your way to make the tai chi is beautiful

[BobFermor01]

Thank you very much, what people dont relise is that this form was performed in the woodlands so for under foot it was very difficult but the place is beautiful so we had to try and film it.

All the best Bob

Can u do this with your back to the camera so I can look straight at the screen and see what u are doing rather than have my back to the screen and strain my neck trying to follow while looking over my shoulder?

[BobFermor01]

That can be done its a good idea once the weather changes i will see what i can do.

All the best Bob

I'm trying to learn this form at the moment, and I've done it on uneven ground too, so can really appreciate the balance displayed here, and the awareness too if there are loose stones or the like around, it's most impressive she didn't fall over at least once lol. Also again you use wonderful music for this video, I'd love to know where you get it so I can put it on my ipod :)

This is a very nice presentation!!!

This simplified 24 form is very good.  I envy her performance.

@princequejesuis Maybe she did a good job and very brave for being filmed while doing Tai Chi Ch'uan, but I'm afraid that this is not Yang Short Form (discovered by Cheng Man Ch'ing). Good job otherwise. Is this a short form by another creator? Thanks in advance.

@princequejesuis wish you to have good holidays and a happy new year

If this is your "better half", I believe Bob Fermor played better...more natural. Joanne's postures seemed too "erect" which looked 'stiffer' as the result. The flow was pretty good. The more I watched Bob performed the long form, the more I enjoyed watching his performance. There is the "intangible factor" in his performance...unfortunately, this one did not give me that sense of enjoyment.

Who  is performing the music ?

[WiresAnSteel]

First time I've ever watched something like this, looks very graceful and calming.

I've spent the last half hour looking at your various clips. they're enviably good. Thx for the enlightenment.
