Wish I’d listen to this 4 years ago. Sincere knowledgeable intelligent explanation of Tai Chi .We should be so thankful that there are teaches around like Adam Mizner. 🙏 Namaste
I'm only 10 min in and it's blowing my thoughts to amazing insights I would never have seen immediately. Thank you Sifu and thank you to the host. Excited to expand these idea as best as I can in life and art.
he's a good teacher because he "localized" it into westernized terminlogy so layman trained in Western exercises can begin to grasp what this Chinese form is.
I have to give a nod of appreciation and certainly admiration to the two of you. You did not shy away from any possibly difficult to answer question nor those which may bring you some negative feedback from dogmatists. Beautiful work, beautiful practice, stay well 🌱
Thank you for clearing up some of these concepts. Sifu Mizner is a true Alchemist who has followed the path of Spiritual Alchemy. Great questions. Great Answers. It's refreshing to hear someone who has actually achieved High Levels rather than pretend. In my 43 years of training and spiritual work I've come to see the convergence of Science, Religion, Tantra, Martial Arts and Art as just the surface of the Greater Work and it's good to see someone acknowledging, what I believe, is the Direct Path vs the Spiral Path. All of things need to be Gnosis, or truly experienced, to understand. Otherwise, It's just words and semantics. Every Martial Artist should listen to this. Many Blessings to your families and meet you all in person over tea someday. Cheers.
I don’t think TTC is useless as a basic mechanical form. I have seen hip arthritis massively improve and the older student able to weight bear and be almost pain free within six months of practice. She does the form and the form changes her body. She is a beginner, no awareness of Qi. But by practicing yin yang separation, correct alignments and mental clarity she heals and improves....so the Qi is moving with correct diligent TTC movement patterns. Like Sifu Mizner says, body moving the Qi.
Dance is not completely usles either and could heal simply because your getting exercise, but if you're seeking harmony then moving without intent is useless.
Very true. This man has complete honesty in his communication and a clarity that is rare in discussion of Tai Chi and it's relevance to one's lifelong struggle to be the best in health, strength, and dealing with life's unexpected problems.
In Ashtanga Yoga, there is a concept that when the body moves through a prearranged pattern of movements the mind is still, therefore the mind is in a state of meditation when focussed on the breath, bandhas, and drishti point. Therefore, I think at a high level, you can go into a state of meditation while doing Tai Qi taolu, if you become completely immersed into no-mind/no-body space of the practice.
3:37 This is SOOOOOO true. I had to practice Tai Chi for a good 3 years before I started seeing the physical benefits. It's really a lifelong commitment.
Ten thousand things to Taiji is another way to say from the macrocosm to the microcosm. Jamjong is the old method of first training and there are variations of this method for all internal styles, Santi for xingyi and the static animal postures of baguajang. The standing is where you learn samadhi, through circulating repetition, inner looking at each structure. Begin with large structures and as your mind becomes stronger in focus reduce the size of the structure your mind is investigating. With diligent practice, in time, you will be able to complete a single circulation of the muscles in three hours or more. Once you are able to hold a single thought for a half hour you will realize a half hour isn’t enough time to accomplish anything in inner looking. Adam Mizner is amazing for explaining concepts in the concepts he has explored. Yes. There is a barrier to go from samadhi to a movement system. This is the value of a teacher who can help you progress from samadhi to movement. Samadhi is an important first step where you lead to sense, feel and determine the qualities of the energy. Determine which thoughts are our thoughts versus the thought projections of those around us which we hear without realizing.
Thank u, SiFu...for your presence. I always appreciate hearing your voice, how you modulate you voice and even how your eyes are expressing and communicates everything you believe in. “The form forms us” and everything we Need is in Us, anytime, that makes everything possible, if we’re open minded.
