This IS pretty long!! Don't run before you can walk. Don't move before you learn how to stand. Read Cheng Man Cheng's book. THERE he presents the shortened form but it is mostly repetition anyways. learn to do the moves slower and more relaxed. Don't just try to add more and more moves. If one captures the essence of the moves, you'll only need a few to really transform. But without the inner relaxation and attention to flow, even a thousand moves won't make you better.

@taijihitman Sounds like somebody needs to practice his form and calm down just a little bit, huh? What's the matter baby? Your mommy not spoil you enough today? Awwww......

FABULOUS!!! I practice a kung fu and tai chi chuan style called Fei Hok Phai and the Sifu Chiu Ping Lok teached this tai chi chuan sequence for many years as the main sequence of his style. He studied tai chi chuan in New York in the 1960's. He added one or two different movements, but the sequence is the same. I am very happy to see the sequence performed by Chen Manching himself. Thank you very much DPG, to add this video to the youtube. :-)

@YourBossisBad: Where are you in Tennessee? I'm moving to Memphis and I'm looking for people who practice the William C.C Chen Yang Style.

@70076NUD My Sensei Al Gardner was a student of the professor for a number of years. His last lesson as CMC was going back to Taiwan and they both knew he was going to die of cancer was the first third of the form.

Al who was a "Segung" ( teacher's teacher) and thought he might get some secret transmission asked "is this all?" and CMC told him it is all you need, "everything you need to know is in the first third and if you don't get that what is the point of going on?"

I studied under Bob Smith for awhie and we did it much slower and in a lower position. The Chen Man Ching style is really about totally relaxtion and is much easier than other forms. Mr. Smith always would use terms like "extend foot" rather than kick.
