How Tai Chi Kyùn works 如何運用太極拳

[TheShaolinScholar]

PUT THIS MAN BACK IN MARTIAL ARTS MS I WAS THERE WHEN HE MADE TAICHI IN 92

[corvette174]

Garbage....

[seinchen0103]

其實是通背拳~~

[chao720718]

他有些動作其實是翻子拳和披掛!!00:15-00:19

[Waterbruce]

現在的太極神化色彩,大於實用性

根本沒有人願意研究太極實戰,進而用它參加各種武術比賽

大多數都只是自我澎脹後參加比賽,結果被慘K...

[FarenLi]

@Waterbruce 知道为什么没人用太极实战吗。太极最高水平是＂无＂，没人能伤害­自己，自己也不会去伤害别人

[tony681216]

本意是好的!

可是真的感覺是被騙進來的耶!

除了開頭幾個陳氏太極拳的動作外,

後面打的都和太極拳無關呀!

好爛的標題,被騙進來,不過支持保護瀕臨絕種動物

[123liondancer]

he always does that form in every movie in beginning of the commercial

[NinjaTurtleSoupFTW]

thats the star from True Legend, pretty awesome movie if u havent seen it

[MrErszenyKrisztian]

Where is the Tai Chi??

[Blackdog23a]

Its not that isn't completely Tai Chi it wasn't ANY Tai Chi lol.

[noklarok]

dear China, please stop killing tigers

[micsir888]

@noklarok millions of chinese and one day it's the world they're going to be after. count yourself lucky they're not hunting you.

[mingholio]

Uhh.. this isnt martial arts, this is a commercial that guy is a famous cantonese actor

[cheesezhong]

@mingholio he's not Cantonese, he's from the north, :)

[micsir888]

@mingholio it's martial film art. hehe, real pretty, real well choreographed.

[poprocks808]

he's so beautiful.....

[Belphybear]

this isnt completely tai chi

[sunnz]

@Belphybear at mastery level of any art is not to be stuck to some specific style.

[micsir888]

@sunnz Yes, but did you read the label? Tai chi is a style, therefor no need to mince words lao-tseu.

[sunnz]

@micsir888 what label? You can the title that I wrote? :P

[FlyHiGhness]

@sunnz mastery is much better when one style is the focus at a time. chasing the mastery of several styles usual causes something to be incomplete. now if one style is mastered and there is an interest in something new then fine but to think mastery means being great at many styles then thats not the case

[sunnz]

@FlyHiGhness yes, as Bruce Lee has said, fear the man who practised a technique a thousand times, rather the the man who practised a thousand techniques one time.

However, I found that learning other styles of martial art helps me understand the martial I train in. E.g. I am primarily doing Wing Chun these days, but a bit of boxing and Tai Chi here and there helps me understand Wing Chun better. Doesn't work for everyone, but I enjoy it myself.

[FlyHiGhness]

@sunnz thats actually interesting because with martial arts being so complexed within itsself, its always amazes me to meet someone who trains in multiple styles. ive always been a big fan of traditional and mordern wushu which we both know contains many forms of many styles so ive never had to train in more than one art. with wushu you have to more or less find out what styles you want to learn and compare that to what different instructors are teaching. the possibilities are endless!

[sunnz]

@FlyHiGhness Oh, so how long have you been training for?

I myself find that once I have a solid background in one martial art, learning other styles are just a natural 'extension' to what I already know... as you learn different styles you learn how to learn quicker as well.

I think I understand what you are saying, there are tons of forms in traditional Wushu... I guess it is what you goals are. I don't try to master a martial art, I simply enjoy doing the training.

[FlyHiGhness]

@sunnz its been a while since ive rained but you never lose the knowledge you good from a good teacher. i was studying for a few months in an actual school but i gained my interest in wushu through manuals and instructional dvds/vhs. which is nothing like having your instructor in front of you. my original teacher though was sifu Edward Aguirre..... he teaches out of queens NY and has many years of experience especially for an American instructor!

[JookLumFist]

Vincent Zhao never ages! Awesome.

[nelira1000]

GREAT MOVE........ i like vincent zhao so much!!!!! hes my favorite actor, hes so smart! i like the way he kicks, he moves, and most of all i love the way he smile...he so CUTE!!!!! and HANDSOME!!!! hes the most handsome artist i've ever seen.one of my greatest dream is to see him in personal FACE TO FACE.. i want to kiss and hug him..vincent zhao, I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!!!!! YOUR THE BEST!!!!! GO GO GO.......

[WarriorBoy]

Well it's as much Taiji as McDonald's hamburgers are filtet-mingnon, but the message of the ad was definetly cool with me.

Vincent Zhao is also a very talented Wushu performer and actor, but the only Taiji being performed was at the very beginning.

[kralalrulz]

what is the most deadly martial art? the one that kills YOU!!!

[lain777]

to kralalrulz, nuclear bomb is effective indeed.

