@yogasamrat, you are welcome to your opinion, but not your own facts. Master Cheng did study with Chen Zhenglei and Chen Xiaowang. CZL has even taught at her school in CT. I spoke with CXW a few years ago and he immediately remembered her and praised the quality of her taiji. Yes, her career started in wushu in the 1970's but after retirement from the team, she spent many years studying the traditional art.

She invented her own routine, so you can't really copy. It is unique at least.

This is the first two sections of the Chen 56 Form, the standard for competition in China. This is not her own invention.

Truly remarkable. One of the finest tai ji performances I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. She is truly and deeply skilled. Hao Tai Ji Quan Kung Fu!

@yogasamrat

To see the Yogasamrat's version of "good tai chi" search "tai chi master battle"

Tai Chi is nothing mysterious or complicated. Just very difficult to master and takes a lot of practice. And one of the non-mysterious and simple concept in Tai Chi is rooting, balance and straight posture which this lady seems to have it down. Yogasamrat is just way to freaking delusional and thinks Tai Chi is some mysterious art that requires knowledge of tiny esoteric details to obtain super power

mrdena you can spout all thw glorious epithets about Ms.Cheng but it appears you know fuck all about taiji.otherwise you would find another teacher!Ms Cheng is a product of wushu academy training!I doubt she studied at all with chenxiaowang or chenzheng le.So put that uo your ass and smoke it!

@yogasamrat , She studied under Chen Xiaowang and Chen Zhenglei for Chen style. Do you have 32 gold medals and the record # of consecutive years as the leader of China's Wu-Shu "A" team? While she is a incredible performer, she also has very solid foundations from learning strictly under various lineage holders. "just a beginner?" Also, for the record, she's a National Treasure of China and a world Grand Master. Ass.

[yogasamrat]

This is what you call performance taiji. She has studied all the styles and all the forms .Perhaps she know some style better then others but she is just a beginner at the chen style! If you want to see chenstyle,look at the 4 jingang of chenjiagou or students of Tianxiuchen,Chen zhaokui, xushixi,wangqingyun etc. beijing,henan, shandong,hebei

Impressive.

[yogasamrat]

Master Aiping relax your hands,i know you are trying to keep the chen shape palm but you are creating to much tension.Relax and breath.

Amazing performance. I studied with her when I lived in CT. She CAN fight. She's only like 5' 2", and I watched her use only 25% of her effort to knock a 190 lb guy into a wall -- he was standing around 5 feet away from it. He couldn't "feel" where the power could be coming from in one of the moves.

[AnjoDeGuardaThe4th]

wow what a performance. I only wish i could do something like that and it'd take years to master..
