Several years ago I had a 10 minute introductory lesson in Wu Tai Chi. I enjoyed it and remember that I slept like a baby that night; Never slept better.

Well I have been practising Wu Chian Chuan ti ji quan for 14 years now, and it is not the same style as I practise. Prefer my style taught by Sifu Ma Jian Bo father Master Ma died in 1998, one of Chinas national treasures and recorded as one of the top 100 fighters to of ever lived in Chinese history!!!
This is just sooo beutiful - seriously. I am a yang style pratitioner myself and I don`t know anything about Wu style but it just looks awesome. 5 Stars! :)
nah... Wu dang refers to the mountains of the Taoist priests who also trained in martial arts. Wu style tai chi is of family origin... just as Yang style and Chen style. there are many others but these three and of course Wu Dang are the most prominent
Nah... there is no anger. Just this TaiChiTex was flapping his gums about how high and mighty he is with is extensive background, and i just noticed coming back to reply to you that he has deleted all the nasty little things he said towards me, in fear of ruining his humble status! LOL
People like TaiChiTex are very typical. The unnecessary crap he said, then goes back and deletes it. If fear people will see the true person he really is. Putting on a front his whole life, all I did was let him open up a bit and show his true colors. But since he has deleted all his comments, guess no one will ever know his childish ways and egotistical rampage, as evident by the thumbs down he gave my comments. Which I never gave or took away kudos for his comments. why did he delete them, odd
i never said Tai Chi is from WuDang. i said the most prominate styles are those of the different Tai chi styles Wu, Chen and Yang and of cours Wu Dang. wow! you really are a prick aren't you!
I've also been training for many years myself. Kajukembo though, and capoeira... i've trained a bit of Qigong and TaiChi from a friend of mine who is actually of the Wu style, he's name is Wu Fei Long and right now trains with cirque de soleil.
seems like your trying to back pedal for sounding like a jerk. dont cast your own misunderstandings on to me... i was answering someones question, to the reason he's confused about Wu style taichi and Wu Dang is cause they are both well known. but i never said they were the same did i? nope... and now here you are!!! amazing how humble and respectful you aren't!!! HAHAHA!
the last straw was when we were in the natatorium taking karate and we were waiting on a student. i could sense when he opened the door of the building and i said "oh here's tyrone, he just entered the building" and everyone turned and looked at me. 2 minutes later he comes into the room and again everyone looked at me. i was like ... uggg gotta stop reading that manual.
i'll have to look it up you're the 2nd person to ask. it looked fairly common and had a green cover. i think i researched the master and he seemed legit. i remember like the first several chapters went into detail about philosophy instead of form.
i was studying a manual on my own. tell me if this has happened to you. the manual went into very detailed spiritual awakening. I did all the exercises for that part. when i started the form itself i started "noticing" things more. at first i thought it was just a curiosity but then... I could tell when people entered the building, I could sense people moods from a distance.
You Freak! I thought I was the only one who noticed the Chulks! LMCO!! Anyways... I've always wanted to concentrate more in my chi. But everytime I reach a good concentration point and begin to exert great amounts of energy I loose Focus. I need a training partner. Any masters out there? contact me please..
Stop trying so hard. Maintain the focus, rather than trying to manifest intent. The intent will manifest itself. The energy will flow more with persistent practice.
I have been doing Yang Style 24 short form Taiji for 8 years. I was instructed by my friend. I only wish I can meet someone with the same taiji style who is a master so I can reach the level of master so I can help people with Taiji
Each movement relates to a health benefit. For example, Sqatting Single Whip, or; Snake Creaps through grass help to open the pelvic bone area. As you sink, the blood circulation inceases. This in turn helps with better bodily posture and increased white cell blood count and circulation through the body itself.
I agree. when I was in the second year of my Taiji, my friend, who was disturbing me in my concentration; ended up on the end of a single whip. I had no idea who owned the hand upon my shoulder and when I turned around I ended up pushing my friend across the gymnasium. I fel so terrible! I had told my friend John that when I do Taiji it is best to not disturb me as I go into a state of trance...we still joke abou that to this day
sifu tsao, good news!! tai chi is now compulsery at my school!! (wich is odd cause i live in australia?) it probably wont include the martial art aspect but still,
Flat soles make them a popular shoe with the tai chi crowd. If you look at the Feiyue sneakers (what shaolin monks wear), they are very similar. canvas with a rubber sole. the flat sole helps you to root and balance when doing the movements, as opposed to say running sneakers with the arch, makes it unstable. :-)
I did Tai Chi for some time and indeed it helps alot with your balance relaxation, I always felt sumhow relaxed and ready to take on my day after it. I think the whole video is great including the black AllStars;) I'll be visiting the channel more often :)
I agree. There is somthing about the chinese culture that is aluring and peacefull and meaningful. I just wish that I could find a good teacher to help me refine my skills.
I love this video and agree on the postures and chi flow. I have been doing Yang Tai Chi for 8 years and it has help me over come an injury and acid reflux. I recommend Tai Chi to anyone.
Tai chi is nessecry for anybody who wants to learn a martial arts. Tai chi help regulate bodys internal chi and let it evenly flow into differents part of the body. I do tai chi every morning to help with my martial arts. I recomend anybody who wants to learn martial art to learn how to do tai chi.
@Vietboi001 Thank God!!! Someone who doesn't compare Tai-Chi to MMA and realizes that it actually has good principles and fundamentals to other martial arts!
@DanishButterCookies2 actually you can use it to fight but it has alot of health benefits since it requires breathing and works out the hips and other parts of your body

