Sun Style Tai Chi's Golden Rooster 🐓

[@SephirothSyrraeoth]

Interesting variety to what I know. I practice Chen style Taiji and Golden Rooster shares some basic movement similarities but execution looks completely different. Great seeing other interpretations of the practice.

[@AipingTaiChi]

yes, I love learning about other styles and seeing different interpretations and expressions!

Hello again, I enjoy your breakdown of the postures. My Shifu taught that first posture as San Ti posture (from Xingyi), with the rear foot 45 degrees or so.

[@AipingTaiChi]

Thank you 🙏❤️ Yes, that is more technically correct. But I have found that most Tai Chi students aren't able to get into the stance properly with back foot at 45 degrees because they haven't developed enough strength in the legs, hips and kua to support the weighting in the back leg and their knees were buckling in. So to make the stance safer for everyone's knees, I have been teaching it with the back foot turned out more so it's easier for people to get into the stance with good knee alignment.

@@AipingTaiChi No one is going to be left who actually knows anything if everyone is teaching watered down stuff like this. How can you teach Sun style without San ti foundation?

What’s the application for this form?

[@AipingTaiChi]

My interpretation is hand guards the side of the face while you're driving a hard knee into the groin

It's not a chicken. It's the golden pheasant, aka, fire phoenix. Let's not dilute the cultural heritage for prudishness.

[@AipingTaiChi]

I hadn't heard that before. I always thought it was 金鸡独立 (simplified characters) which is golden chicken.
