As a centerpiece if not THE centerpiece to Yang Taijiquan practice, the concept of Central Equilibrium (Zhong Ding) is something every Taijiquan practitioner should be intimately aware of. But many even don't know what it means. How can you have balance and harmony without knowing what the Central Equilibrium is? What do you relax or release into, if not the Central Equilibrium?
During the recent one month intensive, hands on training camp for senior students that just concluded, in Phuket, Thailand, sifu Adam Mizner takes the time to clearly explain to the participants about balance, harmony and the Central Equilibrium that makes Taijiquan what it is! It is important to have the right mental model in addition to all the training geared towards the embodiment of balance, harmony and the Central Equilibrium sifu Adam Mizner shares with his students.
The one month intensive training camps are for students who have achieved the necessary prerequisite level of cultivation to have the right skills that will allow them to reach the next level through the crucial work done during the intensive, hands on training with sifu Adam Mizner.

A wealth of gold here!
I think this was from the first week. You gave so many powerful talks, thank you for posting this one.
Exactly , Thank you Adam .
a state of confluence, coherence, harmony, and balance...sending love and peace to everyone...
Very nice. Thanks for sharing. 🙂🙏🏼☯️
Crystal clear 💎
It's the same as the philosophy of the golden mean, which is to use the appropriate amount of force to defend yourself without losing your integrity or hurting the opponent as much as possible. Hence, Taijiquan is a martial art of diplomacy.
Golden 👌
good to hear your words - many thanks
Yes !
I learnt a Nei Kung spiritual system and we cultivate chi for health, energy and spiritual growth. It leads to certain things to developing but apart from maybe knowing how to Fajin i have no clue how to use the chi in a hands on martial arts sense. Good to see there are guys like Adam who know and can pass on such knowledge, skill. 🙏
You already know if you want to learn Tai Chi from a martial aspect you find a teacher....
@@taichipandabat6153 Fuck that I want be a Chi Kung Master. No stinking Detours. 😀
Since you mentioned this, what are the different kinds of Chi? Is there an answer for that?
Thank you for sharing this
I love it Adam. You are taking a materialist approach (not superficial materialism but material as in that which is real) instead of an idealist, air fairy post modern no objective points of reference for truth approach.
Someone has an axe to grind.
Probably because they have nothing substantial to say.
@@Liliquan Wow such projection and denial. Mate what you just said about me is your own shit projected on to me and denied within yourself. Try again puppet.
Thanks so much
Dear Sifu Adam Mizner
Let me recaputulate:
-Tai chi is Balance and Harmony
- To achieve Balance , Jin and Jang have to be separated
-to achive Harmony, they have to be reunited and coordinated

Interesting
Spoken like a true master of Taiji
i am pretty sure he don't consider himself a master just a high level student of tai chi.......i believe no one can master tai chi....because that's like saying you master the universe. IT CAN'T BE DONE!
@@taichipandabat6153 fair call....
Maybe "professor " is a better word
Superb explanation 🙏
I sometimes, especially recently, look at overrated automobiles Beemers and Mercs and think to myself "Blimey! They're a bit off zhong ding." Thanks for the info, Sifu!
"We're here to develop the skill of T'ai Chi Chuan..." this video begins begins. I guess this is supposed to be some sort of intro. for a presumed paying audience whom we never see & who will then become initiated into secret mysteries, because for us, the uninitiated, this is nothing more than an advertisement for us to reach for our credit cards & sign up, to be in that presumed audience, because otherwise we'll learn nothing, as we do here, about simply developing Zhong Ding, the curtain of ignorance will not dissipate nor rise, the video will simply end & we'll know nothing more at the end of the video than we knew at its beginning about developing Zhong Ding in our practice... But I did appreciate Sifu Mizner giving us his definition of it, so in that sense it wasn't a waste of my time.
its not a how to, that is for students
🙏🏻
Good
Thanks, wonder if you can explain what Luke Chan says about "turning" from inside "like galaxy" and turning the tongue because it doesn't make sense to me, partly because its asymmetrical movement.
I don't quite understand the explanation regarding equilibrium and central equilibrium (Zhong Ding) with the Taijitu symbol???
So if there is absolute balance in yin-yang in interaction with each other (movement in Taijitu-Symbol), there must be an balance point from yin to yang but also an balance point from yang to yin.
So the whole S-shape curve in the Taijitu symbol (when rotating) consists of equilibrium points that form a pair from both sides.
The central equilibrium (Zhong Ding) would only be in this case in the center of the rotation.
In this context is "sheng" crystaline spirit ?
❤️🙏
I learned Zhong in Chinese medicine is upright as in Zhong Qi.
So...like babies...infants, we need to learn how to use our hands, learn how to walk, even how to control our bowels and bladders. We did all of this body mechanics learning then...but then learned to be more external, or learned that just those basic mechanical needs were necessary and so stopped internalizing though staying in touch with it would have been more beneficial for our well-being. Kinda-sorta like that?
Where can I see the full video?
🙏
Hen how
And how
I love these explanations, but no one of this level ever describes exactly what qi FEELS like… when actual contact is made and qi is issuing
When I was ten, I stupidly stuck my finger in a light socket. At more advanced levels it feels like this, but throughout the whole body albeit not unpleasant.
At 5.56 you say, Zhong Ding is not physical, one moment later you say, you have to separate your pysicality..
How should that work, when your body is just one all the time??
It is a contradiction in itself and makes it all more complicated as it is..
A good question for our Taiji forum where Adam and other experts can assist. It only seems like a contradiction.
I understand it to mean mind; not tangible, meets body; which is tangible. Mind focusing inward as when you were an infant first learning body mechanics. How to grasp a rattle, how to crawl, stand, walk, and then they more difficult how to know when you needed to relieve yourself and/or how to control it until you got to the appropriate place of disposal. Relearning how to stand, walk, and move is body mechanics, but how your mind can perceive the body is the communication you need to get there. Kinda-sorta?
@@DiscoverTaiji Why? Any explanation for that?
That's a good observation and I'm also a bit skeptical. I would like to see him in the ring against a good Wing Chun guy, that would be interesting or just doing some chi sau against Dan Inosanto or any high level JKD/WC fighter.
can u do telekinesis have u tried to contact the spirit world?
That's not what this is.
😂😂😂 these people love to hear themselves talk. Zhong ding is protecting your vestibular apparatus, whilst attacking your opponents. Simple as that.
mental masturbation I HAVE to say that at least once now 😁 NO BS knowledge BRILLIANT
Can this opening of the body be fully achieved with Taiji training only? Or are there supplementary exercise's needed for this body transformation? Peace
You can with Taiji only. But you must be doing the specific opening exercises to open the body. It is not enough to just do the taiji form, push hands, standing, and so on, you must do the opening exercises, which not every Taiji school teaches..
@@truereality84 Master Huang taught the 5 Loosening Exercises to his students. They are an important part of my teacher’s training regimen.
@@Ivuy-Yawanifecbos15 The exercises are designed to open the joints, stretch the fascia, train awareness, train the mind to move ahead of the Body, and the Spirit ahead of the Mind, develop the Tan Tien, and develop Peng Jin (Elastic Force).
