Chen Style Tai Chi Old Frame - Master Xiao

[WuSuanSo]

This is a remix of Chen style Taichi, old frame, first routine (Lao jia yi lu). The title is misleading.

Thank you for taking time to share the correction. The specifics are sincerely appreciated.

Tai Chi is very very deadly, but then again, everything is deadly when you punch using you Chi.

I've already learned how to run using my Chi and I can run 5 times the distance that way compared to using my muscles.

no I THINK tai chi is to use your opponents force against him/her.

can u really fight other people with this? i mean tai chi is only for defence right? so like if someone is trying to pick a fight u can't hit that person first?

nice video :]

Tai chi is not a marshal art. It was designed originally to promote one's health, to build up a consciousness of peace and ease in a strictly controlled movement. It was for meditative type of relaxation. The rise of the hands at the start symbolizes the rise of the sun thus it is also metaphysical. One needs to practise chi kung alone for years in order to direct the chi to the momement in Tai chi. The harmonization of both is the ultimate goal of tai chi. Defense is secondary and casual.

@david1234lee very wrong. It was originally designed to kill. People practiced Tajiquan for maximum power since the practitioners were professional fighters and that's what they did for living. A lot of Chen Family Tajiquan masters didn't live longer than 70 years due to excessive fa-jing even when their channels weren't clear. The idea of Chen Taiji being a "health art" came way later. You might be confusing Taijiquan with Wudang's Taji disciplines