When Psychologists are using mindfulness, they’re not suggesting that it needs to be positive. The idea is that it’s okay to feel any feeling, positive or negative. There are no wrong feelings. And you use mindfulness to get in touch with whatever feeling you’re currently feeling. Mindfulness helps people to understand whatever emotion they are experiencing without judgement. There’s a saying that “You have to name it to tame it.” So mindfulness of a feeling can lead to changing that feeling to a positive feeling only after accepting that the negative state is useful and valid. It’s also totally acceptable to stay in that negative state and experience as much of it as necessary.
Thanks Adam! I have to study Tai Chi on my own. I learned the 13 forms? - any who, everything you said was right on! I am glad you incorporated Lao; I didn't see teachers teaching Tao. As we all, we come from external at first- but through that, I got an internal injury- so I have looked at the Chi Kung, and the philosophy, because I had some unexpected deaths; But even from an Aikijujistu perspective I heard from a sensei online; you are right on about the misunderstanding that kata is what you do in the street. So thank you I am listening, but without a Sifu that is emotionally aware or stable....I have to practice the martial aspect alone....but I have touched people learning from you, others...I read in classics its about a familiar "touch"... but REALLY great video! All my books and practices are coming together and are verified through you Sifu
I use Kata in the street to create a distance between the attacker and myself. I move away in one direction to create a headstart. To run away as fast as i can.
Thank you for this talk. In one of your dhamma talks you mentioned that different spiritual paths bear different fruits, referring to new age as an invalid concept. Towards the end of this podcast it sounded as if immortality, union with god and nibbana were the same (44:50). Could you please clarify this? Can nibbana be attained by christian practice (union with god), daoist practice (immortality) or taijiquan practice alone? metta
Nice! Around the 15 min mark, different forms are discussed. It seems to agree with "One good teacher with ten quality students teaching one form will end up teaching 11 forms".- cannot remember the source
Great Sifu Adam Mizner, thank you so much, now my understanding of Taiji is depth clear, I hope to develop and clarify in harmony the oceans of disengagement in wich I have been sailing, now I least I see them. Thanks for all the terminology landed in the reading posibility done thanks by the ink of your awereness, you gave us a treasure. From my heart and mind thanks to the interviewer, whose name I dont know yet, but is also one chosen by the absolut by sure for a big reason.
Many thanks and grateful for this interview. I feel a better understanding of ting and yi, a connection to the effect of them within myself. I am grateful you share knowing some will express conflicting emotions. The bits we are ready for and can understand bring meaning and help us move forward on the path.
I believe the same, I think form is exist to guide you on how to use the skill, doesnt mean you need to do the form all the time. Even a karate master in okinawa that coaching so many champion at karate too said, "you are not perfecting your kata (form), the important thing is the kihon (basic). If you can do the kihon, you can do any kata perfectly"
Alchemy? How old are you Harry Potter? Alchemy doesn't exist, it's not even doubt. Try to seal all doors and windows, let propane stow valve open and after 3hrs approximately light a candle and repeat: Boom! Boom! Booooom! You'll thank me later, that's enough for my positive Chi. LMFAO,Alchemy?!
How do we submit questions for future podcasts? Here goes: if desire and ambition hinders you on the path, what is the role of vision and goals in achieving progress along the path? And what about living in the world, and wanting a career? Is suppressing desire only relevant to the path, or is it also relevant to moving forward on other life paths? How relevant is the dao for living in the world, or is embracing the dao necessarily leaving the world behind?
Very insightful. I especially liked what you said about the purpose of form and about the basics in kung fu. I'm a Wing Tsun practitioner and as far as I understand it, you can - and you should - apply that school of thought to all kinds of kung fu in general. I also liked the clarification about song and ting. Never brought money to a bank though. Maybe I should start doing that too. Thank you very much for the upload, Sifu Adam🙏. Peace
Are there two different kind of Chi (氣)? One heavier and the other one lighter. When I try to compress Chi in my dantian (丹田), the heavy one will stay in dantian, but the lighter one will spread out to fill my body.
