Look how rooted he is. His structure is incredible, he probably hits like a horse. Will all that power coming from the ground, through the spine, discharged through the hands. Nothing mystical about it, just excellent structure and internal body mechanics.

@luccetransportation oh?! then it's my misunderstanding instead. please excuse my rude comment towards you. i feel stupid for not reading the previous comments, feel free to express your opinion. i am so sorry for the misunderstanding

@Saikejo :) There's a hundred things I think are beautiful about Chu's form here- complaining wasn't my objective. Initially, kiro888 made a pretty rude comment about tension , and people responded like it was a crazy observation. I replied because I agree with it (not the rude part tho), and I think it's an especially interesting issue in martial application of taiji. No disrespect intended- next time I probably won't say anything, but I think these can be useful conversations too.

@luccetransportation then let's just forget about any problems or errors in this video and enjoy, everyone has their own style. that's how all these different styles were mad. no need to complain about other's form now is there?

[luccetransportation]

@Saikejo Sorry, I'm not sure how to interpret your question. I do study Yang family style, if that's what you're asking.

[Saikejo]

@luccetransportation then let me ask you, did you learn about Yang style tai chi?

[luccetransportation]

@Saikejo There's a few people in this thread trying to explain to me what I'm missing, but you're not one of them. It sounds like you think only masters should be able to talk about taiji practice, and since we disagree about that there's not much I can say.

[luccetransportation]

@snappler24 Yes, I do it for self defense and for health. In my experience, the applications from the form reply on whipping, plucking, and bumping at points of contact, none of which involve having tense hands. I'm totally open to the idea that there are other interpretations of taijiquan theory out there. They just still haven't been shown to me by anyone. Practicing with your hands tense (if that's what your arguing for) just seems counterproductive to me in terms of taiji theory.

@kaizerone you sound like an expert, wanna show us how it's properly done? stop criticizing and just enjoy the video.

[Saikejo]

@luccetransportation are you a master? did you looked at every different style in Tai Chi? hmm? wait are you even a master? it's funny how you criticize people when you don't even have any videos of yourself practicing tai chi.
