[2019] Shiho Saito [JPN] - Taiji - 15th WWC @ Shanghai Wushu Worlds - 2nd - 9.63

Japan's Shiho Saito takes the silver medal in Taijiquan at the 15th WWC.
Big shoutout to Judy Liu for helping me find the songs for Shiho's music so I could fix the bad audio in the original video.

Shiho Saito is absolutely amazing. Smoothness, dignity, vigour, melancholy, energy, concentration, everything mixed into one piece. This is celebration of life...

[@zhenshanliu2700]

absolutely one of the best. Her movements and the music have perfect alignment, which showed much more potential of taiji

[@applebee3735]

do you know the name of the song? It's so good and powerful song.

[@manugurasan7060]

The soundtrack from "Red Sorghum".

Sometimes one sits and finds themselves watching the beauty of a spirited flame and a lively sea dancing upon the shore.

@ShadowOfElesium One of the most beautiful comments I've had the pleasure of reading in a long time. 👍

[@jackieclai]

Amazing athlete... her performance is so graceful

[@cheesenglim8729]

the beauty of her moves are phenomenal! Her strength, grace and speed....instead of talking kung fu, I am so blessed to see actually foreigners learning and knowing kung fu more than some of us Chinese. Amazing! Truly worthy of being a world champion!

[@mkarya7568]

Iamveryhappy thank, s

[@TAROTAI]

Kung Fu?? You are Chinese? & you are using an inaccurate term to use for Tai Ji, of all Martial Arts; as Kung Fu (功夫) means; high level of skill achieved over time with effort. Kung Fu or Gong Fu (Pinyin) is not a Martial Art - it refers to any endeavour where one places their effort, in a meritorious way, to whatever action is being taken.

[@watanabehanshi]

Shiho Saito performed so well & beautiful. All the best to her future !!

[@nobay]

[@HUEnshiro_do_Norte]

0:47 Daaaammmmmmnnnnnn...!!!! She seems like she's drawing a Tai Chi diagram! So subtle and fabulous! I never thought that a taolu could bring me tears. "Xie Xie".

[@lucasmartins1368]

Who is ever wondering wich songs are these: - Theme of Yu Zhanao - Roc Chen - Theme Of Jiu Er - Roc Chen

[@zatrusofnietzche2281]

Easier for westerners to type "Red Sorghum ". I just checked all variations give the same song. Possibly its looped for this performance as the song is less than 3 minutes. Thank you for posting the name. I've added it fir my taijiquan. ☯️ 🙏 Amitofou....

[@Rasmus_Ai]

Beside that Ms. Shiho Saito is superb and kirei Foxy Lady, The commentators are actually really good at it. Highly recommendable 🙂🙏

So perfect form 👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪 amazing performance ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️

[@johnnyhs_ngnng5554]

Tai Chee is a good free hand exercise for all men and women. It slow motion & fast motion. If you want to build your health you have to do it religiously every day, preferably in the morning. It is not recommended for ppl who have no patience. This an art of self defence. Invented by Chinese century’s so. Having said this I wish you all well & good luck.

[@jogeshboro8086]

Wow it's so wonderful.

[@leonpse]

I like how she is rooted, more so than the others I've seen. Also, she seems to finish the movements. She could be more relaxed to have a better flow. Great!

[@mostguitarswins]

Focus, strength, poise 💓👏👏👏

[@bluewaverenovationsltdpurt8104]

[@jkuo5150]

For some reason, she has Chinese character. Sato San doesn't look like a Japanese. What a great performer!

[@manugurasan7060]

"Red Sorghum"

[@jhernan594]

🥰🥰🥰beautiful

[@redbunnytail9528]

I like the taiji forms competition routines a lot. Not being too winded is something cool. You know? In fact, even though taiji forms competitions have been around for a long time, it's always relevant and novel, because the rest of the world of athletic competition is always looking for an 'edge' for MORE endurance. I have this hyper sensitivity to seeing people who are winded after a competition. Freaks me out. Spamming and training stamina is the best way to negate 'skill.' In theory, you're more rested and calmer after doing your form, although THIS is a competition and a BIG one.

[@ZiJinCheng]

What song is used in this?

[@joycelu2446]

红高粱主题曲，九儿

[@MrDraquo]

If poetry was a person... Wow👏👏👏👍

Nice taolu expression!

[@stevekitella4781]

Beautiful in looks and talent, she's very very good. Become water!

[@bruceyung70]

The announcer made a mistake I think. Taichi isn’t Japanese culture at all. They don’t practice this in parks. It’s Chinese art. Chinese ppl practically grew up practicing this art but it’s very rare in both Korea and Japan.

[@leonpse]

It's also very complex. Japanese are famous for focusing on being really good at a few things.

[@dylanotto1675]

@@leonpse yeah like Ramen

[@Elfangorlanzhou]

Have you even been to Japan? I used to live in shirioshi province, Japan. Tai Chi is actually fairly popular in Japan and not just recently. But for quite a while too. They even got a similar Japanese version called Takiken yet Tai Chi is definitely more popular than Takiken even in Japan

[@bruceyung70]

@@Elfangorlanzhou I was born and grew up in Michigan. So you are probably more correct than I. I was only stationed for a few months in Okinawa as a US Marine back in the late ’90s. I have seen a little bit of scenery in Okinawa but not Japan mainland either. That's why I started “I think” and I thought it was pretty rare in Japan and Korea. I guess I was wrong.

[@zatrusofnietzche2281]

Gotta say, I agree with the US man ( I suspect the other comment is a deception/false information ). The two nations are not friendly to each other. Obviously there are some people from each nation practicing other countries arts but they are rare. I can't imagine Japan doing this or practicing on mass ! . It boarders on bad etiquette, even anti national !. I've practiced Japanese kung fu "shorenji kempo" and I practice taijutsu , ( hand fan, Aikido & kenjutsu basically). This was a good performance but the narrator was incorrect twice ! His comment about being popular in Japan and he says the focus is on the eyes 😂😅 that's like saying I'm using a shotgun for a close grouping of shot. Trust me dude your right. 🪖 🇬🇧. 🇪🇸 🏡 ☯️ 🙏 47yrs of arts. "El Maestro de blanko"....
