Master Dehua, I really like that you are approaching your teaching in this hands-on manner (which I had previously seen from Chu Shong-Tin). This is what I was looking for. See you in class!
Do you teach Small Frame Tai Chi? What style? I want to come learn...I have been doing Yang 108 Large Frame I have Arthritis in the knee...Do you teach Yang Small Frame just the form?
Hello sir, may I ask if you are based in Chiang Mai Thailand? And if so, may I ask the nature of your classes. Is your class open to all? Or is this a private training group? Also, can I ask what is the purpose of having a "small frame" "large frame" "fast frame" "long frame"? Are all the frames needed, or can you just use one frame, and then do it "faster" "larger" "smaller" etc? My apologies if I've completely misinterpreted what "frames" are in Taiji - I'm still learning and trying to grasp the concepts and terminology. Thank you for sharing, Master Liang🙏
Xiao Jia, or the small frame, also known as the "usage frame" of the Yang family Taijiquan, is a boxing set passed down from Yang Shaohou in Beijing, Nanjing, and also Shanghai by Tian Zhaolin. Yang Cheng Fu, his younger brother, on the other hand, only passed down the Taijiquan Da Jia (big frame) set. Therefore, the bulk of small frame Taijiquan that we mostly see on the internet, which does not come from the lineage of Yang Shaohou or Tian Zhaolin, is actually not the small frame of the Yang family. Xiao Jia, or the usage frame, has different training methods compared to the slow Da Jia set. While Da Jia focuses on basic Gong training like stretching, correct body alignment or Shen Fa, continuous movements, coordination of the upper and lower body, adjustment of energy flow through slow movements, etc. On the other hand, the Xiao Jia set is trained from the use of Jin in various postures, which are then applied to the fast-moving form. Each technique and usage of Jin in Xiao Jia has a clear direction, such as the Pie Shen Chui using the tendons shaking punch, Separation Kick using the Hidden Arrow Kick, Slant Flying using the Kao to the Mountian, etc. It is not an attempt to explain the possibilities of using postures from the Da Jia slow set, as seen nowadays. Training the Xiao Jia boxing set correctly will help you understand the use of Jin and Fa Jin in each posture, allowing you to comprehend how each movement should be performed. Gradually practice each posture one by one until you can perform the entire boxing set seamlessly. The term Xiao Jia or "small frame" can be misleading, as it might be thought to mean a smaller, more compact version of the large frame set. In reality, the meaning lies in the training of Jin. While the Da Jia or large frame focuses on stretching and extending to stretch various tendons and tissues, sinking Qi to Dantian, and stretching the three gates to create opening-closing/swallow-spit, as well as Song or relaxation for developing the Jin flow in various movements. It emphasizes the development of Jin's expansion from within. On the other hand, Xiao Jia, or the small frame focuses on the feeling of drawing in and accumulating Jin before releasing it, incorporating inhaling, exhaling, lifting (storing), and dropping (releasing). So, each posture pays attention to the gathering and condensing of Jin, not to disperse or Shan throughout the body like in Da Jia or the large frame. This is the meaning of "Jin Cou" or compact in the Xiao Jia or small frame. In order to train Xiao Jia effectively, it's important to first practice the basic skills and foundational (Gong) in Da Jia. It is said, "大架为功, 小架为拳" or "The large frame trains the foundation, the small frame trains the boxing." The meaning is that the large frame focuses on training internal and external Gong, as well as various fundamentals. The small frame, on the other hand, emphasizes the usage of Jin, Fa Jin, and the various posture applications in fighting. Therefore, Xiao Jia is taught after one has already mastered the Da Jia set.
No explanation needed. So much informative demo just via movements. Thank you for sharing.
