I gave up doing Yang style long form as I had become tired of it - too long. Now I realise that this was probably because my mind was running ahead of the movements. In the meantime I have been doing Qigong - easier to learn & teach. This video is much shorter & would be a good exemplar for anyone. Those of limited flexability would have to amend or miss "snake creeps down". I recommend this highly because it incorporates all the essential elements of 3 parts of the Yang families long form..
@TheSteelKage It's martial arts - a ton of the moves in taiji are joint locks, strikes, throws... This form (one of manymany) consists of 24 poses that make up a kind of alphabet of moves. Most those moves have been internalized to the point where it doesn't look like fighting. One can fight with taiji, definitely better than someone who doesn't study martial arts, but it's quite often studied more for health and fitness than for aggression or self-defense (at least in the US).
I heard that it is performed this slowly to really work the details of the movements and that if you were to use it in real combat, it's extremly deadly. Do you know anything about that?
@felixkjoller Yeah, totally. All forms of taiji are full of breaks, locks, etc... once you deeply understand the form, it's very easy to wrap yourself around an opponent and snap something important.
One saying goes that a one-year taiji student will lose most fights against other one-year fighters, but that a ten-year taiji student will win most fights against other ten-year fighters.
It has been suggested I study this in class because I am stiff w osteoarthritis and have poor balance. But after watching all her knee work, I can't imagine being able to do. Others with knee problems try? have advice? thanks.
@madagasarjoan There is a Tai Chi dvd which is focused more on those who have arthritis which is said to be good. I have trouble with my knees and I have found that tai chi does help with the problems, just make sure you go as far as you can go :)
she is doing the 24 forms here. Which is actually a Yang style.. all of it is. It is not a mixture of styles. Gao Jiamin happens to be among the cream of the top of people who can do this form correctly. I have seen this form done differently and it looks horrendous.
@hotstepper1976 Yes this art looks weak and slow but believe me anyone with the knowledge of the art can hurt anyone easily let alone kill you with a strike. The art form pays close attention to detail of the human anatomy and the control of blood in the human body as well as pressure points. Do not underestimate this beautiful and at the same time deadly art form of martial art. Peace
Last year, I saw some tai chi videos that had the name of each form in subtitles (needle at the bottom of the ocean, repulse the monkey). I didn't bookmark those and can't find them now. Anyone know which tai chi vids had those?
Tai Chi is physical meditation. She doesn't remember half the training she does I bet. I zone out hard when I do 24 form because I'm so into the fluidity. People make fun of it because it brags chi development, and say that it would never work on them. I laugh because I guarantee the combat application is 100% unpredictable when its up in your face coming from someone 12" off the ground moving at goku speed. Get money.
Looks so easy, but sooooooooooooooooo difficult. If interested, we could go to Maymont in the Spring and give it a try. Wilson offers free classes there each Saturday morning. A wonderful meditation. Kisses
@roberta1213 it's not easy to master (and i don't even talk about precision) but it really worth it and must be practised everyday. If you can practice locally, do it. I use myself a video from Tai Chi 24 forms from Dr Paul Lam, very detailed one.
just watching her made me so very relaxed, even though there is no way in the world i could do anything she does............. she makes it look effortless...................thank you so very much
But the thing is @billboerickeable, is that when I listen to any of these instruments itself, I wonder how it makes those long and graceful notes. Do you mind telling me a bit more???
@AndrewLuc1 Sorry it took to long to get back. The Erhu is played with a bow on two strings like a violin so it can make a continuous note without stopping. I'm sure you can find lots of samples on youtube but one of the great players in the world, Mei Xuan, tours with Shen Yun Performing Arts. You should check them out if you get a chance. I think they just use really fast fingers to get the seemingly continuous sound out of the Pipa.
@AndrewLuc1 Sounds to me like main instruments are the Erhu (4 thousand year old two stringed violin) and the Pipa (sort of like lute). There are a couple others - maybe a woodwind or flute of some sort that I can't recognize.
@broomeboy33 Actually every piece of this form is in someway a self defense technique. Even the slowest of motions here are usually deadly. Snake creeps down (When she turns her back, her wrist comes to her side, then she pushes it up, as well as the opposite leg.) is actually a very deadly move.
Seek the straght through curves. This is the golden rule of taichi and her grace lies in the circular moment of which she is always the center. She is one of the best I have seen! Just magnificent!
what's the point of this moves dudes,i am boxing but i am also an open minded,so i would like to know something about this "martial art" what's up with it?
