 Hey, welcome back to Tai Chi Top 5 Techniques. We're going to do Technique number 3, Rise and Fall. Hey, are you ready for Technique number 2, the most powerful Tai Chi technique? Here we go, it's called Rise and Fall. Here's how you do it. We're going to bring our hands up and bring our hands down. Very simple. If you do it with the proper Tai Chi techniques and Tai Chi Qigong, you get tremendous power from this very simple yet deceptively powerful technique. From the side, now notice that my whole body is moving throughout the whole movement. If I exaggerate it, it's going to be like this. That's a little bit more exaggeration. Now if you want to do it in a more internal fashion, you won't see any of that. One point to notice is that when I'm raising up, I'm squeezing the inside of my legs. When I'm coming down, I'm expanding my knees outwards. If I keep going, it's going to go down and my knees will keep going outwards. When I come up, my knees go back in and it sucks in the Chi up to your Tan Tan. Up your spine into your hands and then it comes down. It goes back down to your Tan Tan and do your Hui Yin or Perinium and then splits off to the outside of your leg down to the feet into your K-1 spot. All that is acupuncture stuff that you don't really need to know. All you need to know is that you need to use your whole body and have it move up and down very smoothly. Now you know the technique, let's show you how to use it. This technique is particularly useful in an ambush situation because when you're walking down the street, you walk down the street like this with your hands up ready to fight. You don't walk around the street ready to fight people, right? How do you walk down the street? You walk down the street with your hands down like this with your body up and upright like this. So let's say a tag comes out of nowhere. It comes out of nowhere. I see something. Whoa! That's your natural reaction. Your hands just come up naturally. That's the first rise. Rise. Which opens me up for the fall. Boom. Right down the eyes. Scrape the face. Depending on how dangerous the attack is, then you want to up your force. You don't want to scrape the eyes out of just a little kid that is just playing or something like that. Then you're going to go to jail or you're going to get in big trouble. But if it's a guy, he's got a knife, he's got a weapon, he's got friends with him, then it's okay to gouge the guy's eyes out. So you have to be aware of your situation and be tactical about it. So here you go. Rise. Fall. Down. In training, just do it on the chest. That's enough. Just pretend that's his face. That's not comfortable even for the chest. No, not at all. And you can even do it with one hand. Let's say you're holding a baby or groceries like that. You have one and you still do it with one hand. So another one is a reverse. Fall and rise. Let's say that rise and then another one's here. Fall. Rise again. So you can just use this up and down motion to do a lot of deflection. Down. Up. Down. Up. Boom. Another way you can use it, let's say that you're shorter than a guy, he's really tall. Boom. Up this way. It's a little bit too high, but you can just do it as you're short and he's coming for you. Duck. Boom. Okay, very simple. And if you practice enough, you can really do some serious damage to your arms right now. He's been trained wing tread. You've got tough bones, but for a regular guy, what do you think? Yeah, it's definitely got quite the sting for sure. It shocks the whole body basically. I can feel it radiating already. Okay, and I'm not using any power. That's it. It's being relaxed. Very relaxed power. So the key of this is to use relaxed power, use the whip. See how I'm using my body to whip it? With my whole body. So it's not just my hand going up like down, like in robics. They keep your, they move their hands in straight lines like this. Actually it's moving in a whip. Matching this is the whip. Boom. Okay. And when it's coming down, it's also a whip. Boom. Like that. Okay, so use that whipping action. Boom, right in the temple. Say you go boom, up. Boom, in the temple, in the ear. Okay, that can definitely... What do you think? Definitely, man. Definitely. You can't pass the date in person. Alright, so use with discretion. In training, just tap it on the head, or on the chest. Okay, or just do it on the arm. The arms can take the hits because they're strong, right? Okay, or shoulders. Okay? Alright, so that's rise and fall. Hey, thanks for watching top 5 Tai Chi Techniques.
