Still, no skill.

@ClygarPro Im afraid to ask what you're talking about. After 40+ years of humbly studying and practicing the subject, it is pretty insulting to say that this teacher has no skill, and thereby imply that you do. EGO

Practicing slow has definite scientific basis. Whenever you do a move repeatedly, the neuro-pathways that controls the muscles get fortified along the neuro tentrils so that subsequent electrical impulse travel faster between two nerve cells - like creating ruts along a road. The more you do, the quicker & smoother the move becomes. The slower & more often you practice, the "deeper" & more ingrain the move becomes and at some point it also becomes a reflex. Amazing uh?

@jtschau You just Nuked my brain but that was fascinating to read, thank you.

@tentobot Correct. That's whay we were so excited to finally be reunited with Dr. Yang's first Taijiquan teacher, GMN Kao, Tao and hear his stories of his old master. It is great to learn that Yang, Chengfu had disciples. This was kept secret because of the communist party in China at the time. In fact, Greatgrandmaster Yue, Huanzhi was eventually killed by the communists for refusing to heal of the party member with qigong. Cut and paste: ymaa.com/articles/ymaa-taijiqu­an-lineage

@jtschau Wow. May I ask where you read this?

[alkssmith]

@jtschau

Not at all. Slow movements allow inconstrained and free flow of energy

to fill all body areas. Dr.Yang is an author of a great book "Muscles/tendons

changing and bone marrow cultivating" which explains the essentials of

this.

@DJGahann i dounno.. i learned SOMETHING watching this

[MacFlanahan]

@jtschau repetitions definitely increase strength of pathways.

Please show your citation that practicing slower, creates 'deeper' pathways.

[DJGahann]

So much more here than meets the eye. Too many people believe Tai Chi can be learned thru copying what they see on a DVD, or in a book...

[gemall95]

Thank You for the demonstration. I really enjoyed it.

@jtschau Well said, thanks for explaining that :) It really is amazing.
