Thank you 🙏

i am watching this on a daily basis

very helpful video

It’s very helpful to have the verbal cues when I practice this sequence of basic Tai Chi movements. Thank you Cain!

this video very helpful to learn the transitions from one posture to another

Lems Primal Zens are awesome as are Xero Prio. Both lightweight with flat soles, zero drop and a nice toe box.

Great video!

loved this video

Excellent presentation, some applications would be nice. Bill P.

great intro to walking Thank you.

so helpful to have on hand for learning at my convenience

Thank You for this. It’s still hard, but the video really helps.

Excellent

The constant reminders of discrete attribues of the form helps with mental focus. Thank you,

Well done! Very helpful to see this so carefully demonstrated while we're trying to learn the second part of this form. Thank you!

Wonderful

Very helpful! I’m watching the footwork carefully

Very helpful video demonstrating the 13 postures. Can't wait for next class

Grasp the Sparrows Trail is a perfect introduction to Tai Chi and this set of videos is all you need to get started.

Appreciate the kind words.

Thank you for superior master teaching with practice sessions that contain integrated dialogue empahsizing form, precision, concentration.with integrated principles.

This is terrific. Use the settings to slow the play-back speed to better follow the moves.

Yes, I keep looking at the ground. Thanks for showing the use of the pole ... really helps awareness of centering the body points and keeping level.

Cain I can't do this due health but thank you for sharing. I really enjoy your M & M classes with seniors. Where do you film it looks so peaceful and quiet

👍

I am a new student to Tai-Chi. I have reviewed at least "20 Tai Chi Masters" on KZbin. I was struggling to find a Master teacher. Thank you for your disciplined structured lessons and principles integration. I thought I had strong legs, and have been both humbled and motivated.

I have a question, in reading and practicing different forms, they always say to not let the knees go over the toes. When you finish in "Ha", it looks like your knees are over your toes. Is this ok? Or am I just not seeing it correctly?

Excellent

@1:50 perhaps YOU don't know the _translation_ of *Bai Hui* , but informed & educated practitioners understand precisely what it means: * 'Hundred Convergences' * located on the highest and most yang point on the human body, the head - as to *Dan Tian* is a simple translation referred to as: 'Field of Elixir' You are out of your depth, Mr. Hat - on to: Hui Yin 会阴部 yùnyínbù/Hui Yin. This the perineum, which is the area of skin between the genitals and anus, as well as the tissues at the bottom of the pelvic cavity. Now, find yourself another job . . seriously

Ah so glad I found your channel. Have been practicing taiji/bagua and feldenkrais for over 10 years and it's rare to find such quality instruction on KZbin. Have been a bit lax about my studies lately and and this is motivating. I think what you're describing is also described as 'internal stretching' but correct me if I'm wrong.

Posture Breathing Dantian

finding a proper taichi shoe is still a saga... thanks for the review. I'll check.

That well said. I've been trained the same, different words but everything same. Maybe slight turning of the knee out, screwing slight of the heel out but opposite direction at knee to hip, sinking, relaxing and sinking kua but everything you described is exact training of embracing the tree standing. Very thorough

Thank you for your genuine and no-nonsense sharing. Always good to see people who have done the work and have the skills. And how simple and clearly you lay out the path. It's crazy how little traction this channel has in regards to likes and comments. And of course there's always one or two commenters who come to brag that their glass is fuller, haha. And indeed there's people just 'learning' Tai Chi / ZZ / QG / NG from KZbin. We can but smile about the wonderful world of people and the platforms like this that bring us together. Anyway I'm just here to give appreciation to what you have to share. Best wishes to you and your students 🙂☯️👍

Cain your video was better than other videos on KZbin. I studied Tai-Chi for 2 years and the first class was all about the step. My teacher mentioned something you ommitted which is "Grounding yourself", which meant as you take the step, make sure your toes go from pinky to Big toe "completely feeling" the terrain your stepping on, assuring is safe, and grounding yourself as you're about to shift your weight.

Brilliant video, informative, helpful and clear. Thank you for sharing.

These helped me fix my upper-back problems together with regular yoga stretches!

Setting is in too dark place cant see clearly thank you

I enjoyed this video and ordered a pair . I was confused by the "extra" lace the each shoe came with or perhaps it's supposed to have an addditional very long lace at the top of the shoe . Or perhaps it needs to be double tied so the lace isn't touching the ground ? Comfy shoe just have to figure out laces :)

I practice on concrete most of the time, but in the winter I practice on a polished walnut floor. The form of tai chi that I practice has two spins, one heel spin and one on the ball of the foot. If a shoe has a very grippy sole, it makes the spins difficult, especially on the walnut floor. How would you describe the amount of grip of these shoes?

Could you please explain more throughly about the pressure between the meridian points? What would be your palm and what would be your shoulder in your analogy?

Muy buena explicación, al bajar la rodilla y estirar la espalda creas espacio en el cuerpo. Gracias

GM Cain. Are you ever going to do some senior Tai Chi on your utube? So enjoy your program at the senior center. Thanks

Thanks … so easy to understand nothing hidden.

Thank you …… a nice easy to understand explanation ..

打的很棒。

Great to see the form being taught and practised on the right side.

This is excellent. Thanks for sharing this detail on how to properly progress with this practice 👍

Please what merk?thx

Have seen plenty of Aikido on here but not much kung fu.