This is a perfect opportunity to learn and practice T'ai Chi with a T'ai Chi master. For more information visit TCMofNY . com
well, whenyou some up stuff like youtube, maybe pubs, or a cinemamovie and similar there might be sparetime you can "sacrifice" to learn tai chi. also there are training dvds so you can work at home for only ten minutes if you dont want to give time to go into training (even I think personal contact and advice is most healthy, it is most healthy to do something instead of doing nothing right ^^) have a nice day.
i do tai chi at school and it is very benificial for you and it started at about 913 bc and is about calmness and how to fight in a proper ancient battle.
sure thats why this vids are here to learn from right ^^ even I am sure I did not really learn proper tai chi it helped to relax muscles and do better kicks and energyexperiences.. too bad people judge only from the eye and not from the experience.
he buscado otros medios para tener paz pero no lo he logrado, el tai chi me hizo ver las cosas de otra manera todo lo veia con mas grandeza y me sentia muy alegre. ahora que no practico me siento solo, amargado, y la vida sin sentido, hasta he pensado en suicidarme. creo que voy a volver a practicar pero mejor.
im serious. a day i was practicing tai chi chuan cheng style and over 8:00pm night i was practicing the Zen meditation in the darkness suddenly a little sparks flowing from my hands. i felt as if were nothing impossible to me. since then, for another reasons i left practicing tai chi. but i think that is time to begin again.
This is very good. Not my style but I did a number of seminars with Wu style master. He was tiny guy but you could not pay me enough to try to punch him. He was blindingly fast with lots of internal power. I can see the coiling power in this man. Watch his sword form - very highly skilled!!
guys seriously stop bahing this guy, he is a master. seriously i read up about him. he is devoted to his art and really, he is probably better than anyone in the western hemisphere err something.
Wii otro latino !! xD hey este Maestro es demasiado amable le envie un correo y tuvo la paciencia de responder !! :D , lo admiro mucho espero q siga subiendo videos !!
sere el unico latino q comente? xD este video esta super , este señor enseña demasiado bien , la manera en q explica todo !! hasta la musica esta buena ; ) exelente video
Tai Chi Chuan,or Grand Ultimate Fist is a wonderful art that I have truly come to love,and I believe that this video shows great techniques and the true meaning of Martial Arts all in general. Self Defense without straining the body. That is my view on the situation. Great Video,5/5
I think all styles were created during self discovering and "deeper" feeling of your own body through relaxation of different parts of it. The relaxed body feels healthy and full of inner strength. Then this relaxation gives the opportunity for a lot faster movements which used for self defense later on were developed into martial arts, based on this inner force of relaxation. So I think first people didn't think of hurting smo else, instead of feeling well in their own body...
he's actually completely right. while Tai Chi did become about relaxation and health, it comes directly from ancient gong fu, and there still remain today a few styles of Tai Chi that are combat applicable. in fact, all of these moves are based on countering certain imaginary attacks. and no, the first martial arts were meant to KILL. the Greeks invented the first martial art, and people frequently died during the Olympic matches.
