I began studying with Maggie Newman one of the professor's senior students in the late 1970s. I learned this form, sword form, push hands and sword dueling. Maggie is now 100. I still practice and play.

absolutely magnificent!

Even watching it is relaxing ❤

Dommage , on ne voit pas les pieds...

He moving like old man , negative energy nothing with light 💡 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Awesome to be able to view this

Magnificent control, balance and agility for her age in this video.

She is age 77 in this video. I will never quit Tai Chi, wow.

I am lucky to know now even the small amount of what I was taught then.

EXCELLENT... BEEN PRACTICING FOR SHORT TIME ... ONLY 17 YEARS ...

I began learning Tai Chi back in the 1980s but didn't practice often until 2005. It became a daily routine and has been for almost 20 years. At 77 years old, my mobility, balance, and leg strength are far beyond others my age. Wish I had taken it more serious earlier in life. If you want to do something for your body that has lasting effects-learn Tai Chi!

"His" approach to tai ji is no more valid than "Yours."

Pratiquons, pratiquons, encore et encore.

his kicks at his age, wow

AMAZING balance on his spinning heel kick (5:40). I am so impressed and in awe.

É l'amore per questa antica disciplina, che per i cinesi è parte integrante della loro cultura, che può portare a questi eccezionali livelli di conoscenza del proprio corpo, mente ed energia. Grazie per questo bellissimo video. ❤

Wu was a Tai Chi boss❤🙏

His rival in San Francisco was Ko Lin Yin, who said what's so good about him, he died in his early 70's. What Ko didn't say was Cheng loved to drink. That's what killed him.

I learned this Form in the early 90's from Robert, from the Taoist Sanctuary, San Diego. I still practice it, as it's such a great way to meditate and relax. When I was learned it, the hardest part was to move slowly, at the time I couldn't really understand why. Now in my late 60's I get a chuckle because that's how fast I am able to move. But the point is to use every muscle and joint every day, as they will cease up from lack of motion and use. Everyday is just one more piece of Rice Paper, placed upon the others. No Belts, and no destination, just being in the Zen and now.

This is almost the 37 Form which I learned from Sifu Bob Lowey of Seven Stars about 30 years ago. I still perform it every morning after Qi Gong exercises. Ching's balance and "softness" of movements are effortless.

What was Sifu Ma's age at the time this was filmed?

Extremly bad for knees.

Softly done, easy to follow movements for beginners like me.

Does anyone know why CMC37 doesn't include "nail to the bottom of the sea"? Imo it's a very effective manoeuvre and I am surprised it IS included in the chin gov 24 style.

I'm not mesmerised by his technique or anything. But what can you expect from an 80 year old or so man? But this is the best example on YT I think when you want to learn this form. Remember to play around with the execution speed yourself, relax and always to to floooooow.

I teach this form and it's great to see his flow. But that flow is utterly ruined by suddenly putting an advert in the middle. Whoever decided to do that clearly has no idea about how watching another perform tai chi can affect people.

Praises and Abundant Thanks to Allah Alhamdulillah through all conditions Amiin

This is great to find! I studied T'ai Chi with a friend in Southern California almost 50 years ago using his book T'ai Chi Ch'uan: A Simplified Method of Calisthenics for Health & Self Defense. It was one of the reasons I move to Taiwan over 35 years ago. The interesting thing is I never got into T'ai Chi in Taiwan due to other pursuits. But now I'd like to pick it up again and seeing the man doing the moves in the video is very inspirational. Thank you.

Half man, half trousers but all master.

I am blown away by his flow

this is the master I studied his form so good to see him again.agreat man

I did study a bit with one of his senior students which was very interesting. I started with his book, co-authored with Robert W. Smith, back in '68/69 but very soon realised I needed a teacher for this and this started a long journey into Tai Ji, Xing Yi, Ba Gua, Qi Gong, Chinese Medicine, the language, philosophies and culture, etc. At nearly 74 years old, still find daily Tai Ji and Qi Gong practice invaluable. You can stay shallow or go very deep: the benefits just amplify.

I hope it wasn't Bruce Lee who was reincarnated in her. Although now there are no special problems with changing the gender.

Once you have the 108 down cheng 37 is very easy to learn I taught myself cmc 37 in 40 minutes. However to get balance the form must be done on both sides. Chen style is my main tai chi form. I also do the cmc 37 with chen body mechanics and active chan su jing.

magnifico

HEN HAO ❕☯️ ❕

Thank you!

Ultimate flow, has no structure. Structure is simply to being you to the banks, to find the flow. Once you find the flow, you can still continue with the structure, but it's so important. The flow will be dictating the movement, rather than the other way around.

A friend of mine recently recommended to learn tai chi online with The tai chi academy from Chris Davis, with Discover Taiji from Adam Mizner or taijiacademy from Liang de Hua in the next lock down period What do you think? Can you help?

The biggest problem with videos is that people believe this is THE way to do it rather than just one of many ways of performing the form. The Professor would have been constantly adapting the movements. The way he did the form ten years earlier would look similar but quite different in many ways. The way to learn tai chi is not to mindlessly follow movements but to constantly test, experiment and adapt your skills according to different criteria - maximum power with minimum effort, energy flow, structural alignment and so on. Make the form your own personal expression of what it is to be human and alive. The way he did the form in this video is the way that suited him and his body and energy flow at that exact moment in time.

Alhamdulillah received

This is my favorite footage of the 37 form. Each of Lo Sifu’s movements lives and breathes-this is another way to say he shows intentionality, but that is such a buzzword these days. I find his form so soulful & powerful, his movements so expansive. Really easy to see possible martial arts applications in his form. His consciousness imbues his movements completely. It reminds me of something Ravi Shankar said about playing music-that each note should be alive.

Not to forget his age!

Very good!

Love the tempo changes!!! 💛💛💛

Note also the perfect balance in a practitioner this age. He's not doing any extreme balance positions, which is no recommend after late middle-age, but the balance he's showing is rock solid and exceptionally rooted.
