temptation (for lack of a better term) with you knees bent this much. In any case, thank you.
great video. could you talk more about the connection between yong chuan & hui yin points?
This is a very helpful video. Thanks. I think its a bit of a sidetrack, but I checked the scientific evidence re flexibility under anesthesia and there is some evidence that flexibility increases slightly under anesthetic.
Slightly, yes because under anesthesia we are not 'uptight'.
But "Much more flexible" ?
No.
We do not become prima ballerinas under anesthesia.
Great explanations
My medial Quad muscle on one leg gets super tense when I do this for a while. Trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.. any suggestions?
Hi David, how long and how often are you practicing your standing and which particular posture/postures?
@@innercourttaiji pretty regularly, 20-30 min usually. In Wuji and Tree hugging postures. Been through phases of working through various tensions, but this one seems to be there often
@@6Uncles I can’t tell you for certain what is causing it but I have some suggestions that are a bit to complex for typing here. Give me a few days and I will post a video with those suggestions and others. Good idea for content:)
@@innercourttaiji I more or less figured it out by working on the hip joint above. But now the issue is radial nerve numbness on both hands. I'm guessing I probably find something in the neck area
@@6Uncles Checking the hip position was the right thing to do:) I just went to your RUclips channel. You do a lot of weight trying?
sorry I am not an English native speaker what do you mean by bow and spring please help me
Bow and arrow, the bow is pulled into tension like a spring to fire the arrow, as in archery. If the bow string is too loose the arrow will not fly, if the bow string is too tight it may snap/break the bow. Dynamic tension as held in a spring.
Also,
If one suffers from low energy do you think this practice alone can rectify that over time? Or do you think one must also incorporate cardiovascular exercise?
Yes. if the person is eating decent enough food and is hydrated, but the practice has to be correct and done with persistence(no easy to swallow magic pill) No need for cardio unless they enjoy it, Zhan Zhuang if done correctly is an intense exercise. One should do an exercise that they enjoy and get satisfaction from swimming, yoga, running, etc. it is all good:)
@@innercourttaiji hi, really enjoy your videos. Just wondering about a slight gripping with the toes, what do you think?
@@dingosmith9932 Gripping with the toes could be an indicator of myriad of things. I would first check the amount of force you are using to tuck your tailbone and how well you are driving your knees forward.
@@innercourttaiji so this is not something that you would recommend? I say that because a couple of my teachers say that they use this as a technique to stabilize and even pull the ankle into alignment. There is also some mention of helping to activate the K1's. (Minimum force, of course:)
@@dingosmith9932 It depends on what system you are learning. I explicitly tell my students not to grip with toes as it causes tension. Stability in the ankles is achieved through proper alignment. That said, you should listen to the person you have chosen as your teacher if you trust their system:)
When practicing do you think about microcosmic orbit? Governing Vessel filling up, tongue to roof of mouth and emptying through Conception Vessel and into lower dantien and finally emptying out of the ming men? Thanks, excellent video!
Yes, but the orbit includes the legs.
You say for a long time the practice works on developing Jin, I think you mentioned like a decade. You said Qi comes later. What are signs of Qi manifestation and why does it take so long to manifest?
Thank you
Meant to say ‘Jin’ not Yin
Qi is always already present. You have to give it a route to flow and develop places in the body to be stored namely Lower Abdomen (Dan-Tian) and Kidney Area (Qi Hai). The practice of Tai-Chi, Zhan Zhang and Nei-Gong does this through the process of conditioning the connective tissue in the body which is to develop Jin. The development of Jin and Qi are one and the same but you have to develop Jin to get Qi, not the other way around. Analogy> You have to create waterways and reservoirs to get agriculture and civilization, not the other way around. As far as what I said in the video about a timeline for Qi, it can be done in a much shorter time. It depends on correct teaching, correct understanding, and persistence. Persistence is the most important, without it nothing will happen. As far as signs in Zhan Zhang of development, a strong feeling of power coming through the soles of the feet engorging the body to the top of the head, a powerful feeling of the body expanding in all directions outward from the center and it is that expansion that supports the body, not muscle.
Thank you🙏🏾
This must be in Colorado
is jin = jing ? giv thx
Good question:) No they have different meanings JIN勁 means power, strength intrinsic energy. 精JING means essence.
@@innercourttaiji ahhhh that's righ indeed..... Great Video 💪🏽
AT 4:00 you discuss how muscles under anesthesia are much more flexible.
This is NOT true. A common fallacy.
I checked with my cousin, an anesthesiologist.
Your cousin is not technically wrong, however for commoners and for practical purpose we can consider it is correct.
Frome the website livescience(dot)com
"Nerve endings are dispersed throughout the muscle and tendon, and if a stretch doesn't feel safe for the muscle, those nerves will fire, registering pain and resistance, Thomas told Live Science.
These nerves "will say 'you better stop stretching, because if you stretch further, the muscle will maybe get damaged,'" Tilp told Live Science.
That's why a person under anesthesia, whose nerves are quieted, can be stretched through a full range of motion with no resistance."
@@QuentinKLEau You do not become noticeably more flexible under anesthesia, "commoner" or doctor.
@@williampalminteri1727 Guess you did not read my quotation. The muscle indeed does not become more flexible. However you become more tolerant to pain, therefore the muscle can sustain a higher range of motion than usual. When I am talking about the "commoner", I mean for most people if their range of motion becomes wider, they will perceive it as being more flexible.
@@QuentinKLEau Guess you did not watch your own video. You specifically state at 4:10 that under anesthesia the doctor can grab your foot and go "nose to toes".
That is WAY more flexible, and it is quite impossible.
More pain tolerance will increase range of motion SLIGHTLY, but beyond that, no dice.
This is a common myth, and it is not possible.
@@williampalminteri1727 I see that our conversation leads to nowhere.

Jin is fairly easy to teach and a lot of people who claim to teach Taiji are really only using basic jin skills that use muscle. Qi takes longer to develop in a usable fashion. Zhan Zhuang is largely a waste of standing time if someone doesn't know how to use and manipulate the qi.