FYI, that's Chinese music in the background, in case you couldn't figure it out. Quite fitting for the martial arts he is demonstrating.
Additionally, Tai Chi is one of the most deadly forms of martial arts. If you don't believe me, then do some research before you try to disrespect this form of martial arts.
I gave tai chi up. there's too much claptrap and mystical bollix spouted about it. I've trained with the winner of 5 gold medals in chinese competiton and I practised under one of his main students for 5 years and learned nowt about kung fu. don't bother . Wing chun is by far the most practical and interesting chinese system and has a pragmatic approach which will handle any opponent. I've learned more about martial arts in 2 years wing chun than in all my previous years' practice.
so maybe thats why you dont find tai chi interesting, because your only interested in the combat applications... most martial arts (or, the older ones anyway) were not invented as a means of fighting. they were used for health and whatnot. just my 2 cents...
nonsense. Tai chi chuan means grand ultimate fist. Tai chi is a combat system which has been watered down in the west into a load of new age claptrap by people who don't know the difference between king fu and bloody yoga. all martial arts were invented as combat systems. I would have thought that the word 'martial' in the name would give you a clue. You are the kind of numpty who has ruined tai chi.
I'm thinking about trying Tai Chi, but serious question: is it boring to do it for more than 10 minutes? I don't want to waste money on lessons if all you do is wave your arms around :)
Although... I'm alittle confused about Tai Chi personally; I know most lessons are about "Tai Chi" as a dance movement and not a Martial Art, even though it was originally suppost to be one.
as graceful and beautiful thai chi is it seems onlt to be an art form and a mental game i respect all the opinions of others but i believe that thai chi is at best an art form and not very practical as say muay thai or jui jitsu thank you have a good day
If you are referring to tai chi (also spell it right.... it is in the title) as in these slow sets then you are incorrect. These slow sets are designed to build breath. If used in actual form it would be fast. However, whatever you get here in the states is most likely not tai chi and only a simplified version used for its health form..... lazy Americans (im Canadian but hey we are kinda lazy too)
i watched the tai chi fight between the masters recently and i do agree that it is rather gracefull and fast all i was refering to was that it is not a practical style. you dont really see it used in fighting :) good day
people who get into fights are generally stupid, headstrong or a whole list of things which i personally consider negative traits, tai chi masters are usually devoid of such traits and therefore you wont ever see one in a fight.
double weighted means: double yang or double yin. both legs stand doesn't mean it is doulbe weight. energy is in the lower end and light at the upper body. it is all the using the mind.
the leaning actual extend the projectile of the dan tien. it has an effect of elogating your opponent and press
Duh! wouldn't you be wearing shoes aswell? he is on sand after all, i like the tai chi and oriental melodies, they're awesome, not ba movment either, definitely worth the watch!!

