Staying Calm - Teaching moments with Sifu Adam Mizner

[@henryliu8269]

I like this guy, his taiji is very very good even in China. by the way, I am chinese and I do taiji for long time and I know how difficult to reach his level. Great man

[@dayman161172]

Chinese have the least knowledge of kungfu or they are just to ignorant to admit that taiji is dead long time ago. The real art wasnt given to the next generation.

[@thierryguth2567]

One of his greatest teachings - So clear and accurate Lots of thanks

[@smithr2k9]

Happy New year Sifu Mizner and much successes/blessings. Many thanks for invaluable lesson on "aiming for complete calmness...nervous system living outside of the 'flight or fight' mode." We hope to see you in New York City this year, please keep us posted on date/time. Stay Awesome and all the Best💞

[@MrGarycoww]

I agree totally with being calm in the eye of the storm,incredibly hard but amazingly effective and freeing when achieved. 👍

Someone caught my attention in the people around and I thought “is it really him”! But then was mostly focussed on what Adam was saying and doing. There is so much to learn from him!

Thank you for your generosity in posting this. A lesson for life as well as in our Tai Chi practice.

If I could give this two thumbs up I would

[@MarkMelchior]

This is a classic teaching. I like how he shows the practical understanding of what this mind vs nervous system relationship is. I've found that you do have to calm the mind first to find understanding.

[@lenwenzel7440]

Brilliant, my instinct is to become calm in stressful situations, this clarification sheds light on the process. Thank you.

[@ilyaolshanetskiy7421]

laconic and very clear explanation of both the goal and a state of mind to be cultivated during push/sticky hands workouts. nervous system does not lie indeed!

[@Extreme-Music-Escape]

@@inspiringothers7197 no I won't. I don't believe in the Easter bunny now, and I won't in the Future. The issue I have is that you class this garbage as a martial art and self defence. In honestly, if you tried to manipulate my Chi. I'm gonna manipulate your jaw, nose eyes, maybe a front kick to the sternum. None of this Chi shit would stop me. Your allowing a danger. Your falsely misleading with this garbage, some one could stupidly believe Adam's hot steaming horse piss, and try use it to defend themselves. Resulting being physically hurt, or worse as Adam is breeding stupidity.

[@8888chlai]

If anyone wants to figure what Taijiquan as a martial art is all about, well, look no further, this is it. This is where the rubber meets the road. Sifu Adam puts it so tangibly & practically w/o all the mysticism & double-speak. For the most part, I think most teachers don't even quite understand it themselves. But to most who are already conditioned in other martial arts, they'll be skeptical & find it puzzling.

[@rigelberlingeri]

This is not working in a real fight

[@lonepineronin]

i believe that there is something to the concept of internal power, and using relaxation to absorb and redirect forces. unfortunately, adam mizner is really just a scam artist. every single person that he works with here simply complies with his verbal instructions. not one of them actually responds independently. they all magically lose their structure and crumple or fly away.

[@bernidavis3273]

Hi, I strongly disagree with you. I have never met Adam, but I can tell you now he is speaking the truth. Its difficult to understand until you have experienced/felt the "state" of which he speaks.

[@FFTuk]

Berni Davis speaking the ‘truth.’ This is 90% bs mixed in with a little ‘truth.’ Yes look inward to find your mistakes so that you can clearly see the mistakes others make. True but hardly revolutionary. But I have been in martial arts since the age of 12; youngest Wing Chun instructor level in the UK at the time, Chi Gung, boxing, Muay Thai and BJJ and an arm drag that he shows would work zero times against a non compliant partner. If he really can slow external time by being so hyper aware of the internal or whatever bs he is talking then please get a judge to stand on an athletics track with arm raised, and when he drops his arm; beat Usain Bolt over even 10m. Bet it won’t happen. Take a Judo Olympian to the floor I will bet a 1000 bucks they beat you to it. It’s 2020, let’s stop being so dumb

[@FFTuk]

While I’m here I will say I have nothing against Tai Chi as moving meditation, but this guy does not have spider sense and would get sparked out cold by anyone with real martial arts experience. Just saying

[@timbushnell8964]

@@FFTuk time is flexible in the mind. None that f the arts you specified you have trained have anything to do with taiji so until you have the experience to speak on the art your opinion is groundless and just that. An opinion.

[@FFTuk]

tim bushnell where is your proof that time is ‘flexible in the mind.’ So you daydream whilst driving and a minute feels like an hour, does that mean that the traffic light never turned green and people aren’t beeping you from behind? No the world moved on and you were stuck in a fantasy. Which is quite sad really. All I asked was PROVE IT. My opinion is that I am a wizard and I don’t have to slow time because I can bend space and punch you through your laptop. You wouldn’t understand because you don’t study wizard arts. My offer stands PROVE IT. I will give you the address of your nearest local reputable BJJ school and you can go down there and work your magic. When you come back after being mounted and politely slapped around the face because they felt too sorry for punching you, come back and say ‘man, maybe I should learn something useful even art or knitting as at least it produces something real’.

over-complicated to the point of being useless

[@Polentaccio]

Utter garbage. Taking what is contact and actually useful from the art and locking on to this shit with compliant partners. News flash, you aren't going to be calm when you get jumped suddenly by two guys. Spoiler alert, you will not be able to count on this when someone takes you down.

[@liamporter6243]

Not bad. He is a bit of a wuss and all, but I have learned something. I have bastardized all kung fu and jumbled them together. I like Wing Chun mixed with Tai Chi for circular movement and flow, with a bit of Tai Kwan Do for the kicks that are missing in Wing Chun. I just had a heart attack the other day (ex wife) and now am suddenly forced to consider what life without going to the gym and training might look like. Will my perfect definition and wonderful body fade away? Is that it for me? No more spinning kicks? I am only 38. I would pass for 18. I felt relaxed watching this video. At least Tai Chi and Chi Gong are still there for me. Please God. Let me recover from this. I don't want to be using a walker to walk a couple hundred meters to the shop. Like I needed any more problems to make my life miserable... Sigh.
