Thought I recognized you under that gray man outfit Robert. Been a few decades, but I remember us practicing the form for several hours at a time without pause in the House of Pain. Finish, and then flow right into the beginning of the next repetition. Solid stance, Sifu would be pleased.
Hello what an amazing performace. Very smooth, pleasing to the eye. I would like to know how this style relates to the Chen school and the concept of 'fa jing'. I notice the pace in Guang Ping speeds up and slows down again. When I practice Yang style (regular) Tai Chi myself, I improvise and play around with different speeds. I notice my body enjoys it when I change speeds and even wants to go faster. It makes me even more relaxed somehow. What would you recommend to learn next?
I have been going to a Yang style class because my Chen style teacher lives far away. I have been looking to this Guang Ping and some other less common branches, to see what I can add to it. I think both regular Yang style and this Guang Ping style have each have good things about them, and maybe you should consider learning a little of both and taking the best things from each. There is also another branch of Guang Ping if you look around. This popular branch came out of Taiwan, and the other one comes from mainland. It's hard to find though.
I would very much like to know who this is. It looks like he is purposely hiding his identity, but I can't imagine why. It looks like this may be SiGung David Chin! But the way he performs the form here is very different from how he performs it in the only other video of him doing Guang Ping Yang on RUclips.
This is the only Guang Ping on youtube. I have been analysing about 20 versions today, they are all rubbish. The people have completely different timing, different arm movements ... they are not the same, everybody is doing something very different. It's really depressing. This is the only one where the movements look serious, connected and have meaning. For instance the 1st movement this man, Nakashima, has the arms and leg landing at the same time, the meaning is Yin-Yang, open-closed, it is a reminder of Tao at the very beginning. All the other videos I have seen the leg lands differently to the arms, or the arm movement is divided into two or three movements ... what a nightmare. And all the other movements are the same. Truly they have no diea. Anyway, thank God for this video.
Glad to see your taijiquan again after all these years, Robert Nakashima. Thank you for sharing the video and keeping Guang Ping style visible.

Beautifully executed.
