Much to do about nothing

Great video. There is a reason for the simple structure … no flowery stuff . Thanks Adam for sharing.

[@the1nonlytrolls318]

Adam is too powerful. He's the reason the dinosaurs went extinct

[@KellyWhelanEnns]

He’s got good structure and structural sensitivity.

I saw Roll Back and Press... good stuff!!

Thanks for sharing. 🙂🙏🏼👊🏼

Thanks for the solid instruction

[@alexanderkeinashvili3576]

That Australian joke was great. Either you have freedom or not.

[@stevewrightmusic7512]

Awesome transition from Roll Back, to An! After years of practice, I still do not consistently understand AN, unless the opponent is leaning, and I follow. *Is that what is happening? In other words, I use sink and pluck, doesn’t seem like that’s happening-here! *Awesome-and Effortless!!

[@DiscoverTaiji]

no, An can be applied at any time

[@stevewrightmusic7512]

@@DiscoverTaijiThank you for your reply. Reverting back to a quote-of yours (paraphrasing) the teachers’ definitions are the most important: It’s hard to define via, the chat. 😌. I may be more intuitive in my understanding. Question: In your system can Peng be applied in any direction? Or are you separating (following the classics) into the 8 principles. *Not a challenge-btw. I seem to only understand Peng, and/or Shoulder/Hip Cao. Rollback as Inward/Divert Pluck, etc. where An-doesn’t really show up, or maybe I’m not defining, what’s happening correctly!? The affect to me-(again intuitively) it’s all one thing. I’m just calling it Peng. Again: Maybe that makes no sense in your system? Thanks-in any case, as I share your videos with my students!! Constantly, giving credit, and also asking my students to go beyond me-towards more skilled people, anytime they’d like. 😌 Thank you!

[@DiscoverTaiji]

@@stevewrightmusic7512 Peng is fullness that your opponent floats upon.

[@TempleToursRedwood]

You can only do that if you have internal qi-qong

[@timwhitworth71]

yeah, but you can also get internal qi-gong by practicing tai chi

[@Jusvidz]

@@timwhitworth71 you can only practice tai chi and attain internal qi-qong if you rip a fat bong

[@blackshadowrun]

It is clear that the master shows good mastery of the subject, but it would be interesting to see how his students demonstrate the same

[@tonivaara7095]

There's plenty of his students also in this channel who demonstrate the same, not as skillfully as Adam but any case. :)

[@lanceanderson2079]

Good advice 👌

[@Matmzl]

Top notch skill on ‘display’! Invisible though since it happens inside the body.

[@littlecannon]

I find a lot of superfluous movement is down to not defining the balanced circle. Both sides end up flapping about randomly. I’ve been trying to eradicate this behaviour from my training partner. I found that when neutralise and issue became balanced, I.e. turns on a dot, one creates the other, my movement became more direct, no bobbing about, waving arms, backing off…. It’s almost like you become a gyroscope inside and gyroscopes on gyroscopes.

[@SifuPonce]

I wonder how many people that are commenting actually understand what he was talking about in this video. I am a Wing Chun practitioner working on the internal side of martial arts who enjoys watching Adam explain his understanding of internal tai-chi, but I always wonder how many people understand his explanations. Of course, for me the big take away was the word openness; internal opennes.

[@tonypringles2285]

bro it is all fake. most martial arts are garbage. didn't you ever watch that guy snow melon or whatever that regularly beats up martial arts "masters" because martial arts is garbage

[@drifttoofar3894]

bro i dont feel like rereading all that but do you think this is real?

[@drolo7]

Lo que hay reconocer es la verdadera naturaleza de la conciencia innata no personal.(Dzogchen ) es la vía directa a eso reconocimiento.

[@SifuPonce]

@@drifttoofar3894 it's real. The ability to allow your physical being to do what it was naturally supposed to be able to do. My experience, It's like you are connected to the person and can read his being, and control him through the point of contact. I've only experienced this a few times myself. I can't explain it, that's why I enjoy watching Adam explain it.

[@shalom-shalom]

Fighting should be simple, you have little time to react, and you need to finish with one or two punches or movements. It's not like in the movies, or ufc. I would like to see adam against realistic punches, like in a street fight.

[@clacicle]

You’ll never see that. What he does, he does very well and I do believe he has very good skills. Skills that most people doing Taiji today don’t have. But he’ll never do it against a non cooperative opponent because the risks are too great. He mocked others and suggested trying that against a jab. Notice how he himself didn’t try what he demonstrated against a real jab. Business is good for him. He’s making a lot of money and he’d like to keep it that way.

[@shalom-shalom]

@@clacicle lol i think you exaggerating a bit, he could do a demonstration against real punches, using his unique skills against haymaker, jab cross. Tai chi is not only push hands.

[@WSLwcdragon]

He's demonstrating a skill, not a fighting technique. Of course it won't look as nice in a real fight but he has the ability to deal with force.

[@skywalktriceiam]

@@clacicle I thought he was making a joke💉😂✌🏼💜

[@clacicle]

@@skywalktriceiam Yes, I suspect he was joking. But, he was making fun of how many people do “push hands” and I agree with him. Nevertheles, it’s important to put your money where your mouth is when you start talking about others not being able to pull off their techniques or skills against a more serious attack.

[@tsaxondale2499]

Funny how you add all that wiggly hand stuff into some of your forms, though. No doubt that's for "higher purposes" lol

[@DiscoverTaiji]

I don't "add", it is not wiggly and it is a specific training in certain forms, not for application. But hey, ignorance is bliss.....

[@tsaxondale2499]

@@DiscoverTaiji well of course, you were bound to say that. It's fine, I get it, your forms need to look interesting and "dangerous" for your demographic. And as long as you stick within that demographic I'm sure you will be fine.
