Your movements break the thread of silk. If its qi development you seek, then you you need to keep looking. It's not about the form but how you move that is taiji or oneness with qi.

An intersesting interpretation of WCC Chen's form. O'Sensei said: 'The pattern itself is only secondary.Find the patterns true meaning, awaken your soul, and gain mastery of the heart!" Also, "Do not be imprisoned by form."

[kaifinn]

that is so true. but unfortunalty not everybody gets that. and they will be prisoners within the form

[kaifinn]

there are indeed many tai-chi praticioners. who claim to perform the form just like the master. forgetting that a form is like a living peace of art. wich can never be performed the same. they are stuck in the first stage of tai-chi. they must learn to break free, from the master.

As a long time student of Grandmaster Chen, I am wondering who taught you this form, or is it a combination of our form with contemporary Wushu movements? Are the hand gestures you have added to express the fa-jing in your form? Overly expressing fajing does not add power, but caused a disconnected taichi (the chi not following breath). I have seen Cheng Man-Ch'ing's form done by students of the Shr Jung School in Taiwan and none have the Wushu hand gestures / head movements you are using.

[kaifinn]

there are many ways to perform a form. tai-chi is in the first place a martial art, this form is more a martial aproach. when i do this form for chi development. the form is indeed without the fa-jing. and somewhat slower

Good video overall. Some personal observations. The body and the arms/legs limbs however are not in coordination. Arms moves faster than the rest of the body. Another important point is the weight transfer. The weight should be transferred slowly from 0%-5%-10%...100% in each movement. The slow weight transfer is missing in the video. Each weight transfer is done like turning on the light switch on and off.

[kaifinn]

correct, the form is performed twice his original speed. that why the weightshifts are also fast

[pistonhurricane]

i feel like the form would benefit from a slower pace. as i understand it, the movements should follow your breathing, and your breathing should be relaxed and unforced. with such quick movement, i doubt your breathing can remain relaxed.

another benefit slowing down may have for your form is a cleaner weight shift from one foot to another. when you step into postures, you clearly fall into your step, rather than place your foot, then shift into the step, which helps build power. good luck!

[pistonhurricane]

why so fast?

[kaifinn]

if i do it slow it takes twice as long. and there is but a surain amount of MB that you can use on you tube. that why.