im serious. a day i was practicing tai chi chuan cheng style and over 8:00pm night i was practicing the Zen meditation in the darkness suddenly a little sparks flowing from my hands. i felt as if were nothing impossible to me. since then, for another reasons i left practicing tai chi. but i think that is time to begin again.

This is very good. Not my style but I did a number of seminars with Wu style master. He was tiny guy but you could not pay me enough to try to punch him. He was blindingly fast with lots of internal power. I can see the coiling power in this man. Watch his sword form - very highly skilled!!

Tai Chi Chuan,or Grand Ultimate Fist is a wonderful art that I have truly come to love,and I believe that this video shows great techniques and the true meaning of Martial Arts all in general. Self Defense without straining the body. That is my view on the situation. Great Video,5/5

I think all styles were created during self discovering and "deeper" feeling of your own body through relaxation of different parts of it. The relaxed body feels healthy and full of inner strength. Then this relaxation gives the opportunity for a lot faster movements which used for self defense later on were developed into martial arts, based on this inner force of relaxation. So I think first people didn't think of hurting smo else, instead of feeling well in their own body...

Tai Chi is the 'Supreme Ultimate Force.' You obviously have no concept of the meaning. Do your research before you ridicule.
lessthn0 4 years ago 3
I didnt know it was also Supreme Ultimate Force,thanks for letting us know. =) I always knew it as Grand Ultimate Fist.
ANBURockLee94 4 years ago
he's actually completely right. while Tai Chi did become about relaxation and health, it comes directly from ancient gong fu, and there still remain today a few styles of Tai Chi that are combat applicable. in fact, all of these moves are based on countering certain imaginary attacks. and no, the first martial arts were meant to KILL. the Greeks invented the first martial art, and people frequently died during the Olympic matches.
TempvsMortis 4 years ago
FYI, that's Chinese music in the background, in case you couldn't figure it out. Quite fitting for the martial arts he is demonstrating.
Additionally, Tai Chi is one of the most deadly forms of martial arts. If you don't believe me, then do some research before you try to disrespect this form of martial arts.

I gave tai chi up. there's too much claptrap and mystical bollix spouted about it. I've trained with the winner of 5 gold medals in chinese competiton and I practised under one of his main students for 5 years and learned nowt about kung fu. don't bother . Wing chun is by far the most practical and interesting chinese system and has a pragmatic approach which will handle any opponent. I've learned more about martial arts in 2 years wing chun than in all my previous years' practice.
duaneshadow 4 years ago
so maybe thats why you dont find tai chi interesting, because your only interested in the combat applications... most martial arts (or, the older ones anyway) were not invented as a means of fighting. they were used for health and whatnot. just my 2 cents...
SorrowfulInsanity 4 years ago
nonsense. Tai chi chuan means grand ultimate fist. Tai chi is a combat system which has been watered down in the west into a load of new age claptrap by people who don't know the difference between king fu and bloody yoga. all martial arts were invented as combat systems. I would have thought that the word 'martial' in the name would give you a clue. You are the kind of numpty who has ruined tai chi.
duaneshadow 4 years ago
I'm thinking about trying Tai Chi, but serious question: is it boring to do it for more than 10 minutes? I don't want to waste money on lessons if all you do is wave your arms around :)
HOWYOUDOIN884 4 years ago
In early stages it's quite a physical workout, after practice you begin to feel the energy flows and that is not boring :)
supainfo 4 years ago
Although... I'm alittle confused about Tai Chi personally; I know most lessons are about "Tai Chi" as a dance movement and not a Martial Art, even though it was originally suppost to be one.
Is it really usefull as a Martial Art?
TheDireAvenger 4 years ago
Tai chi is a devastating martial art. Take a look at my channel for some examples.
My guess is that only 1% of teachers actually know how to USE tai chi.

There are certain degree of similarity among different styles of Tai Chi. For this clip, I think it is more like a Wu than Chen style.

as graceful and beautiful thai chi is it seems onlt to be an art form and a mental game i respect all the opinions of others but i believe that thai chi is at best an art form and not very practical as say muay thai or jui jitsu thank you have a good day
deviljin500 4 years ago
If you are referring to tai chi (also spell it right.... it is in the title) as in these slow sets then you are incorrect. These slow sets are designed to build breath. If used in actual form it would be fast. However, whatever you get here in the states is most likely not tai chi and only a simplified version used for its health form..... lazy Americans (im Canadian but hey we are kinda lazy too)
firehels 4 years ago
i watched the tai chi fight between the masters recently and i do agree that it is rather gracefull and fast all i was refering to was that it is not a practical style. you dont really see it used in fighting :) good day
deviljin500 4 years ago
Actually, [u]you[/u] don't see it used in fighting. I've seen it used in fighting plenty.
TimWatkins 4 years ago
people who get into fights are generally stupid, headstrong or a whole list of things which i personally consider negative traits, tai chi masters are usually devoid of such traits and therefore you wont ever see one in a fight.

What is the move - whole upper body bented down with a semi-cicle motion? I do not see Tai Chi principle in this move? Please help.

I have couple questions (Student level):
1. Why is the single whip in double weighted?
2. Why during the back step with high press the upper body leaning forward?
3. Why the palm is flat ad fingles are opened?
Sorry for the interruption, please help for my questions.
Best,
TSYnTube 4 years ago
double weighted means: double yang or double yin. both legs stand doesn't mean it is doulbe weight. energy is in the lower end and light at the upper body. it is all the using the mind.
the leaning actual extend the projectile of the dan tien. it has an effect of elogating your opponent and press
