Internal Discipline in Tai Chi Walk

This is like the basic training of traditional Wu's Tai chi.

This was quite helpful. It's amazing how easy it is to miss something as simple as this.

He reminds me to 'uncle Iroh' from avatar...=3

good stuff

Fact: Humans are "bipeds", in other words they do not walk on all
"4's". Fact: Stand on a busy street corner and you will see "bipeds" walk in a variety of ways. They bump others, fall, stagger, sway, etc Acknowledging the varieties of walking however is not the same as to see one's personal relativism regarding the neurological/mechanical basis of walking. Actually duplicating the demonstration shown above should have a salubrious effect on the validity or self efficacy of one's opinions.

if you are well balanced(able withstand force from any/all 8 directions) & hav total control over each&every step, then u are better than taiji master. But if u fall, then u r limited by the speed of gravity, hav little control over each step, & thus little power stability & acurracy.

human body is a body. An idiot would move his arm by his arm & foot by the foot forgetin about his body thus creatin instability. The body should move as a body thus creatin stability+intrinsic power that is many times greater than any hard brute strength

if u hav total stability(can withstand any force from 8 directions), total control & internal power over each step, then u r better than taiji masters & i would gladly come to study under you. but if u lean/wobble/fall, then u r bound by gravity, hav almost no stability, thus no control or real power. Such a movement can NOT be considered walking but rather a limited 'control falling'.

this is the reason why no judo/jujitsu moves work on a real taiji master

this exercise is like Silk Reeling. focus is on sinking throughout each step rather than push/pull/drop/fall/strain which makes u tense & disconnect ur center from ur support
