Nov 28, 2007 - Tai chi has many valid qualities, back in ancient times, it was fast moving, combat oriented. Now, it is long, over exaggurated drawn out movments that would make it almost useless unless you were a master in the art to do any damage. because of it's large circling hand motions, any close up wing chun practitioner could easily exploit this flaw. However, internal power generated from this martial art cannot be beat.

Dec 3, 2007 - not quite- taiji has gone through many 'simplifications' not really exagerations. taiji can be fast- faster than any external art can possibly go b/c of its internal and relaxed nature. but to be faster, one must first go slower and train+develop internal strength and technique. either way u must be a master to be effective in taiji or else u aint doin taiji just some external technique!

imbrd Says:

Dec 3, 2007 - but in external art by emphasizing on this forced flow called 'kiyap', chi flow is unnaturalized, blockage occurs in tension and thus speed+power is greatly limited

Dec 9, 2007 - correction,the energy comes from the earth(root)In defense you yield and roolback and bounce the attackers energy of the ground back at them whilst exhaling in a structurly relaxed state,breath is important but its the centrifugal forces that recieve and issue power.

Jan 24, 2008 - few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand

karkkosvolfe Says:

Jan 24, 2008 - yes that is trueyou will have to keep practising though

karkkosvolfe Says:

Jan 24, 2008 - wrong

karkkosvolfe Says:

Jan 26, 2008 - As to books,There aren't any that I know of. Since Tai Chi is traditionally a family martial art in China.

Mar 15, 2008 - DON'T go to books. That's the first thing to understand. Books and videos of Chen can get you hurt...deep inside. Find a Sifu. There is no substitute. Let me know if I can help.Chansi27

Mar 22, 2008 - i live where the only martial art nearby are taikwondoe and brazillian martial arts those I do not like in my opinion so the only way i can get closest to tai chi is video instructor

bignipli Says:

Apr 24, 2008 - I voted for that! Practising with an experienced instructor is easy to get hurt!

chansi27 Says:

Apr 24, 2008 - Taichitsao, your form looks good, clean, strong. Good stance. Much respect for your teachers and your FLOOR TIME. You just never hear folks talk about the floor time. This is the hidden great secret of Chinese martial arts...far as I can tell. So fellow students, how much do you want to fajin? How much gold can you (can I) carry? Thank you for your video. Greetings from the Rocky Mountains and Sin Lun kwoon.

LAHrebirth Says:

May 30, 2008 - impossible to go to a real sifu since all they care about moneyas a chinese person i'm kinda let down by this, even china itself doesn't teach probably implication, to the point the have brought out a stupid art that is similar to 'kickboxing' but dumb lookingplus how is self taught taichi bad to your internal health, unless its building chi alot?

LAHrebirth Says:

May 30, 2008 - this type of taichi doesn't look as good as the movie 'taichi' or 'the taichi master' in english 2008 TVBsure movies are movies, but this doesn't show how to absorb energy and redirect itborrow strength to admit strength, PROPER application and also puts westerners in there place when they say soft energy cantt beat hard energy i.e boxing

bigrobnz Says:

Aug 12, 2008 - Wow!! Hard form!! Wood take a long time to get it to that level!!
