  • @bigfatdick5000 you have henry sue. southern praying mantis.

  • Interesting concept. I am familiar with the concept of rotating through the center but I'm wondering what is the issue with angling the spine? Thanks for the vids. It's always nice to see real taiji.

  • Howcome we don't have any masters like him in australia.?

  • The structure of the human body involves two girdles, the shoulder and hip, attached to a flexible post, the spine. So Chen Taiji utilizes this structure to generate spiralling energy. In the Yang style this is much less present, but the fundamental principles are the same. If you look at Yang Chen Fu's positions, he always has an erect spine and his nose never gets out front of his heel, which is the same thing as this great master is teaching in this vid.

  • This guy is great. It would almost be worth making a trip to Canada to train with him for just one day.

  • Very detailed, Very beneficial  Excellent teaching material. thank-you for posting :)
