    Just watched your Tai Chi Walk. That looks like the walking I used to do! It would have been really useful to see a profile view as well, rather than just the frontal. Some considerations?

  • 1. Your right hand push rotates too far, compared to your left. Are you pushing centre to your centreline or are you pushing out over the knee, so the energy bubble that your hand is pushing is equally held between the two hands.

    2. You lose your root every time you take a step forward. And every time you pick up your front toes/foot to turn, you lose what little root you had before you stepped.

  • 3. Hmmm...that's partially because your appendages are not connecting to your centre dantien, nor the midline of the body. Right foot/left hand; right calf/left forearm; right thigh/left arm always move in sync. When the feet turn, the core turns which drive the appendages.

  • 4. And of course, there's no lifting of the arms. The energy that results from rooting places the arm into the appropriate position, pushed there by the root energy. The deeper the root, the more expansive the bubble. That's how the fa-jing occurs. The root is compressed into its smallest diameter and then explodes as the body relaxes into the ground.

  • It's really about mind.

    Interesting difference between the internal and the external.

    You sure are proficient! Is core media productions your creation? I'm watching!

  • core media is Bill, who has made all my videos
