Tai Chi Taiji Symbol Tracing Hands & Application

[ChenShanDe]

Just had a weekend seminar about it with Master Jesse Tsao about that exercise.

It was GREAT!!! If you understand it, it´s mind-blowing!!!

Have to do a lot of home work now! :-)

Thank you, Master Tsao!!!

Best,

ShanDe :-)

You can see the chi at 1:43

follow his hands

[souljabarb]

follow his hands closely and see the chi :_)

[souljabarb]

that's awesome

*favorites*

Around 1:42 I found something freaky. I thought it was the video but it's not. Watch his hands carefully and you'll see a late shadow. Watch the right hand when it goes around

[Syitos]

i saw that too... weird

[TheForestDragon]

Perhaps some naruto-esque visible Qi? Taiji is said to be one of the most "energetic" arts - and cameras are closely tied to being able to see the supernatural. Perhaps it's the case - Or it might have just been a strange editing flook. But I'd like to believe in the visible qi.

holy uncle of a monkey, he is from the matrix!

[OathOfCalm]

Whoa! I see it too. It kinda looks the same as the so called "Will-O-WIsps" of supposide ghosts in pictures. I suppose ghosts are energy, it makes sense, i guess.

Interesting nontheless.

I want to rock and roll all night....

[taiji973]

Yes it can. Look up the book, Jou Tsung Hua's Tao of Tai Chi Chuan.

[ReyNixz]

[grabbinnerstan]

[aeortiz2004]

You don't have to be sacastic....

[aeortiz2004]

You don't have to be sacastic....

That was a wonderful start for me, i really enjoyed seeing on the board how the hands moved around the symbol, helped a ton!!!

First of all - thanks to Master Tsao!

This new contribution is highly essential not only for Chen fans.

The chanalizing of chi ennergy can be achieved not only due to Microcosmic Orbital meditation - the distribution of attracted chi-fields throughout of hand channels is also possible. And each one can find confirmation to this fact individually.

[frater]

Its a very good demostration how to canalize the energy-chi trough circular movements and the tao symbol

I liked it thx

[swtaichi100]

Thank you Shifu Tsao for introducing such fundamentals as these to those of us who have not had the opportunity to learn them. All of your videos are clearly demonstrated and informational.

[themouseofevil]

he's like a tree blowing in the wind! Amazing!

[KCMO2NDTWIN]

Excellent Teaching! Thank you Sifu!

[LothairApoclyane]

I'll have to try that. Thanks for the demonstration.

Tai Chi diagram is the foundation upon which Tai Chi was born. Many people take it as only a symbol or philosophy, unaware of Tai Chi's principles and secret application methods are hidden within the symbol's curved lines. In 1963, Professor Shen Jiazhen and Gu Liuxin (students of Chen Fake) published a book called Chen Style Tai Chi Quan, which revealed hand positions traced over the Tai Chi diagram.

Thanks much for the additional info! I really appreciate it. Maybe something to add to my beginners practice of the simplified 24 style sometime in the future. Thanks again.

[chevkoch]

Very interesting exercise, I've not seen this one before. Thanks a lot for sharing.

[ryanalee]

Great video! I would like to know more about how to use the hips and kua while doing this exercise.

Thanks

[taichitsao]

You know the important thing in Tai Chi is to keep the hips joints (Kua) loose and flexible. So the energy can travel from feet to fingers in a spiral coiling manner. The kua is rotating like figure 8 to direct the energy flow. Thank you for like my teaching!
