This is a short section of Chen Style tai chi application extracted from a live show to demonstrate how Chen Style Tai Chi works in a real situation by Master Liming Yue and Sifu Aamir Rafi. Which covers the soft against hard, slow aganst fast and gettle against tough... This video clip is part of videos produced by Master Liming Yue from Tai Chi Centre UK

This is some of the most impressive stuff I've ever seen. Once I finish learning 108 Yang style, I definitely want to learn Chen.

[@vernondunbar5846]

I think some look for others to get hurt instead of just appreciating an amazing presentation.

[@rivertothesea]

I think it shows well Master Liming's control and humour and embodiment of taichi principles, and Sifu Aamir's ability to roll and break-fall!

[@TheSilverSurfisher]

If some sort of unpredictable sporadic combinations were done with more intensity and full speed (followed by the slow-mo redo), we could witness the full benefit of this martial science...one of few that is trustworthy and legitimate.

[@satheeshkumar6865]

Awesome. Well presented

[@henrylazaga]

Great vid! Very useful. Thanks for sharing. My only comment is at 1:17. Don't think it will work against a grappler since they don't easily let go of their grasp with just a simple push like that. Other than that it's a good demo.

[@PunkRockNerd10171]

💥 SMOKE! Ninja Vanish! Lol. Seriously though, some good Chen style Taiji counter grappling moves here

[@lkj098lkj]

Good demo

[@magicbymccauley]

Great stuff. Especially like the counter to hip throw.

[@shujiling213]

Very useful

[@Bob13Blues]

The student is a very good sport.

[@KirtapNoskid]

Yes, Chen and Yang style as well as Qinna since 70's.

[@truthserum9456]

Just great but you should show the part of the form it's from. Just saying

[@VulcanOnWheels]

2:03 Does the framerate drop at this point, or is that just me?

[@onedirection3510]

Good stuff! Is it recommended to study Yang before beginning Chen style? Is Yang also a martial or fighting or self defense taiji? It’s very difficult to find an authentic Chen taiji instructor.

[@kevintaichi9532]

Yang tai chi old style (yang luchan) is very good for self defense.

[@XyZ-de8be]

@@kevintaichi9532 yes.. check adam mizner

[@ShifuSam]

have you ever practiced tai chi?

[@panpiper]

Gotta love Chen.

[@DancingStringsGuitar]

Good techniques yet poor camera work, cannot see what the defending guy is doing, so really frustrating when you hide half of the work. Also, get more control of the smoke machine. It is not necessary to have the mystical smoke for this. I really wish I could have seen the complete working of the techniques because the movements looked good--as much as I could see.

[@Siberianhusky89]

Don't worry, I will focus on Yang for a long time. I just hope that one day, I can do Chen style.

[@KirtapNoskid]

Smooth looking techniques. However, if you look closely, when the assailant puts the teacher's arm behind his back to twist it, he doesn't even have a full grip on the arm, his fingers don't even go around the wrist. Not very realistic. During one of the flips the student only has to let go of the teacher's hand and the technique won't work. It was a nice demo, but lacked realism. The assailant was not using any strength and not letting go when necessary. However, the techniques do work..

[@truthserum9456]

Nitpickicker, why don't you make a video

[@TheSilverSurfisher]

@@truthserum9456 actually I'd like to see you make one...I'll humbly and gladly assist either of you...would be ....an honor.

[@truthserum9456]

@@TheSilverSurfisher huh? Was that English?

[@derposi]

1:00 this movement is also included in the 5 elements form of wudang :)

[@charyi]

WOW~~好巧妙

[@pitsanufangkaew]

camera man , what are you doing ? Why you stand behind the black one ? So low quality.

[@taichiyue]

you will understand why we do not use fingers one day and it is more skillful than you can see.

[@Siberianhusky89]

At 2:03 to 2:12, the video lags considerably.

[@TieXiongJi]

MORE SMOKE!

[@ShifuSam]

focus on principals not styles

[@mamadoudupont-aignan1786]

Only demonstration

[@XyZ-de8be]

looks like aikido. The oponment is flying before there is an actual move :D haha

[@heartbrave9171]

Demo

[@lovefrompraha]

You know, these look like pretty effective techniques. But the way his partner presented the attacks were kind of trash. Haymakers, badly laid in rear naked chokes, weak takedown attempts.
