Chen Manching's Yang Form

I believe the instrument is the Chinese guzheng (古箏) which is a 16-26 stringed zither. It's definitely not the Japanese koto. The melody is a very popular Chinese piece which most older Chinese population would instantly recognize.

@MaabudZ : The music is NOT Japanese.

this music sounds almost exactly like the musician killers music from Kung Fu Hustle. I bet it's by the same person. sounds like the very same instrument as well

looking at the master,his body is not leaning forward but is straight also his weight bearing leg is very still when he steps and he is very,very relaxed and his hands are very,very soft.....

Wow, its so cool to see the actual cheng manching do the form I am currently learning. My teacher was taught by master cheng. I know the form now he just says I need the "essence" of tai chi and to master that.
Anyway, luv the vid ^_^

the mastery of chi seen here is almost scary. those guys back then really knew what they was doing

The story about Cheng being knocked out by Yang on one occasion, and injured on another occasion, seems familiar to me. I think I heard something to that effect from a student of Cheng himself. However, the context was that this happened to Cheng during his time as a student of Yang. I got the impression that teachers back in the day got pretty rough with their students on occasion.

Absolutely wonderful!

He made tai chi to what was right for him :)
and so we have all kinds of different tai chi , my own teacher used to say , " its your tai chi " menaing he would want us al lto feel how our body posture would feel to us and then correct it if needed .
This is true tai chi , since all humans are different in shape and form :)
Cheers all