@noobsmoke1993 Here is the point: as a boxer you throw a punch, the tai chi guy leans back as you extend your arm; with one hand against your wrist he uses his other hand to hit your elbow and breaks your arm; for good measure and at the same time he kicks down on your knee and breaks your limb.
@chaguanas pretty intersting,but isn't the punch of a medium boxer like me (3 years) too fast to go and to fast to get back to be able the Tai chi guy get this moves?
@noobsmoke1993 What you are looking at is traditional forms and today most people do for health benefits. A fighter would not be so formal, or so slow. The difference between tai chi (or martial arts) is a boxing match may go 12 rounds, a tai chi fighter aims to end the fight with a single blow and tries to maim or kill. Sorry to be so graphic, it is not something one brags about, but I am trying to explain the theory behind what you are seeing.
@noobsmoke1993 It takes far more strength and skill to be able to do these moves slowly than fast. So practicing slow and then speeding up, as one would do with playing an instrument, would give you a better skill foundation than trying to start fast. Or at least that is how I see it. Try any one of these moves at this speed and you would likely fall on your ass.
@noobsmoke1993 The purpose of Tai Chi being practiced at such a slow speed is to infuse every sinuous strand of muscle with the motion so that when it comes time to preform the sequence at speed it will be done with such alacrity that a 3 year or even 40 year boxer would have no chance of defending. Even if you were able to bring up a rudimentary guard in time the impact would use both their momentum and your own potential energy to floor you.
@noobsmoke1993 Tai Chi is considered an internal martial art. It's as much of the mind as it is the movement. These look like flowery moves in slow motion, but, sped up and done with force, can be extremely useful in fighting. What looks like flowing hands in front of the face (at 2:25) are actually effective blocking motions. What looks like someone essentially holding a guitar (at 0:19) is a block/strike to the throat. Look up Tai Chi fighting. Worth your while!
She learned awesome .. becoz i am also practicing this kind of methods..the lovely thing is ....she had a thought of spreading the methods or teaching this through videos and utilized the internet very good .. Great Job... from this moment i am a fan of Sifu Gao Jiamin
wow I did not know she was prestigious. Knew nothing of her credentials or whom she was but saw this, liked it and kept saying "wow that's cool; she's cool" throughout the entire vid. It seemed like a long 4:38 but I really like that. I was into running for awhile and during the vid a runner goes by in the background. Totally uninteresting compared to the tai chi. I just through out a tai chi book I had for years but never read, but then realized I'd like to learn more. good times.
@aikidofanatic123 you will have to lose weight with your physical strength ant workouts. And yes, those tai chi exercises will help you to improve your chi energy, gather it into one part of your body, or another. You will be able to do that faster. You will also be able to concentrate on something more easily.
WOW Tai Chi looks really cool! I wonder what its relation is to Kung Fu because I really love Kung Fu movies. I just saw one called “Films of Fury” which just came out on demand and it had some of the best action sequences I’ve ever seen!
I did this form my last year at university...but my friends and I could never make it look quite that graceful. I've forgotten most of it, but this video makes me want to attempt it again!
So glad I found this video...I had tai chi lessons every morning for 2 months while I was studying abroad in China, but I was starting to forget some of the moves after being back home for a while. Thank you, whoever uploaded this!
@kyorgadorgen This isn't avatar, Lol. Taichi is about being AS graceful as water, constantly moving and never becoming stale. Other than that though, it's about internal regeneration of your health, usually only for old people. There's no correlation between tai chi and the four elements, although you are taught to respect them.
This is Sifu Gao Jiamin. Here she demonstrates the Yang Form - Bejing Style. She is the epitome of grace, style and modesty. 1990s world champion, winner of 32 gold medals. Lovingly referred to as the Queen of Tai Chi. Her combat techniques are exceeded only by her charm, wit, warmth and generosity.
@DamonArizona Tai Chi uses combat techniques, they are just slowed down and performed on air :3 I was surprised too when my teacher first showed us what we could use each position for xD
@wisewoof Oh, I see now. Yeah, she does it a bit different than us, mostly just that it seems like she's missing a step. The one right after you lock your arm and pull them down, deep sea needle.
To me the Arts have nothing to do with fighting an opponent. It merely is a benefit as a defense. To me this represents harmony. There is so much more to this in my opinion than self defense or as a fighting art. I have yet to meet anyone nor have I tried to meet anyone who share's my opinion about the Arts and all I can think about lately is why I haven't moved to where those people are, because I feel that they are out there. This video is beautiful. Anyone who comments negative is closed
