hot tip if you lose your balance do a retake 😂goofball

this should be a 2 minute video🥱

This is fantastic! Brings so many principles together. Thanks!

The very section sorely missing in cheng tzu's 37. Ty sifu!

Hey Ray. As a beginner in martial arts, which of your videos should I watch until your book comes out. Unfortunately, I don't have anyone to practice with. And my schedule doesn't permit going to a gym for classes. I think I should begin with this training as a core of my martial practice. I understand the concept of angles well in regard to weightlifting.

Yeah yeah yeah. Let's see you spare with another player in a hard style system. Use it! Then I'll be impressed. My experience is, a lot of tai ji players resort to everything but tai ji in that situation.

Thank you Ray, lots there to work on in the new year. 😕🙏🏼☯️👊🏼

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Uussshhh

Thank you!

Thanks for the review, Sifu. I was going to ask if you could make a playlist, but I see you're way ahead of me! kzbin.info/aero/PLy6vA6aVHYznYKD4oZQvFiv6jPqaJPpU8 -The third praying mantis who used to steal Master Liang's biscuits

Hi RAY, my daily practice consists of warm up of all muscles frpm neck to the toes, theni do bafa wubu 8 energies five stances then ba duan jin 8 pieces of silk then long forrm 108. i have 20 great chinese music programs to do these to so it really gives me that smoothness and roundness feeling. I always read thru the sections of the form so i don't having blank spots to get stuck in. I enjoyed you willow explanations of line of force, centerline, and balance. Ross

Fantastic! Thanks!

hi Ray, i noticed in your form you don't continually advance but end up coming back to your center of gravity or dantien. why is this so. Ross

The centre of gravity is much lower. It is at the top of the sacrum

I'm not sure what you mean by center of gravity. The physical center of gravity is located at the lowest tan tien or 2.5 to 3 thumb sizes below the navel

Really good stuff.

This is more like the Jiang Rongqiao form All the names are the same I don't believe this comes from a yinfu lineage really Doesn't matter still good kung fu

This is probably the stupidest thing I've ever seen...

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing this!

Thank you Sifu!

I know you are trying to help people, but you got to help yourself first and you don't understand yet why you cannot talk and actually do at the same time, so let me help you. If you are going to demo the move, just do it, don't talk about it, don't think about it at all, or you won't be doing it. You have to shut down the linguistic centers of your mind and expand your consciousness to cover your whole body, uniting it into a kinesiological unity. You can't do that and talk, you can't even think in words and do it --> kzbin.info/www/bejne/j162p3SPjaiMbbMsi=rtpgjBF8RzHqmogo

Nice.

Thank you for your insight!

I always loved Leonard's book on Mastery simply because he put the emphasis on the journey and not the destination. You are so right in that there is no end in the pursuit of excellence. Gladwell's 10,000 hours to achieve mastery of any endeavor is a pretty good rule of thumb in gaining mastery. Perhaps mastery is just a train stop on your journey. Even after reaching mastery, there's always an opportunity to expand your knowledge and skills, staying curious and open to new possibilities. What slays me is some 30 year old claiming Grand Mastery. You ain't fooling anyone but yourself.

Thank you Sifu! Insightful as always!

Sound advice, indeed, the only other secret worth having is to practise with as many skilled training partners as you can find to compliment your solo practise. There are many aspects to swordplay that can only be learned through two-person training. IMO

Clearly its a move you can do, or talk about doing, but one cannot both do and talk about it at the same time.

Exactly, Nr Ray Hayward abd the kady assustabtm half is given and the second half, our part is to be added to completete it. Amazing. Many thanks, all the best. Paul,69

Wow! Thank you Sifu! I love the thoughts about improvising linking the postures together! 🙏

Good stuff!

Mind moves the chi and the chi moves the body.

TT Liang ! What an incredible inspiration! R.I.P.

Is this form from the late great T.T. Liang ?

Great explanation. Very clear. Always learn something from Sifu Ray.

What is Ray trying to accomplish? Is it for health and longevity, or is it for self defense?

What happened to the spin kick toward the end?

Thank you,Sifu.🙏🎸☯️🕉️

great interview y'all, thanks. :D

I'm excited about the opportunity to interview Matt later. I was humbled and a bit thrown into panic to be brought up in the interview.

21:15 The questions 🙂

I enjoy Ken’s sense of humor, wisdom, stories. 🙏

what are the techniques for creating the light body? there are no qigong book that give PRACTICAL way of teaching this

this is cool and awesome, thanks for sharing

Don’t you think they were referring to the internal jin. Even though it looks like the body is stopped the Jin is still moving. Basic internal part of taijji. Why would realized masters be referring to external concepts. Too limiting

Thank you for posting. May I ask what line under Yin Fu this set of changes come from?

Don t post. U re throwing shit to this art

Thanks from New Zealand Sifu🙏
