Excellently executed form

[fuquan123]

too many critics in this world. watch if you like it, if you dont like dont watch ! a good form similar to cheng man ching 54 step i like it.

[tekshow]

I normally don't reply twice, but after seeing a lot of Tai Chi on the tube I agree tremendously. As if to say you can't learn a thing from this person or that person. How far evolved are these people who judge each practitioner? Let alone some very high qualified people. Bahh, misconceptions.

[susbider]

Nice, no-nonsense interpretation. Thanks for posting it!

[newlondonmartialarts]

I can see the beauty and true power in this form and also happen to be very familiar with it. Thank you for posting this video and keeping it original.

[randyfai]

take time, you can do it.

It so slow.... How to use it in real life?

[KeystoneKorner]

Slowness is the discipline of Tai Chi practice. Are atheletes silly for watching slow motion videos of themselves in action? The slowness of Tai Chi performs the same function. But Tai Chi should be practiced "fast" as well. And the sword form should ideally be practiced with a realistically weighted and balanced form. You will find that your form changes when practiced with "real life" tools and intentions.

[tekshow]

Slowness creates a process in which the body can develop greater sensitivity and degrees of movement. Thus, when doing fast, the movement becomes more accurate and useful. Boxers also do this when they go slow and shadow box.

truly breathtaking, a joy to watch. thank you.

[Virginielie]

The most important is to live with the mouvements you do....the form does help but the mind got to follow....He is doing a good job ...easy to copy....the rest are to be developpe yourself your inner energy.....if not, it is a waste of time..

[Francisawkeewoon]

For all the Tai Chi forms or style be it with or without weapons, I see online, most sre presented for the sake of appearance and as a means to attract students with the ultimate aim of monetary gain. The real Grand Masters are Chen Man Ching and Wong Sing Sien both from the pre-cultural revolution China. Compared to the skills of these two masters, all I see online are so pretentious and unreal with a lot of superfluous, unnatural and redundant moves.

[KarenOsment]

Wow, this brings back memories. I learnt this form with my previous teacher, who managed to make it look dynamic. I guess it is down to your experience, how you are taught and practise. It was a wonderful form to have learnt, and I, still, have my wooden practise sword. Thanks.

[shamimcader]

Dude...I do Yang Family 32 posture sword form too..... But this looks so different from what I do. Your form seems to be missing a few things that I do! lol, how is that possible? also no offense... but you need to practice a bit more.... your form is rushed and lacks posture.... I can not see the CHI!!!! No chi, No good! lol. It look mechanic.

[Cheryl78]

Yes, Tai Chi has belts too: white, orange, green, blue, red and black. I will post it when I'm ready. In the meantime, go have a look at Master Jess Tsao performances. He's a tai chi god!

[nicopsico]

I am sorry but your are wrong the true taichi do not have to do with best, it is an internal art and have three leves, look for tao way and then you will undertand.

El taichi no tiene niveles , talves el kunfu si pero el taichi es una arte interno y solo lo logra quien evoluciona su mente.

No tratemos de encasillar algo que ya esta establecido desde muchos siglos a atras.

[Cheryl78]

Does simplified means badly perfomed? I'm just orange belt and I can do much better than this!

[BirchBingo]

An orange belt in what, Cheryl? I was unaware tai chi included a belt system... in any case, please post a video for us, demonstrating your "much better" "orange belt" sword form. I would love to learn from you.

[KeystoneKorner]

A seasoned veteran once told me, "There are no belts in Tai Chi, just years."

[blstormhunter]

Bravo or touche'

[KeystoneKorner]

To me it just means that the stylistic elements that don't hold a lot of martial intention doesn't get introduced. If you've ever pushed hands or done sword sparing, you'll find how superfulous certain stylistics can be. It all depends on what you want your form to look and feel like.

[KeystoneKorner]

Oh yeah, this is a pretty standard "simplified" 32 posture Tai Chi sword form.

[blstormhunter]

A novice in Tai Chi can be taught the sword form. Sashes vary from school to school and are, from what I understand, primarily an award system practiced in the West. A school I visited recently had white, orange, blue and purple as red and black were reserved for the Wu Shu Kung Fu. This sword form and is basic, no extra flourishes, very acceptable. Students never stop learning, critisism and arrogance is unbecoming.

[iamfromjapan]

you dont take tai chi there is no belt system in tai chi and it said it elimanated all complex movements

[Linkattack]

Wow, That was cool! :)
