Tai chi competition doesn't make sense !!!

[dshan777]

last 10 or so comments really nice, nothing to add except that it will take time and much insight and some really hard work for her undeveloped internal to catch up with the dominating external. Oh... old video, hopefully she's already there... :-)

Nicely done. No surprise people feel the need to criticize something they can't even see. *eye roll*

I think the w00ting in the beginning is funny. :)

i don't wanna say she is good or bad

but i m pretty sure she has a good teacher

if she keep practice with the same teacher

she will be really good

Taiji is an internal art. She does the external bit well. But nothing is going on inside. Sorry. Tidy but lacking the real business.

[maschinenraum]

maybe she put much effort in it and learned that in a short time. now she can concentrate more on the things inside and that need a litte bit more time. but she is definitly on the right way and i think she is talented.

[eteune]

that's it, I was trying to put my finger on it while watching

there seems to be a lack of internal energy or intensity in all her movements

[snakmac]

yeah it's about 6-7.5

this is a competition right?

the judge does judge on interestingness and this clip is pretty boring

for fluidity, there should be parts that r fast and parts that are like right now

the sword should be guided by the waist (all tai chi are like that)

i guess i dont have to get started with the CHI

I will agree that this is a nice video. However, a critical analysis of Tai Chi theory indicates that there is a lot of "cosmetics" in this person's form. Not to be rude, however, I still think that this demonstration is worthy of study and applause. Good job =)

Of all the videos I have watched, she is the closest to correct. Maybe a 7.5. There is no straight kick, and she jerks too fast. But the fluidity is right, and she has goo balance.