[protoandghetto]

deadly martial arts...? if practiced, most martial arts are deadly, if you truely practice it to a point. nowadays martial arts is practiced as a sport, than rather as a survival art. From what i've learned throughout my years of studying, i have come to a conclusion that any martial art can kill a person, it will only depend on the person executing that art. Whether he has a will to truly want to kill somebody or not.

[sunnz]

I believe martial arts in general are not practised as "deadly" these days, even with competitions the goal is not to kill or survive someone who are trying to kill you...

[sunnz]

I mean if you want practise an art for maximum killing power, you can, but at the cost of overly stressing your body... it is basically what military training does... natural selection have selected those who can compete in their prime and pass on their genes, even at the cost of health problems later on in our life; but these days we seem to want to do the reverse, we don't have a need to fight in our day to day life and would rather want to preserve our health and longevity.

[notyourmind]

At the beginning he did Chen Taiji followed with a

very nice quick Bagua twist. After he's attacked, he

takes out the first guy with Xingyi...after that,

it's all mixxed Da striking hands/kicking.

[bigfatdick5000]

Tai Chi can be used to save Wild Life Animals.

[gt500cowboy]

how tai chi works....in the movies

[davidgikas]

@gt500cowboy go try to attack a real tai chi master and you wont even tuch him you will be attacked by your own strenght and fall down...

[gt500cowboy]

@davidgikas wow, that's amazing. do you have asperger's syndrome?

[micsir888]

@davidgikas how many tai chi masters have you attacked? that's bullshit! i practice tai chi and all you mystical freaks set the bar so high you'll never gain any skill by dreaming about shit bouncing off of your dantien. get real.

[FinalKenny2]

This taiji form looks allot like wushu...

In my experience, most martial arts tend to look alike at mastery-level.

[peabean]

It's about finding the most efficient way to move.

[FinalKenny2]

Well... Sorta.

It's about becoming one first with you body, then with everything around you and at last with your "opponent".

That "efficiency" grows out of that is normal.

[masteringwushu]

taiji is in fact a form of wushu. anyway, what he does in the beginning combines some chen style taiji and some tongbeiquan. nice clip! thanks for posting! 5 stars from masteringwushu . com

[extintorish]

Wushu just means chinese martial arts, in that sense Tai Chi Chuan is a wushu.

[shaokem]

i was just going to say that... but you said it for me!

[shaokem]

there are only so many ways one can throw a kick of punch...

[jackylin24]

wushu in direct translation is martial arts.

wu = martial, shu = art

[boorbaga]

@jackylin24

do you even know what 'martia'l means?

[jackylin24]

do u speak chinese? 武术(wushu) is general term for martial arts

[nosfero]

Damn why so many fucking idiots in the internet.. Stop saying "No taichi" or "its not taichi".. i've been doing this over 10 years.. its purely taichi, and yes is the best martial art.. why... Sorry u need to get through a lot to understand why.. Now get the fuck out of taichi comments and off to ur miserable shitty lives!

[saucysbitch]

there is no "best" martial art... first. I'm not saying all are equal.. but there is no one BEST, proven again and again.

In my opinion, I think that Tai Chi is, as a martial art, better than most.

Second, you've been doing this ten years, and yet you make no mention of the non-martial aspects of Tai Chi... interesting.

[FinalKenny2]

Agreed.

He probably learned it in one of many "McDojos" that exist nowadays.

[shaokem]

yeah... there is a best martial art, its which ever one kicks your ass!!! HAHAHA!!! JK JK! its the student not the style that matters

[bapso]

Of course it's tai chi. In a fight. The best martial art, in my opinion.

[tortyys]

coool... but this is not at all taichi.

[ToraRain]

Hmm i never heard of this guy befor, is he famous or something? cause he's a awsome martial artist! oh and yah good vid!

[TexasSizzle]

Yes very famous in all of China, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, UK and North America, Vincent Zhao or Zhou Wen Zhuo is his name. Big star in Asia.

[ToraRain]

thanks i couldnt find him on wikipedia under 'Zhou Wen Zhuo' but i found him now under 'Vincent Zhou' thanks for the info he's very impresive ^^

[PurunBhagat]

No disrespect to those who posted here but their statements are completely false. The poster is correct: This is exactly how Tai Chi works in a fight. More pointedly, one manifestation thereof (obviously cinematically exaggerated). While Zhao's high kicks and acrobatics are individualized, his strength and skill set are undoubtably developed through the internal arts. What's more, a number of movements are taken almost directly from Tai Chi's most common forms - Ex.: the Yang 24 form.

[sunnz]

I believe he practices mainly Chen Tai Chi.

[masteringwushu]

Zhao Wenzhuo was a wushu champion at national level, practiced many styles and weapons. his tongbeiquan, chen taiji and his spear are his best

[ydyammo]

Nice fight... No Tai Chi...

[TSshisan]

but no taiji here...

[aminian13]

loooool
