Tai Chi: Fundamentals

[SKIFTIGER]

I believe the like of this video is incorrect as this is absolute krap.

[TheFOIBOS]

This is american propaganda...not original tai chi.

[Shrukain22]

@EAReporter You do know that that's how you actually pronounce "wheel", right? The words have an "h" behind the "w" for a reason. Anyone who was taught proper English knows this.

[leobardorubio]

ski move!!??  Americans always changing everything.

[Tengent]

Oh lord, this reminds me of the Cat Massage lady..

[MrAcronim]

@EAReporter oh you have rueeened this for me lol

[knotytjhing]

Took my 1st Tai Chi lesson outdors last night. woke up trying motions I had learned. Video simplicity relaxed this novice.. THANKS..

My suggestion is that you decide on what you want. Do you want to learn some physical exercise to improve your health or do you want to learn traditional authentic Tai Chi Chuan, a martial art which develops your inner energy skills teaching you to use less effort to produce big results?

[SwamiOrchestra]

This is bull

[elcordobito]

Come on people, relax. That's all about, otherwise go to China.

[HardstyleMatt]

I don't want to learn from someone who isn't chinese :/

[jasma98]

This is very informative but beginners should not follow this. You could develop bad habits if you do. Find a good master who can point you towards an accurate understanding of the principles stated so clearly in this video.

[headfirstintoawall]

@jasma98 any suggestions? links?

[schlachthauz]

This woman has a slightly insane personality. I expected her to dive off the bridge and catch a fish in her mouth.

[Palicaid]

es un bonito lugar... base para relajar... pero, aquí no enseña. Le falta para ser la práctica tan milenaria como es Tai Chi Chuan, dónde los movimientos todos tienen un propósito. Investigar y ver Zan San Fo y luego los maestros verdaderos que nos están enseñando cosas... Pero, en este lugar vale todo... ¡Salud!

[ChannelKGBs]

Which of those pixels is tai chi?

[xXMrDiamondXx]

That is no Tai Chi, she has no Idea about the Energy, she just does some stupid moves without understanding anything.

[ChenStyleJohn]

I love that they include statements from the classics, how clear and specific she is, and how gentle is her instruction.

Sure, it's true that she can't be considered a master by any means, but we need more people like her, willing to share the love. Thanks so much for the effort!

:o)

[TheAzzyman]

what is this?

[witchcerridwen]

i love the way you explain and begib with the basics.

[noklarok]

follow what she says not what she does,, she twists her upper body too much , and leans too much,, my understanding is that you should be able to draw a horizontal line through the body

[sniperdoc8404]

Please do not call this Taji... there are no elements of Taiji present. First of all, the body should not be swaying side to side.Secondly, the concept of differentiating Yin and Yang has to do with making sure you do not place weight on the wrong foot as your change postures, i.e. moving from a Bow and Arrow stance into the False Leg stance or vice versa. I would consider this more of a Qigong.

[sarosh92]

yes, should not be teaching yet. this video is an example of what not to do...

[Dragonswell]

Should not be teaching yet.

[Dragonswell]

Structure not strong. Upper center driving, not tantien. No sinking. Not a great exemplar.

[mamrdi4all]

Its funny, the moment she says: we are not twisting the upper body, she does :D. But her pelvis is stunning.

[Jahrass7]

very basic good fundamentals for neophytes

[IgnacioYana]

a quien le interesa que practiques kung fu chuan kiloman o lo que sea , tai chi es equilibrio sendero luminoso

viva jakie chan
