An beautiful variant of the standard Yang Cheng-fu long form. I am particularly interested in the Grasp Sparrow's Tail sequence through all three parts. After the Ji, the left hand moves over and wraps around the right wrist. This initiates an elegant transition into the withdrawal and the subsequent An. Can anyone tell me about the origin of that left palm wrapping? (And the form of the An?). Is anyone familiar with the hand movement called "Double Lotus"? thanks
I believe it came from the founder of the Rochester Tai Chi Chuan Center when he used this section in a beginner form called the Four Direction form. It was used as a grip release.
Good and thank you
I enjoyed watching this. Thanks.
Beautiful movement, thank you.
Are there belts in this style?
to hold up pants, yes
