@@phoenixmountaintaichi My only recommendation at this point, is to include your name somewhere. It makes it more personal. Otherwise you just do a fantastic job!
@@InternalTaiChi Good point! Most of the videos are footage from me teaching class who obviously knows me ha ha. I'll be sure to incorporate a little intro for all of our online friends!
@@phoenixmountaintaichi great! Thank you. I look forward to continuing to watch your videos. Btw you've done a remarkable job with your video descriptions and your website...well written and clear. I know how much work it takes. Kudos!
My first time sparing with a black belt was scary in the first contact. Then I discovered that the hard art black belt practitioner was slower maybe because he was not as relaxed as I. Then the second thing I discovered is that his accuracy of distance is for example one centimetre, however my accuracy from pushing hands practice minus one millimetre. Yep minus because you can press down on the skin of your hand by about five millimetres. At that time in 1985, I did not know how to do an explosive strike, so I just signed my name on his forehead or disoriented him on each contact. After that he bowed with humility and I thanked him for educating me.
Yes, practicing must be slower at the beginning, to be able to see the signs of a comming attack. In preparation for compbat application, one is able to react earlier oand step beck sideways or forwrd /seldom directly and act as if preemptively, befor ethe attack develops in its ful force. Many thanks, Paul,68
What I've studied and read of taichi it is supposed to lead up in levels going from static circles, moving circles, then free form sparring. I never see any classes that show or even attempt the last step.
You have a good point there! Imagining training as a basketball or football player. You will do basic strengthening, technique drills, and ultimately practice matches. Tai Chi will similar have basic internal power training, skill development, and finally the practice sparring right? Now you wouldn't bother throwing a sport player who is too weak, who can't handle the ball skillfully, can't pass or score accurately, into a match yet would you? Unless you just want to show them they have a long ways to go. So similarly one will develop their Tai chi power and skill first or else in a ring they'll just look like someone totally lost, won't they? And we've seen that online have we not? And that means many Tai Chi players still lack the basic power and skill to use Tai Chi in a live situation. And I hope these videos give people some insight on how they might improve in these ways so they can participate in free sparring like you mentioned, in a meaningful and beneficial way! Thanks for bringing your perspective!
@@phoenixmountaintaichi The Essence of Tai Chi from my point a view is that it is trying to teach us how to create the outcomes that we want, which will allow us to remain calm in any situation.
It easier align a 'principle,' than practice and get nothing from it, but things to think about. You know? Express 'truth,' as oppose to base 'confidence in fighting' on pretend. Basic idea of skill is that it's not something you can learn from someone, although someone can show you what is correct, by demonstration. And. Then it take you many year to 'wear' skilll comfortably, via realize a 'principle.' This a very 'weak' demonstration. You have to break 'habit' of futility. And if you do that, you disprove 'physics' axiom, for ever action there is an equal and opposite reaction. And you do this by embodiment of basic spiritual principle call 'rest.' You do 2. And you a master.
You're correct that Yang Qi flows up the back and Yin Qi flows down the front. In this presentation what I'm referring to is another Qi, the Qi that coats the surface of our body. You sound knowledgeable and so you have probably seen how in Tai Chi or other Chinese writing, all kinds of different energies are all called Qi. So you are right about the direction of Yin and Yang. You are also right to correct my terminology about "flow" because really I meant "Awareness", particularly and insistently, of the surface, rather than to the interior of the body. So as you master your Yin and Yang flow, you may become aware of other qualities of energy in your body. And you may discover one of which is like what is referred to in this video, something that is aside from what you have known, not contrary to, nor disproven, by what you have mastered. If you like the topic of Yang up the back and Yin down the front that is actually the next video that will go up on in 3 days, discussing Peng and its training in greater depth! I hope you enjoy that one. Thank you for your comment!
@@phoenixmountaintaichi thank you for your answer. I guess what you are referring to as "awareness" is what in Chen Style TaiJi is the Spiraling force which is also an expression of Qi Flow on the surface of the body. I look forward to your next Video.
Yes maybe! You may have a wonderfully trained low kick and as Bruce Lee says don't fear 10000 moves fear the one move trained 10000 times. And you clearly have a lot of confidence in your low kick so you can take pride in what you have trained. You can enjoy the confidence that gives you. You can enjoy too even more successes that this confidence can help you accomplish, until you discover, just as you have surely experienced before, that life is more than one dimensional and a time comes when developing other qualities and ways of succeeding will take you even further. And how will you be feeling as you develop your complete repertoire? When you develop softer and subtler skills will you be as successful as other fighters that have become more well rounded? What will you be become more skillful at that can help you succeed at what you love? Thank you for commenting and sharing a different view. 🙏
@@latetodagame1892 I'm just always looking to try and find incredible marital artists on RUclips and there really doesn't seem to be a lot of them. How about you? To me the purpose of the video is a demonstration- so ya the student is following instructions, but if you wanna critique the Master's ability based on what he shows, if you watch very closely and I mean frame by frame its pretty clear this guy is a grand master. His hand eye recognition speed and body speed to perfectly align his body is lightning fast, even if you know a punch is coming in a general direction, most seasoned fighters couldn't react and neutralize that fast. He's able to move at a speed that's comprobable to someone just guessing when the students gonna throw a punch. And I'm not even mentioning the tai chi techniques he's implementing. So I definitely don't think he's bad, I think he's one of the best I've seen.
@@songninja at 0:52 I don't see real technique. Watch Augustine Fong's Wing Chun if you want to see a master. (Fong knows Tai Chi as well.) A lot of people pretend to do Wing Chun on RUclips, but they break simple concepts like giving up the line. If you trained with him or one of his students, you'd feel confident you could use your skills out in the "real world."
Thank you for explaining in clear terms and giving exact practice methods. Really good!

Very interesting point about centimetres versus millimeters! Thank you for sharing. 🙌

I call that "You don't want to be Where you are, You want to be Where you are going".
There is some deep wisdom to that simple statement that I will reflect upon a bit!

@@nvisblfist1Yes I describe it as learning to be whole, free, and in control of your experience. Thank you for sharing the great way you phrase it!

งวดนี้หวยออกอะไรครับ กองสลากพลัส 😄
I'm trying to find out too! 😀
The Qi does not flow down the back. It flows up the back and down the Front. Therefore your theory of Kao is wrong.
You're correct that Yang Qi flows up the back and Yin Qi flows down the front. In this presentation what I'm referring to is another Qi, the Qi that coats the surface of our body. You sound knowledgeable and so you have probably seen how in Tai Chi or other Chinese writing, all kinds of different energies are all called Qi. So you are right about the direction of Yin and Yang.

How do you know where Qi flows?

Lol, dont believe him. He cant even properly kick low 😂
You are really bad
why do you think he's bad?
I used to try to be good! Until I realized the way is to just be. 🙏
@@songninja it's clear his student is playing along. Attackers are not cooperative.
