Tai Chi is a popular school of Chinese kung fu marked with slow and gentle movements that are designed for defense, strengthening the physique and disease prevention.
22-year-old Liang Biying is a Tai Chi athlete, after winning the women's Tai Chi contest at the World Wushu Championships in 2019. In her view, Tai Chi is an inclusive sport as it can be static and dynamic, and its styles are diverse.

I started doing Tai Chi in 2009 I started with Yang Style 24 Now , I do Wudang Quan from the San Feng Pai Lineage I have learned so much now that I do demonstrations for my kids , my nephews and niece as well I was already a serious martial artist having been a fighter and a instructor for the military in CQC Now I do Tai Chi for the aesthetic and the health benefits I also realized my movements are more graceful and my hands are always synchronized My hands know where to be , it's automatic now

@@شغف-ج2ض Tai Chi (Supreme Pole) only serves for Self-Defense, as long as Internal Alchemy is managed, otherwise it will simply be a good-for-nothing dance. That said, I will try to explain it in a simpler way and according to my experience. If you conserve your sexual energy (without losing a drop of semen) for at least 10 years, you can be a notable Tai Chi practitioner in the art of self-defense. To be a true Master in Tai Chi, it is necessary to conserve sexual energy or Qi, at least for 25 to 30 years. If you are not willing to maintain this discipline, it is better that you dedicate yourself to any other external technique, Kung Fu, Taekwondo, etc. that will also be useful for Self-Defense.

I started Silat and Escrima in 1993. In 2008 I got into Taiji, Bagua and Xingyi. I mostly just practice Taiji now. I like to stay flowing while focusing on the internal. I want to learn Chinese Language and Traditional Chinese Medicine. I've had real acupuncture before and it is incredible. I stay Flowing and Focus on Internal Energy That’s my Tai Chi It was the best thing for me I don’t really practice martial arts any more I could say I like to keep my meridians clean I know some Qigong and how to smoke a bong I like Ginseng Tea I love Acupuncture and Chinese Language and Medicine I’m really in touch with myself from practicing fighting I just no longer enjoy playing the game of violence What a horrible thing to laugh at inferior fighters My lighter’s up I struck oil Now I coil and twist My Wu/Hao Fist is bringing me the best energy Qi Out of all styles of Taiji I also like Sun and Yang Styles The practice can’t be matched by hard fists I want to learn Wu style I respect your hard style It also leads to enlightenment! I've been sober for 20 years. I am 46 YO. I started drinking alcohol when I was 9. My mother sold Ganja. I am from a party house in Hollywood. My father was a famous musician. I like to drink Ginseng Tea. I like Astragalus and Fo-Ti. I am a Master of Yin/Yang and 5 Elements. I hold a stick and rip the air Ferociously explode and kill I’m ill I chill I rap a billion times before I’m enlightened I like Shaolin style and Wu Tang I don’t gang bang I hang with the homies My homies know about my focus on Taiji I keep it clean I curl up into a little ball and die Don’t ask why I cry! I seen violence The silence as the air breaks Kids make mistakes and pull blades or guns Some kids do it just for fun Or to get a reputation on the street Join gangs why tough cops walk the beat Cops have a tough job in Los Angeles Where I’m from you get sick every day In the stomach Your stock plummet if you reach the summit You love it No more violence

It takes so much athleticism and flexibility to do what she is doing, this form of wushu tai chi is very different from the tai chi most people practice.

[@musoluvdance1583]

What is the difference?

[@Zz7722zZ]

@@musoluvdance1583 the moves are exaggerated for aesthetic purposes so much so that it breaks almost every rule of traditional tai chi.

[@ErraticFaith]

It's indeed 'different' because it's worthless, other than for looking pretty. It's decorative wushu. Not Taiji.

[@Ironfangzu]

@@ErraticFaith I love the way she moves but I do have to agree that it's totally useless too. Many of the moves are exaggerated for competitive purposes. Most of the jumping, spinning 360 and landing, or balancing on one leg while extending the other leg around the grounded let and then crouching, etc, are what I would term "show off" moves. None of it really connects to the traditional taiji where centering, balance, and self restraint are valued. This form of competitive taiji is more like gymnastics. They might as well start doing somersaults and flips. I know this lady is certainly talented enough to do flips, haha.

[@body187j3x1]

​@@Ironfangzu what do you mean useless? Its martial art, it's Art! Even Taiji is not used for fighting anymore, its healthy exercise and art. Do you also say Ballet is useless or Gymnastics is useless? Its competitive Art!

You will never understand Tai Chi, let alone grasp it in your hands and feel it, unless you take Air for Water. Be water my friend, he said, be water. But oh boy is it a game changer, life changer, sens changer when you actually get in touch with such a feeling, it would make you wonder how come we don't live by that knowledge on the very basic of human life and habits, in human interchange and respect. It's just a level so far away from the everyday life that barely anyone takes the time to nurture such a perception in themselves. Despite this knowledge and level of consciousness, anyone can still fall at anytime anyways, so it matters little that you are actually aware of your Chi or not, because even those who knows about it can still fall anyways, it doesn't make them any better than the rest of us, but it does make them more aware. Anyways, great video and good luck allz 'Tai Chi features grace and elegance in stretching..' - Our better selves is a gracious one in all actions and decisions. Grace makes space and gives proper time for things to be, for life to express itself. What are you preparing for your future self ?

Master: Amazing. Michelangelo surpassed DaVinci in marble works. Michael Angelo woud have gone out of the way for BUTTERFLY KICK, EAGLE CLAW, TAICHI pose ( Stretching one leg and sitting on the other leg and extending one arm while the other arm is extended above the head while all the fingers of the hand are grasped as if holding a delicate thing. ).

WU Shu Style seen in this video is more like a Shaolin style , and can't be practiced by anyone over 40 years old, without the potential for serious injuries; tradition Yang style Tai Ji is practice slowly and meditatively, with slow deep breathing (silk reading) with the movements slow, and cultivating muscle tendon stretching (change) within each the movements. Better to learn an old Yang style Tai Chi Chuan like Guang Ping Yang style taught by Y.C. Chiang school in El Cerrito in northern California, (see YT videos ) .

Tai Chia was invented as gentle exercise for the elderly. This is exercise Tai Chi. The principle is inclusive and good enough for self defense. There is a different discipline for Fighting Tai Chi.

[@thesavvyartist]

@@misterhill5598 Tai Chi was not an invention for the elderly. But it requires maturity to appreciate its spirituality and also to practise its discipline. But you find many young people loving it because it harnesses internal "Qi", which can appear to be powerful beyond human ability in combat.

[@misterhill5598]

@@thesavvyartist nah it was invented for both exercise and Fighting. It was used for exercise first and Fighting second. Tai Chi is an excellent type of physio exercise before modern physio is a thing. It was the practical and low impact nature of Tai Chi excercise that lasted through the ages. The fighting branch of Tai Chi did not last as good. Tai Chi is an excellent Fung Fu for beginner and expert level but not intermediate. Intermediate level is where the student would try out other style and school of Kung Fu.
