Pity this video is not in high definition. But, the movements are clearly and beautifully performed. This is a a very simple and elegant Yang form for beginners to learn. One can even self teach from the video. Thanks!

[@yldagomez5930]

Es. Facinante todo lo que implica el Kung fu al practicarlo específicamente el Tai chi chuan es algo maravilloso lo que le ayuda a uno físicamente mental y espiritual

[@MylaLonelySoul]

Her cross hands and heel kick is amazing in its flexibility and stability..

[@BobMartin1222]

Thanks for the comment. Whether to call something "right" or "left" can be confusing. I have labeled the moves "right" and "left" from from the perspective of the performer (Ms. Gao Jiamin), not from the perspective of the observer, and with reference to the motion that is most significant to the form. Thus, when she is "standing right," she is standing on her right leg; when she is "kicking right" she is kicking with her right leg.

[@Byronchi85]

that woman is TRULY grace incarnet, im absolutly amazed and inspired at the same time, "Sifu jiamin, thank you very much for this lesson. i hope one day to be just as fluid and just as precise in my own practise".

[@yudipitre5720]

I have been watching the video with my granddaughter for over 2 yrs. My granddaughter loves and does it with her all the time. Now she doesn't fall while standing on one leg. Lol We both don't . and definitely getting better . She doesn't want to do it with anyone else.

[@dianamagnuson1706]

Wonderful that it's a shorter form. Can be taught and students can watch on You Tube for refreshers

[@khalekoa]

I paid a visit to the "US Wushu Center" in Portland, OR last year and she is still the lead Taijiquan instructor there. She has two children now and spends every minute she can with them. Incredible skills!

[@Angela-yf3wt]

What is her name, please.🙏🏻

[@rpullman]

Thanks. I just started to learn this form from a different video. This helps. I began tai chi a year ago, doing an even shorter form (open,grasp the bird's tail, single whip,close) every day since. Now I am ready to expand into new moves.

[@daleappaul282]

Very good. Recently, i have learnt all the steps. Still like to watch her doing it.

[@strokex1]

amazing. she is great. I do taoist tai chi just down the road and see similar steps. She is just amazing. Her kicks were perfect.

[@MyFauxFoe]

Thanks so much for posting this! It's really helpful to have a reference to be sure I'm practicing the forms correctly outside of class.

[@helloaliice]

Wonderful tai chi

[@jdaywork2693]

She's good. Strong and flexible. She really spreads out the movements. I can't get my heel kick that high. Trying to do some stretching so I eventually can. Thanks for posting.

[@natureboystyle77]

i thank you so much i love kung fu and tai chi this has been a big help to me.

[@margaretmiz]

Nice adaptation of the original video to help beginners like me learn the forms. Thanks!

[@aeortiz2004]

@BrunoSilva1993 Of course, look who she is: "Gao Jiamin has competed and won total of 32 gold medals, a record that has never been achieved by any other competitor. Her gold medals include gold medals at the Asian Games, Eastern Asia Games, the International Wushu Championship plus many national and international meets."

[@debiwarner7243]

Great form!

[@cleopatra862]

Nice..

[@songpidgeon]

ever lovely =)

[@cupcakekitty7574]

My class is doing this in e assembly for Chinese New Year, but, we are TOTALLY NOT as graceful as her. I'm one of the students in the front row, and I'm in the middle, too. My whole class can't kick as high as her, so we just lift our foot for a while, then put it down. Our supplied teacher watched us once, but she didn't realize the fake kick. So I suppose we'll be alright.😋

[@kevinkuok9131]

Don't worry about high heel kicks. These are professional athletes/wushu teachers. They train from very young when they are flexible and do a lot of stretching. So, just kick from Low to Mid-section, that will be good enough. Don't be discouraged because you can't kick as high as the teacher/Ms Gao. Keep practising.

[@memecedar6226]

Wonderfull

[@Aurelius27x]

@BobMartin1222 Yeah, I knew it... I want to go train with her. :D I love oregon. Her husband teaches wushu I think too.

[@KathleenQi]

I have looked for a way to find a DVD of this tai chi 10 form that you have posted without any luck. Is there one out there and where can I find it ? thank you.... very very well done.... love to watch her.

[@chingkenneth1017]

Truly good forn

[@BobMartin1222]

I don't know about DVDs. I would think this video, together with the books credited at the end of the video, would teach you about as well as you can be taught without a teacher.

[@AngelusLabyrinth]

I wish I'd become as gentle as her ... :)

[@kevinkuok9131]

She is very elegant. Though this video is quite old and not in high definition, I like her performance. You can with constant practice. As they say, practice makes perfect. The Japanese have a concept: KAIZEN. Every day you get better with practice.

[@david1234lee]

This is taichi!

[@AristarcoCortes]

Could you title in the 24 form? they are very useful for beginners like me. Thanks! Great performer. She is inspirational.

[@fredericobarba1]

Mrs Robert, do you have taijiquan.de with chineses pronunciation?? Good bless you

[@jonmanilenio]

do you have a video of the 16 forms with subtitles? i would love to see that. thanks for this!

[@kevinkuok9131]

The 16 Form is somewhere out there on KZbin. Performed by her as well.

[@ralphdehner9988]

[@NancyGarciaMartinez]

eres un espurio sin maestro no hay transmición de lo bello de este arte solo seria una copia barata sin basícos, q bien se ve q no sabes nada

[@antarshakti3093]

Marvelous. I am practicing 8 form Taichi regularly since last 6:months. I would like to know that is 8 from Taichi as fine as 24 forms or as equally effective as 24 forms as far as health and combat benefits are concerned ?

[@katrinabrill3888]

Always moving toward a longer form is better! And the longer forms have new moves and ways of creating fluidity and suppleness of muscles.

[@JE-western-rider]

ten form is excellent if your exercise space is limited or you are short on time. As it employs the principles and has the Grasp the Sparrows Tail form, it is worth doing. You will find learning the 24 form more of a challenge and well worth the effort.

[@ytpkh027]

This particular Tai Chi form is for those working for the first 'dan' in China's martial arts classification. It differs from the other more advanced forms in that you need a space of not more than six feet to perform it, starting and ending at the same spot. Ignore the English translation of the names for the movements. They are confusing to non-Chinese.

[@frank992001]

What about the other forms

[@ThinkingDeepThoughts]

i love that saying.... "what's her face?" lol What is her face?

[@TheBilayer]

I try to follow but I dont seem to get the flow like her.

See the description under the video--you may need to expand it. It gives the title of the music and links to where you can buy it.

[@Aurelius27x]

Isn't this whatsherface... the lady who's won more tai chi competitions than anyone in history?

[@OccasionalHaHa]

10 form? 24 is already Basic, why make it even smaller?

[@lailanityler2380]

The Occasional HaHa Because sometimes people just need to start with little bits and work their way up? Perhaps on occasion they simply don’t have time to devote to the entire 24 form? Instead opting for a little “bite-sized” one to get their practice in for the day? There are a couple different reasons.

[@senhueichen3062]

This is not tai chi. It is modern abstract Chinese ballet.
