looks good, but the masters arms are so far apart he might as well be fighting a giant. Looks can be deceiving, good exercise non the least.

Tai Chi is so beautiful

[chenshi56]

Not good!......no chi generated? alahmak?......movemenst.....oo­ops!

[groovylocks]

@ChibiZone yeah i thought so too chibi. And he seems a little stiff.. (maybe that's why) I'm a novice practitioner but my master is one of the best.. and in comparison this guy doesn't hold a candle...

Still.. it's good because i'm learning and this helps. Most things help at this stage in my learning.

[chentaichiacademy]

[ChibiZone]

he's not breathing properly 0.o just going through the motions of that form...

@whsskdhkf Thank you for the info. I happened to look at at a clip by Wang Jian the other day. Long relaxed hand movements like the gentleman above. Suits an old man like me. Any idea who the lead man is and where? and also if there was somebody who practices/teaches it near the coachella valley in california? Thanks in advance vince

@silosvince that's Hunyan Chen Tai Chi by Grandmaster Feng Zhiqiang. 19th generation successor of Chen Tai Chi. He saw how a lot of old frame people were practicing to obtain maximum power and eventually harming their body. So he modified Yi Lu form into a type of moving Qi Gong. I'm a person who practiced Chen Xiaowang's Xin Jia so I don't really know much about Hunyan tai chi, but I do know that master Feng worked with Chen Fake and he is one of the best when it comes to Chen Taiji

[silosvince]

probably an offshoot of chen just looking at his leg muscles, typical of a chen stylist. maybe he made this up. Wonder who he is and where it was..looks like a mall

[jansondaybreak]

Agreed. Beautifully done.
