Just watched you perform(doesn't seem the correct way to describe it) the 24 form tai chi. I really appreciate the back view, and I can pause of take in details such as hand positions etc. Beautiful to watch and study. Well done you.
Hi Jennifer, this is one of my favourite music tracks 🙂Its full name is Queen of the Blossoms - The Vermillion Plum Blossom from the album Chinese Relaxation Music. I got it on iTunes.
Fantastic - now I can relearn the form. Wonderful video - ambient sounds blended so well with the music, lovely smooth panning keeping you right in the centre (well done Jo) and a beautifully serene performance. Thank you.
Hi Roberta, I plan to do another video soon with spoken guidance. It won't be lesson-style like the video you're referring to, but will hopefully be a bit easier to follow than this one.
Very nice video and performance of the form. The 'wrist movement' which another comment mentioned, is interesting. It looks like it's a stylistic nuance and is fine unless your primary reason for learning Tai Chi is to fight, which I assume is NOT the case. I guess, my only feedback would be to not watch the 'lead hand' quite so intently - I like my more senior students to use 'Eagle vision' (A slightly unfocused gaze with an emphasis on peripheral vision) - but of course if you do a lot of competition work, then the more focused gaze that you use is probably better for letting judges know what you are doing. :) I am jealous of the lovely flow that you maintain throughout the form, I am way to 'clunky' with my 24 form.
Thank you Robert for your thoughtful and considered comments 🙏🏻You're right, the wrist movement is a stylistic nuance that I copied from one of the masters I learnt from and undoubtedly exaggerated. Since recording this video and noticing that several students were copying the same nuance, I've been working on reducing it to a more traditional tai chi wrist action (minimal). I like your description of the eagle vision and agree wholeheartedly. I tend to shorten my gaze when I'm struggling to focus, or when I'm feeling self-conscious. A judge picked me up on that in a competition once and it's also something that I need to keep working on. Thanks again for your feedback 🌞
Don't you love to discover something new on RUclips? Suzette's video's clearly show diligent and earnest performance. My club and I consider her one of our teachers. By the way, Robert Agar-Hutton and I will not agree. The "blade of grass" Tiger's mouth hand also conceals the clamping and entrapping "willow palm".
I am BEGGING every Tai Chi instructor out there, PLEASE stop turning to face the camera when you're teaching beginners form. It's impossible to follow you when you do that.

Hi, I managed to follow your level 1, is there any chance you can do a lesson on this level, but slower?

Where do you learn Tai Chi?
Celestial Tai Chi College in Melbourne, Australia.
thank you
Try to minimize wrist movements, armpit should be always airy, learn how to “sit” and all movements should “originate” from waist.
Thank you for your feedback.

I hear you.
