This is a short form I taught to spa and resort guests. It draws from elements of the Guang Ping Tai Chi set (an unusual Yang variation). Demonstrated for my regular Tai Chi class.

  • ...continued.

    As such, the rolling step is not necesarilly taught be Guang Ping teachers. I study in North San Diego County, CA.

  • Hail, Fellow Guang Ping'er!

    You are refering to the heel first step on the push on Grasp the Bird's Tail, correct? With the emphasis on long stances, the stepping by necessity is heel-to-toe. You end up with what I call a "foot stomp" instead of a graceful step otherwise; the overall movement begins to look jerky. I also use the "rolling step" (forward or back) to develop the silk reeling energy/power for a posture. It's my own training gimmick.

  • Hi...yes, they are differnt styles, each coming through the two sons of Yang Lu-Chan. The Guang Ping traces through Yang Ban-Hou, where all other Yang forms pass through Yang Jian-Hou.

  • ssssooo ssssllloww, ssssoooo gracccceful.

  • May I ask who you learned Guang Ping from?

  • Music was not invented, it was discovered. It was there before the discovery. Nothing is more natural than music. Nature is music. It is nature singing through us when we play music.

  • I would call what you have shown as several movements ~ not a form.

  • nice music. u should be doing it without music. music is not natural..it was invented!

  • Very cool to see this...I practice this as well!

    Stop me if I'm wrong, but aren't you losing any power generation training thru practicing the form by stepping heel first? e.g. your front foot lands together at once vs. heel & then toe or you lose any power generated by the T-stance.

    And where do you study/teacher if I may ask?

  • Hello sir, may i ask a question, is the Guang Ping style different from the Imperial Yang's taichi style taught at many schools ?
