Silk Reeling is a set of repetitive spiral movements with the arms and hands. The gradual opening and closing movements create inner energy circulation, concentrated on a connection to the earth, dan tian rotation, waist turning, and knee alignment. It is the foundation for Tai Chi practice, especially the Chen Style. It will develop your coordination and leg strength, as well as tendon and muscle relaxation. This instructional DVD is in English, compiled from the teachings of Grandmasters Chen Zhenglei, Chen Xiaowang, and Zhu Tiancai.

i'm very confused about where to start i tai-chi, i have know clue, but i really wanna do it

[taichitsao]

You may start with this Silk Reeling practice.

[KendallChiq]

thank you i also want to ask as i'm learning from dvds and get better, would the dvds help me in self defense, and teach me how to do so?

[taichitsao]

we have 4 videos on tai chi for self=defense. Just search for " tai chi application"

[JDBoelter]

That's beautiful work. Question - at what point in Chen style training should a person begin Silk Reeling, and how much of his/her training should he devote to it (vs form practice or some of your other programs?)

[taichitsao]

Silk Reeling can be practiced before you start a routine. When you are comfortable with silk reeling, the routine study becomes easy. We also use silk reeling as a warm up exercise every class.

After seeing some of these videos, I went ahead and bought 3 of the DVDs. It is so helpful to watch this instructor. I have studied for 6 years, and I can say that the way this instructor moves communicates the principles so well - in every movement, even these silk reeling warmup movements. His explanation of the energetic movement going on in the body was perfect for me - for once, someone can tell me what's going on in my body in each part of the movement. Excellent!

@KendallChiq videos are no substitute for a teacher

[ShredST]

@andreanws It seems to the principles of the movements in Tai Chi. The fighting moves in Tai Chi are basically application of these movement principles.

[andreanws]

is this for fighting or the excercise?

[Taijiquan4U]

Excellent instruction! There are many ways to do Silk Reeling... This is one of the best. If you do not have an instructor, this is the next best method. Developing Qi is the reason these "exercises" were developed many years ago. If you practice every day you will start to actually "feel the Qi" and carry that forward into your day.

if you want to learn tai chi get a teacher. You are playing with chi its not a joke. Tai chi is the way to enlightenment and overcoming ones limitations

[STUBBORNOTTER]

@KendallChiq If you can't learn how to do brain surgery from watching DVDS You can not understand how to do Tai Chi with out a teacher.

[STUBBORNOTTER]

@KendallChiq where do you live? Have you found a teacher yet?

[TheGreenchiller]

@KendallChiq

You NEED a teacher ! The DVDs may help you if you forgot something, your teacher told you, but forget learning this only by DVD.

[krikering]

Can i know the advisable amount of time that should be spent on each of the exrexcises in this video?
