Very powerful form with some nice flare to it. Obviously you have been learning tai chi for many years. Your form looks very Chen style not much Yang style in it. Slow down, most of the form is Yang, not Chen. You need more Yin which makes that Yang that much more powerful. Overall very fun to watch.

@chibaker Thanks, To be honest with you, I start learning Taichi not long ago. The "Chen Style" you see in this form perhaps were from years of practicing Tae Kwon Do and Shaolin. I am aware of that my pace is way too fast. I am working on it. You should check out my recent clip and see if I've improved or not.... =P

Undoubtedly your first is far better than my last. It is a pity that wonderful presentation should be "improved". Well let's just enjoy the moment. Thank you for all that shared this.

@prl3800 Thanks, I am very flattered. It is always a pleasure for me to get constructive advice and critiques. "Improvement" is always needed no matter how well one does. That is why there is a saying: "Practice Makes It Perfect." We may never be prefect, but we certainly can become better. Cheers ! =P

First of all, I'm learning something just watching your tai chi 48 .. some of the movements you execute here are more defined than in the other videos I have see on here. However, there are a lot of your executions wherein the movements are too fast and abrupt .. they seem hurried and haphazardly done (ex. left & right heel kick). Tai chi is supposed to be slow and relaxed, is it not? Most tai chi 48 are done in 8 minutes, yours in 6:12 - your movements fast.

@blaknyte1 Thank you. You are absolutely correct about me being too fast, and I am aware of that too. I find it hard to slow down sometimes, but I am still working on it. Thank you again. Cheers! =P

@wintercoldest Thank you for your encouragement. I sure will work harder and practice more with all the Taichi forms that I've learned. No worries, I am the type of person with very strong will and determination. I will not get beat down easily. The more challenges, the better I will become. Cheers! =P

@xiao890 @xiao890 I have practiced tai chi over 20 years, I would like to say you are doing the very correct way in practicing tai chi, you will know i am telling you the truth in a few years. Sure, if you pay a little more attention to the coordination between your breathing and moving, you will even do better. forget what pribadi8406 said, he has no clue what is the real tai chi.

@TatarInExile Thank you for your encouragement. I am still working on it. I will do my best to improve what I need to improve, but imprersonate. I will also continue to be what I want to be, not what others want me to be. =P

Your tai chi chuan is wonderful to look at.. It has Chi, Jing and Shen. What more do they want?? And besides, you are graceful and beautiful.

Thank you for posting this.
