@shotokonboy7 it's a tassel. it's used at the end of swords to add momentum and weight when swinging it, and sometimes it's just used for decoration. also at the beginning of sword forms, u usually start off holding onto the tassel and let it drop after u open step.
The third step is too close, and subsequently she can't properly turn her right foot as the left foot is in the way. If and when the third step is a half-step, the left foot won't be in the way and the right foot has room to turn.
yes i see that. (she compensates, by turning the last bit, on her foot-pad while her weight goes forwards.)
Actually, from a health point of view, it doesn't matter. But from a combat point of view, it does.
it reminds me of, when i was learning the 24 form in china, my teacher (in repulse monkey) stepped back, and turned the front foot differently, then from what i had learned in yang tai chi (Tung family), here in Denmark.
I told her about it, and she to my surprise told me, that it didn't matter... Just do it naturally, she said.
She stepped back almost on a line, and turned the front foot, on her foot-pad.
I step back slightly wider, and turn on the heel.
I think that "my" way is better, because of a improved balance/more stabile stance (while shifting your weight backwards). But in the end, the result was the same.
But if you have two options, and one option is more appropriate, then the other. As in yours and my example. Then i too would go for the option, that is the most appropriate.
But to say, that the one is more correct then the other, can be questionable.
Because in the end, it mainly depends on what your goal is. Health or martial application.
Hmmm, with a foot adjustment with the heal down you add an extra step, because the next bit is to lift the front foot slightly with the toe pointing down. If you turn on the foot pad you simply lift, the heal is already off the ground If you turn on the heal then you have to drop the toe and then lift the heal to step back. ut each to there own.
Nice video by the way. I only saw one wobble and that could be caused by the crazy paving, not the best surface to do tai-chi on.
All of the techniques are classical techniques in this form. Only the order is new. In fact, it has just about all of the movements in the Yang form but 5. It also has many movements not in the Yang set. The sequence should not matter, and once a person is proficient, they SHOULD break sequence and apply their techniques and inovate.
it doesn't look like it would be effective in sparring but when i went to a martial arts tourniment, mostly tae kwon do, there were some people that did tai chi, i spared them, and they went from fluid slow domonstrations to being ferocious and unmerciful in a split second
I advise that you find a teacher instead. :) You can learn Tai Chi so much better from a teacher. A book or video clip can't tell you what you're doing wrong, and the most common mistakes in Tai Chi are (practically) invisible.
It's an "internal" martial art, after all. The moves themselves are only a lesser aspect of Tai Chi. The important thing is how you execute them.
Tai Chi rules!!, tortilleros better be ready for my sword! you punk ass levas!!...

It's hard to take this performance seriously when the third step is already incorrect.

Maybe youre being to critically then. :-)
I know a Chinese woman, who have been a instructor at Shanghai
Institute of Physical Education.
Its one of the best education center's in China, for instructors. (She lent me this vcd.)
She have trained Tai Chi almost her entire life. And where/is highly respected for her Tai Chi.
According to her, this performance is very good.
How can you be sure, that your "version" is more correct?
And why would anybody, distribute something with errors?

And furthermore:
She started Wushu at the age of 8.
she mainly taught Tai Chi, at S.I.P.E.
She has won several championships in shanghai, and represented China internationally.
She has passed the sixth Dan in Wushu from the "Chinese Wushu Association".
She currently lives here in Denmark.
I just found some more facts about her, which i wanted to tell you about. hehe

Some would say that its just a minor detail.
But if you have two options, and one option is more appropriate, then the other. As in yours and my example. Then i too would go for the option, that is the most appropriate.

But thank you, for making me aware of it. :-)

Hm yes interesting point. i haven't thought of that. I makes sense when doing, as you say. And it actually feels more naturally, that way.
And about the thin (balance) line between your feet's, one does only have to step a little wider, to compensate for it.
Thanks for your input :-)
