Thank you again! One of the distinguishing characteristics of CPL's taiji is the back foot is 35 degrees rather than 45 degrees - I've never heard an explanation for this. Would you please comment on this. My thought is that the applications are faster or snappier; the area or cone of action is more concentrated.

Have you ever thought about a book on CPL 99 self defense applications?

Chen Pan Ling “Play the Lute” is the same as the “battle stance” used in the Chinese military version of Hsing I. I don’t think this is coincidental!

🙏🙏🙏🪷🕊️

Yes, that's a good application. I never saw it that way in motion. Makes sense to the flow of the movement.

Omg this is pure wing chun. Not the actual moves themselves but the very concept. Many people think that but doing a move by itself is considered a block or parry, then punch afterwards will never succeed. But it’s by tightening the moves and at the same time is when you get to hit and block or parry at the same time and even a back up block when another strike comes.

Thank you Dan 🙏 Always waiting for such calm and detailed way of doing things of such imporance 🙏 It is so beautiful to see how to do every movement ! You can break this in 10 videos ... its about learning proper way 🙌 Great great great 🙏

Not the best production to make me desire another episode. Thanks though

Thank you again Dan for demonstrating Chen Pan Ling's taiji! I'm looking forward to further demos. Some may not know that this form and CPL's brief comments is fully documented in "Chen Pan Lings Original Tai Chi Chuan Textbook" from around 1998. It appears to be out of print and a rare book. Plumb Publications also offers books illustrating CPL school forms - in Mandarin (can be translated by google and a cell phone), and some videos.

Awsome ... that is essence of self defence , for me ! Thank you Dan 🔝🔝🔝

That is a deflection, not a block. And in a real fight, the striker may be at the distance shown in the video as he is stepping in to strike, so such a deflection may work well, but the fight soon becomes too close for deflections like this one, and necessitates defences of covering up (true blocking) and jamming/smothering the limb to prevent the strike's commencement. There is only a particular and narrow distance at which such deflections work. That is why so many karate/kung fu practitioners lose against boxers and street fighters.

We called it the quick change block... Very nice, very effective. Especially for grabbing & sliding down to the wrist for waistlocks 👍👍👍

What about feints

Most misunderstood and most misinterpreted! Thank you for the refreshing interpretation!!!!!!

Question, have you tried its equlients like che sau, hubad ?

Hilarious. That's nothing like how the human body reacts to a powerful strike with real intent. More pixie dust from delusional clowns that have never been in a real street fight with a serious opponent.

...thanks...good instruction.

O nooo... Dan are you ok ? Are you fine ? Your student hits hard !! Even on cell phone is loud 💥💥💥 O my dear friend ... take care of yourself ! Little turn ... against power of fist 😮 Sorry just cant stop ... 😂😂😂 Wish U all Best 😊

You always can admire practice and dedication.

In high school wrestling an Eastern European man would come in and help us. I grew found of her rhythmic flowing armdrags. As I got older and modified the technique for freestyle, Greco, Sambo and Judo, I loved the way the body could be controlled in either a reaction of opponents offense. Eventually I would use chain grappling to create reactions that I knew were coming.

Is this Aikido 😳

Nice

The Principle of Fajin Shaking

Thank you Dan ...its great way of redirecting force 👍 Stronger and faster attack goes (Yang) , harder is fall (Yin) 👍 You are showing how things goes ... and it works 100% on street as selfdefence 🙌 Wish you all Best 🙏

Nice

This reminds me the Heian Nidan begining

Favorite move from the 99, great demo!

OMG Dan I think I heared powerfull slap 🤣🤣🤣 ! Your student will crush all others in no time 😂😂😂 Did he slap you too ... OMG he did !!! Dan are you OK !? Are you alive 😮😮 Like a raging bull !!! And then you : " I dont want to kick him" Then chair start to fly ... Dan ... this is Best short video from you ever 😂😂😂 Samo udri ... uvijek možeš reći " Joj nisam htio" Pozdrav i čuvaj se 😂❤

Marvelous explanations. I wish the video / sound quality was a bit better.

Where did that time go..x

Wtf is this bullshit

Hi Dan, just watched your review on the Solaris , it’s been some time since you posted it , are you happy with the guitar ? Im an absolute beginner and really like the look of this model , would it be suited to a beginner ? Cheers.

🙏💜🙏 beaucoup, j'adore ce taiji quan, Chen Pan Ling que je pratique depuis 13 ans

Wrong way to apply the Brush Knee Posture. It is mainly applied diagonally avoiding confrontation face to face"

Look at the Tortoise and the Hare.

Thank you for such awsome clip 🙏 So humble and so wise Master Dan D. 🙏 Your friend Nenad 🙏

Thank you for showing how one great Master teach every single movement to his students 🙏

Musicians practice their pieces slowly at first too. When the muscle memory is established, it can be done fast, naturally and correctly.

I'm not sure what you mean by the point is well below. When I say it feels like the nose is being broken, I'd be more accurate to say torn. As in, the pressure from the upper lip inwards towards the back of the head, and upwards towards the top, gives me a sensation that the cartilage at the point where the nostrils meet will be torn. I feel this spot isnt very mechanical technique wise. Ive experienced people overcoming it, and it tends to be a pain thing for them. Granted, the people ive seen have been prisoners or corrections officers. But ive not seen someone who couldnt resist this mechanically but could handle the pain. The upper lip pressure point tends to be more effective for me than the upper lip/nose tilt. I think what you may be experiencing that you say you cant explain, is, when a pain pint is pressed, there can be an involuntary relaxation of the muscles to allow the body to move to escape pain. I think maybe youre confusing this with the position mechanically overcoming the muscles due to good leverage. They feel similar. Its like, twisting someones wrist and their arm rotating after reaching a certain amount of resistance. Youre not putting out so much forceyouat youre overpowering their muscles. Youre putting enough force that the bodies nervous system decides that relaxing muscles and taking the path of least resistance around the incoming force is a better idea. Thats what i see this as.

this is a good defense, but the bridge of the nose thing can definitely be resisted. its not just pain, youre right, its the feeling of your nose being broken. but someone whose experienced a broken nose, or who is just tough can fight thru it. THere is acomponent of the grip being near the center of the head and giving a good angle for rotation, but with a strong neck you can overcome that too. it depends on speed force and timing. like i said its a good technique. because even if the head tilt fails youve got many options.

Dan, How do you pronounce your last name? Can you give a phonetic description? Thanks!

Dan, Great to hear your explanation. It is almost word for word what Steve Vosa teaches here in Albuquerque. He was one of the early students in the Brockton, MA dojo.

Thank you .slow motion without shaking ,so true .What style for that shown movement ?Long life

Are these lines or angles, 1-12 universal or is it part of your system specific to your school?

Dan, this drill is perfect for exploring the usage of Mawashi Uke. Of course there are other interpretations but this is the most basic and should be foundational to early understanding of the system.

So awsome when you do this 👏👏☝️

Good...

Nice to see Chen Pan-Ling's taiji so well represented - thank you!