@weaverzinc I am moved to comment on your statements. You may have to search for a while, but believe me, there are like-minded people everywhere. Perhaps you have to open yourself up by searching out classes/instructors of various styles who share your philosophy. I've been in this game for almost 50 years, and have had to sort through a lot of trash to find the treasures that are always there. The internet makes our search much easier. Good luck! email me if questions: spiritualma@gmail.com
youtube*com/watch?v=-Ch_Uj-1Lss&feature=related All forms of Martial art what China got is from India.. read about bodhidarma ..also Circling in Bagua in relation to India arts.. Marma yoga vs accupressure vs accupuncture.. years past,hard to track it back
I LOVE Taichi by the way, I just don't view it as being combat practical anymore because the motions train body strength and balance as opposed to speed, pain resistance, and combative striking. It is wonderful for health, and don't decline to do it just because I say it doesn't help in the streets. The truth is 98-99% of what a martial arts school will teach you can't help you in the street because there are no rules and the enemies don't fight like martial artists most of the time.
@Minatour94 funny thing is if you open your mind to the energy involved you will then be able to gracefully and with ease conquer any challenge. Some lack the sense of clairvoyance and synchronicity associated with the arts. A street fight is brought about by lack of control, so anyone who get's into a street fight certainly lacks the control of self to easily avoid it. There's not enough room on this comment board to go into the finite details. Openyour mindto the impossible, n it will b
I just returned from studying Wushu in Beijing. The members of the Beijing Wushu A-Team train competition-style Wushu as opposed to combat Wushu, but I'm still sure they know best. They don't view Taichi as a fighting style, but as a way of controlling one's body. They all agree that advanced taichi takes more strength than any other wushu forms, but for you youtube commentors who think that you're being unique and understanding by saying Taichi is amazing for combat, it's time to be quiet.
The grandmasters of tai chi can send out healing and those watching will benefit from the healing. For those who wish healing I suggest you search dragondragonfung and look for a video with an elderly man dressed in white. This is Fu Zhong Wen a grandmaster. You will receive very strong healing Chi just by watching. He has given us a great gift. Thank you dragondragon for uploading this video. Megweech.
Nem ilyen a 24 es forma csak a kamerának kell hogy mutassa és így egyszerűbb megérteni és esztétikusabbnak hat. Azonban a 24 es formát sokféleképpen lehet megcsinálni. Számomra hibás az a forma amelyiknél a mozgás nem hömpölyög hanem megszakad a mozdulat mert vissza húzza az ember a kezét. A körkörösséget szokták hangsúlyozni hát akkor ragaszkodjunk a kis mozdulatoknál is ezekhez az irány elvekhez. Régen ez a forma volt a kedvencem , és manapság is szívesen nézem és gyakorlom is. Üdv!
Nicely done, though the body still appears slightly too tight/stiff. Regardless, still a very nicely done set with a good sense of mechanics, well done.
@TheBlockTVinc Some differences between this and yoga: Yoga comes from India, Tai Chi from China. Yoga comes from the Hindu tradition, Tai Chi from the Taoist tradition. Tai Chi lacks mat work, lying down on the floor. Most importantly (in my opinion) Yoga focuses more on the positions and Tai Chi focuses more on the transitions between positions. That said, they are both great exercises for health. (but Tai Chi is my favorite)
@diavarezable Just not to much over your foot. And not for to long. I'm not an expert but that's just my experience.. If you look at other videos, even the masters do it a little.. : )
@diavarezable .. you have learned correctly. Bend your knee only as far as you can and should not bend past your foot, because if you do, you are losing your element of balance. You should be able to see your toe past your knee. I'm not an expert but that's what I have read and observed.
This lady is moving so gracefully and elegant it is poetry in motion ,one might forget that she kicked the asses out of atleast half a dozen oppponents, it is really beautiful!!!!! would love to see her live in action preforming this!..
@BurningWicky1 She hasnt, or wont, kick the ass of anybody's with 'tai chi', its for exercise and that alone. Stop buying into it because its foreign and 'new' to you, a boxer would take down anyone who practices tai chi in an instance, no matter how many kung fu films youve seen that would have you believe otherwise, just look at mma for proof. Thats not to say asia has not produced one of the most useful forms of martial arts in history, judo/jjj.
@ccfcobro mma proof? tai ji will help you connect to the life instinct and the chi, which will kick in, in a real fight, live or die situation, the body will do the necessary to overcome the aggression, and this cannot be practised or seen in competitions, of any kind, and so , she wont prove it to you, but if needed....
@kiridequi you know why it isnt seen in competitions? Because it doesn't work. Otherwise, fighters combating in mma events, with the chance of winning MILLIONS worth of dollars, would be using it, its the same as akido, it looks good, but has no substance in real

