Visit http://www.taichihealthways.com for more videos of Master Jesse Tsao on Yang, Chen, Wu, Sun tai chi tyle and Tai Chi sword, broadsword, qigong (Chi gong) meditation for internal energy healing, bio-energy, Shaolin and Wudang Taoist Kung-fu martial arts, Taiji Power Release (fajin), Taiji application, Bagua, Xingyi application. Tai Chi Health Ways host annual workshop with the top masters. See photos or videos of Chen Zhenglei, Li Deyin, Zhu Tiancai, Chen Xiaowang, Dan Lee, Su Zifang, Abraham Liu .... The martial aspect of Tai Chi is a hidden value of the ancient art. There are not enough references of Tai Chi's applications in self-defense today because it has been de-martialized from its original fighting purpose to make its way into the general population. Master Tsao shares with you his research and 30 years of teaching experience in the major applications for Push Hands and self-defense in Chen Old Frame Routine One. Most of them are from Chen Zhenglei and Zhu Tiancai's teachings. The principles are based on Tai Chi Classics: to redirect or borrow an opponent's force first, then strike his weak point.

  • Tai chi is not really about applications it's about change, sensitivity, and reaction. There many great martial arts where people can learn how to fight. Taijiquan represents its own particular way of fighting. Some people like it, some people don't.

    After all in real fight dominates not particular martial art, but skill of particular fighter..

  • dear SoldierCyfix,

    I also never see a taichi person real fight other

    fighting style..

    but last month i saw on tv(history channel- entitled Human Weapon), that in the past 13 shaolin monks have defeated 3000 soldiers from other area of china who came to attack shaolin.

    the 13 shaolin monks just discovered tai-chi and used it in war...and this was the beginning of the popularity of shaolin kungfu..as reported by tv show.

see all

  • Once we learn to be as the tree that bends in the wind and the river that flows freely, then we can learn to be gentle as Taiji. Not only can we learn to be gentle, we can defend ourselves against attackers and actually not hurt them when warding them off from us.

  • I have learned in Taiji that if we resist the opposing energy used by our opponent we cannot use the opponents energy against them. We must bend like a tree in the wind, remain gentle, not rigid, allow the energy to come at us and learn to return that opposing energy in a way that we can defend ourselves and ward off the attacker. Look at the flowing river, strong,powerful,but yet ever so gentle in pushing itself where ever it sees fit.

  • the greatest things about tai chi is that it is used for "weak against strong" where you don't use strength to hit your opponent but return the strength of opponent back to him, so you don't have to have muscles or strong body... actually chinese nowadays use tai chi as a healthy practice... thats y you normally see old people practicing tai chi in the movies

  • So bad that Tai Chi, as self defense is not really spread.. I'd love to learn it..

  • this is noooooo gooooddd!

  • @Niccomawf yea these days its more for just health ,a form of exercise than a martial art, still very graceful and beautiful.

  • @MechPhantom It has these, though not a lot of teachers teach those these days.

  • @lezmos Please repeat that. It bears repeating. It's about how many hours you train.

  • cool demo,btw does taichi have punches and kicks or just pushing and takedowns? thx