Adam Mizner reminds me of Bruce Lee. One reason is he recovered from a back injury after doctors told him he wouldn't practice martial arts ever again. He also emphasise that you have to relax etc...
I really enjoyed your talk about the path and your wise spiritual insights. There is one question i would like to ask and hopefully you are willing to answer it in one of the next podcasts: What does the tattoo and symbols on your forearm mean? Greetings from Germany Sebbo
Sebastian Hanft he’s not a real master. I’ve been practicing taiji for 10 years. This guy is an arrogant douche that doesn’t even know what the ji in taiji means lol he thinks it’s the word Qi. It’s not. He’s wrong about almost everything he says.
You are really good at the philosophy!! I've thought about all this, and you are right. It totally makes sense. This I have found also goes well with music performance. I'v learned a lot from tai chi ba gua and xing yi and chi gung. You can't really put words to this stuff. Its meta physical but at the same time really. I'm Australian. Where are you?
I agree with lots but being able to receive a fast, strong punch from a skilled fighter is an extremely useful ability. If we cannot respond to the strongest yang with quality technique then we lose the martial meaning and become performance artists.
Meditation is detaching the soul from the outer world whether the body is moving or not. If meditation by definition only involves sitting does that then mean the eyes must be closed? Many saints in the past were known to be still while meditating with eyes open whether sitting or standing. One can be still inside while moving the body when moving in accordance with right action.
Dear Sirs, Let me disagree from methodological point, as there are at least three levels- the horizontal on es running external, from Swtagel.Beginner, Stage two-intermiediate and Stage three- advanced, as in sports, wordlwide. The vertical level, i.e. developed with time having spent on training., starting with the the physical efforts, ending up deeper in mental devotion. Finally, anyone havering spent three decades will proove it, that their endurance went nd finaly ended mental as Master Adam Mizner puts it. He is lucky to have arrived at it sooner than the other practitioners, but, let us nost forget that Tai chi has been invented as a fighting form that with time ended as a helaing or evern spiritual asset. Congratulations to all willing to take this lond road. Good health. What I still miss hear is teaching others, throo phase like ignition, generation of chi and then moving along the meridians and in martial arts- exteding it ovnerer our body into our target. May be out of the mental frame of the Master, but not out of reality. Best regards, Paul, 67, retired instructor ofKarate, also fan of Kung-FU Japanese Karate, and European wrestling, boxing, even fencing, kendo , etc. .
MMA fighters do not have the time to attain the level necessary to make tichi effective. It would be interesting to see mizner fight against a good mma guy. It would revolutionize mma. I don't see it happening unless mizner realizes how many people could be introduced to his art.
The idea of Taijiquan is not to revolutionize anything, except yourself. It wouldn't change MMA because MMA is for external meatheads who focus on impact- collision , billiard ball Newtonian methodology. The best at that was Bruce Lee.
What are your thoughts on Yang Banhou and Yang Chengfu. Both only get around 50 years old and were known for being brutal and rude. With Banhou it was so bad that he only had a few students. But on the other hand both where known for their high skill in Taijiquan. So high level in Taiji and personel spiritual progress dont go hand in hand?!
The Taiji until certain level is like human development, like someone getting stronger doing push ups. But going into the spiritual makes the difference between a good martial artists and a real Master, meaning Master someone who embraces spiritual. Qi is a quality of everyone that can be developed but toward this into the spirit and develop it is not something usual.
As a Tai Chi practitioner, I am kinda playing devil's advocate here... But even without the spiritual aspect - wouldn't you expect that the huge amount of this type of training that these guys must have done... would at least reduce their irritability levels to that of a normal person? And give them reasonable longevity also?
@@BWater-yq3jx i think it's a mistake to think we know about the mind of such men. It's also a mistake to think someone with spiritual cultivation cannot show irritability. There have been meditation masters who have done terrible things, does this mean that meditation is not for spiritual cultivation?

as in sports, wordlwide.