@kyorgadorgen This isn't avatar, Lol. Taichi is about being AS graceful as water, constantly moving and never becoming stale. Other than that though, it's about internal regeneration of your health, usually only for old people. There's no correlation between tai chi and the four elements, although you are taught to respect them.

This is Sifu Gao Jiamin. Here she demonstrates the Yang Form - Bejing Style. She is the epitome of grace, style and modesty. 1990s world champion, winner of 32 gold medals. Lovingly referred to as the Queen of Tai Chi. Her combat techniques are exceeded only by her charm, wit, warmth and generosity.

To me the Arts have nothing to do with fighting an opponent. It merely is a benefit as a defense. To me this represents harmony. There is so much more to this in my opinion than self defense or as a fighting art. I have yet to meet anyone nor have I tried to meet anyone who share's my opinion about the Arts and all I can think about lately is why I haven't moved to where those people are, because I feel that they are out there. This video is beautiful. Anyone who comments negative is closed

@weaverzinc I am moved to comment on your statements. You may have to search for a while, but believe me, there are like-minded people everywhere. Perhaps you have to open yourself up by searching out classes/instructors of various styles who share your philosophy. I've been in this game for almost 50 years, and have had to sort through a lot of trash to find the treasures that are always there. The internet makes our search much easier. Good luck! email me if questions: spiritualma@gmail.com

I LOVE Taichi by the way, I just don't view it as being combat practical anymore because the motions train body strength and balance as opposed to speed, pain resistance, and combative striking. It is wonderful for health, and don't decline to do it just because I say it doesn't help in the streets. The truth is 98-99% of what a martial arts school will teach you can't help you in the street because there are no rules and the enemies don't fight like martial artists most of the time.
Minatour94 5 months ago
@Minatour94 funny thing is if you open your mind to the energy involved you will then be able to gracefully and with ease conquer any challenge. Some lack the sense of clairvoyance and synchronicity associated with the arts. A street fight is brought about by lack of control, so anyone who get's into a street fight certainly lacks the control of self to easily avoid it. There's not enough room on this comment board to go into the finite details. Openyour mindto the impossible, n it will b

I just returned from studying Wushu in Beijing. The members of the Beijing Wushu A-Team train competition-style Wushu as opposed to combat Wushu, but I'm still sure they know best. They don't view Taichi as a fighting style, but as a way of controlling one's body. They all agree that advanced taichi takes more strength than any other wushu forms, but for you youtube commentors who think that you're being unique and understanding by saying Taichi is amazing for combat, it's time to be quiet.

The grandmasters of tai chi can send out healing and those watching will benefit from the healing. For those who wish healing I suggest you search dragondragonfung and look for a video with an elderly man dressed in white. This is Fu Zhong Wen a grandmaster. You will receive very strong healing Chi just by watching. He has given us a great gift. Thank you dragondragon for uploading this video. Megweech.

Nem ilyen a 24 es forma csak a kamerának kell hogy mutassa és így egyszerűbb megérteni és esztétikusabbnak hat. Azonban a 24 es formát sokféleképpen lehet megcsinálni. Számomra hibás az a forma amelyiknél a mozgás nem hömpölyög hanem megszakad a mozdulat mert vissza húzza az ember a kezét. A körkörösséget szokták hangsúlyozni hát akkor ragaszkodjunk a kis mozdulatoknál is ezekhez az irány elvekhez. Régen ez a forma volt a kedvencem , és manapság is szívesen nézem és gyakorlom is. Üdv!

what's the difference of this and yoga?
TheBlockTVinc 5 months ago
@TheBlockTVinc Some differences between this and yoga: Yoga comes from India, Tai Chi from China. Yoga comes from the Hindu tradition, Tai Chi from the Taoist tradition. Tai Chi lacks mat work, lying down on the floor. Most importantly (in my opinion) Yoga focuses more on the positions and Tai Chi focuses more on the transitions between positions. That said, they are both great exercises for health. (but Tai Chi is my favorite)

@diavarezable Just not to much over your foot. And not for to long. I'm not an expert but that's just my experience.. If you look at other videos, even the masters do it a little.. : )
FabiusPyromanus 6 months ago
@diavarezable .. you have learned correctly. Bend your knee only as far as you can and should not bend past your foot, because if you do, you are losing your element of balance. You should be able to see your toe past your knee. I'm not an expert but that's what I have read and observed.

@BurningWicky1 She hasnt, or wont, kick the ass of anybody's with 'tai chi', its for exercise and that alone. Stop buying into it because its foreign and 'new' to you, a boxer would take down anyone who practices tai chi in an instance, no matter how many kung fu films youve seen that would have you believe otherwise, just look at mma for proof. Thats not to say asia has not produced one of the most useful forms of martial arts in history, judo/jjj.

@ccfcobro mma proof? tai ji will help you connect to the life instinct and the chi, which will kick in, in a real fight, live or die situation, the body will do the necessary to overcome the aggression, and this cannot be practised or seen in competitions, of any kind, and so , she wont prove it to you, but if needed....
