In a free fight practice in a kung fu academy, with a young chinese boy maybe 17 years old, me with near 30 years old, this guy throu me with this technic, and I was so surprised, becouse I did not know that psibility. Remember I was so grateful with him, becouse he give me the chance to learn something new.
0:15 The "grand ultimate" tai chi / taiji reffers to is actually a philosophical principle from taoism that reffers to the universe in a state of -opposed to wuji, the previous state of chaos of the universe-. So grand ultimate doesn´t actually mean tai chi considers to be the "grand ultimate" martial art, but the martial art imitates the "grand ultimate" principle.
My Tai Chi teacher told me that the reason this is called "Cloud" hands is because the Chinese (probably Mandarin) for "cloud" and "turning" sound very similar. It originally was called turning hands. As you pointed out, the hands are always turning throughout the technique.
you are not using the words GRAND ULTIMATE in the proper context. The words Tai Chi mean Grand Ultimate as in the Universe is the Grand ultimate that follows the principles of Yin/Yang. In the video, it has the innuendo that it means that Tai Chi Chuan (that martial art style) was the "ultimate" fist to learn to defeat opponents.
Surely the martial art is known by that name because it has the potential to resemble and even express the Grand Ultimate as a meditative, health and combat system. Depending on one's individual training and development of course. Which obviously isn't ever really going to be up-to-scratch in the modern Western world as we now it. But we try. lol.
Antraeus It actually does exist and up to scratch in the Western world...More in the western world know TC better than the Chinese themselves at this point in history.
In America perhaps up to a point if we're talking population ratios. Maybe. Some Westerners are still travelling to China and Taiwan to learn their skills though. My teacher moved to Britain and said China bu hao. Yeah no one interested in ancient ways anymore. So a valid point for sure.
What do you think about this tai chi technique?
I just love the partner practicing the moves at the same time. I do that all of the time with my teachers.
Great and detailed explanation . I love all the important details and examples. Thank u!
thank you sending you positive and loving energy 🙏🌞
when you do cloud hands, you should keep your elbows fairly low. it gives you more strength
Love cloud hands...cool technique. Tai chi is really powerful stuff! Whole body circles...with release of chi for power.
Grace and hability,love these movements
Thank you.
I was always thinking, what the cloud hands and the single whip was for.
Now I can practice my Taiji even more intense.

Cloud harms can brake an arm by locking the elbow joint.
If people trained in TC the way you demonstrate, how would they learn the internal aspects of TCC?
Pretty good teaching. Volumn could be louder.
WONDERFUL VIDEO 👍

The Tai Chi guy who challenged the MMA fighter did NOT use any of these techniques and just got his head pounded badly!

well you cant judge the art on one guy alone
Aren't you double heavy during cloud hands? If you don't move and do cloud hands your hips are not supposed to sway.

No tai chi doesn't mean that in Chinese...
Are you saying it doesn't mean "grand ultimate"? Because that's exactly what it means.

Kill Trump -you don't know that
I practice the simplified tai chi chuan and love the applications.
Isn't Chi a thing? It's your life force energy that keeps a person going, right?
