I began studying tai ji quan in 1972. Traditional Yang style teachers who have influenced my form -- chronologically: Ginsoon Chu (Boston), Yang Shouzhong, Mary Yang (Hong Kong), Chen Longxiang (Chengdu).

  • Well you have just answered the question I was asking myself, as I understood that it was the unwritten rule that the form shouldn't be distributed as a video. That said, I find this piece a pleasure to watch and a great inspiration.

  • I appreciate your understanding of my gesture. I try and keep in mind Confucius: "To know when one knows, and to know when one doesn't know, that is to really know."

  • Hi Michele,

    Thank you for the compliment and for the request. However, as an act of deference to those who have generously instructed me in this system - Ginsoon Chu, John Conroy, Yang Shouzhong, Mary Yang, etc - I have chosen to limit my public demo to only 1/2 the form. I hope you understand.

    Michael

  • Thanks, Adam.

    Same goes to you.

  • Michael, thanks for posting this. Your form is wonderful. Do you think you could post the second half of the form? I'd like to learn from you. Thanks.

  • @tentobot Doesn't look exactly like Yang Chen Fu so I am not sure what you are talking about. Certainly a good form. I don't know what difference it makes whether you are doing the relaxed and generous form Chen Fu laid down, or a more martialized variation such as Yang Jwing Ming demonstrates, or Chen Man Ching's Yin-emphasizing form. As long as you are adhering to the fundamental principles of the Classics it seems all is good.

  • @principledpower very kind, thank you

  • very, very good, I am impressed.

  • Given your familiarity with the Yang standard, I take your rating as a double compliment. Thank you.

  • @principledpower I also studied the Yang Style Form from a similar lineage as you do, from a teacher of the Gin Soon Federation.
