Peng is the Jin that is full of emptiness

[@edinchiangmai]

Always a great pleasure to see Sifu Liang explain so clearly. And...Great to see his student คุณออมสิน also. It is amazing to see how is body structure has improved over the years with his practice of Taiji. Sifu Liang is a true master. 'One touch and you know'. To all the people who might find it difficult to believe in the skills presented because of so many 'fake' techniques and 'Masters' - I can assure you that Sifu Liang truly has much more skill than he presents. Like the Buddha said, he only taught what the student was prepared to learn. Thanks again for such a clear presentation.

Feel you! Im actually by 50% in the Taiji Academy Online. Its one of the best things im my live that i started! Even i didn't beleved on the internel power when i started. I started just because of the beautifull Taiji style. Bud now can definitely feel that i started something mutch bigger. Master Liang De Hua explane everything very clear and easy to understand even when he talk about things i've never heard before.

Thank you so much for this great teaching Sifu Liang. I got my first pro win in the octagon with this and now my next opponent is too scared to fight me. I have two pro wins now. The committee tried banning me for being too dangerous by saying “you can’t just pull these jokes in the arena. Your opponents had too much pity on you for using that ‘martial art’ to hit me and we will not let our organization be mocked by this.”. I guess it’s underground fighting for me now.

[@martialartspath]

If you have never felt or done this, then it seems fake, but it is very real. Emptiness with structure is difficult to achieve yet it is what creates the "magic". Thanks for sharing as always ♥️

[@blockmasterscott]

Yeah, what a lot of people don't realize is that it's very scientific.

[@littlecannon]

Very true… if you don’t have it, you can’t know. It’s like explaining the colour red to someone who has never seen red. Also nearly everyone splits yin and yang into two separate entities, they have to be combined to let the magic out, simultaneously yin yang.

[@ENNEN420]

Ever heard of “shared paychotic disorder”? Look it up. I hope you aren’t still practicing this sacred art of bullshido.

This is the last mystery in my Tai Chi journey. It's been almost fifty years since I began training, I guess I should be grateful for what Tai Chi Ch'uan has already given me, but there is more. I look forward to the day when everything comes together and my peng becomes a nei gung. I can think of only a half dozen or so teachers who can demonstrate this aspect of Tai Chi Ch'uan, and none of them perfectly articulates what is happening, although to be certain you can see that all of them are sincerely trying to pass onto us some understanding that might facilitate our own growth. That may be something that without personal experience it is difficult to understand and share. We are grateful to you Sifu for all your efforts and your effortlessness. Keep practice.

Excellent explanation. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and with such a joyful attitude!

[@sanchidao]

Good :) No ego and clear explanation :) All the best to you :)

[@SnakeAndTurtleQigong]

Thanks for sharing with the community!

[@atx5359]

Those that practice hard martial arts and only knows about direct muscle forces, when see this, is going to stretch their head until their scalp bleeds and still no clue what just happens. LoL 🤯😅 Thanks for putting yourself out there Master Liang 🙏

[@pitergarza]

Sifu Liang the correct question would be how can we get to that quality of emptyness and peng. I'm shure that its with discipline and perseverance, but specifycally by under what exercices. Best regards. PEDRO FROM ARGENTINA.

[@bernidavis3273]

Thats the way it is. Thank you for sharing.

[@OWR_Mission]

Thanks for the video!

[@hbc511]

It's fun when u have so much power.🎉

[@TheBhannah]

Very awesome technique and skill !

[@giuseppelongo3964]

Thanks Sifu Liang for the explanation, even if its quite difficult to do. I have been studying taichi yang style for 6 years, but I never feel the empty sensation inside my body or other, with most probability muscles contractions are present and hard to relax.

[@giuseppelongo3964]

@@MonacoBlast66 Concentraded breathing is new for me. My sifu has learned us how to breath during the lessons, but never talk of concentraded. The words that he repeats always is "relax, relax: hip, shoulder, wrists... schelethon up and muscles down...

[@littlecannon]

Good stuff… the emptier you get the more Peng you have…

[@viperman2454]

I liked the detail about the partners but must remain the same. Great detail

[@BoCopenhagen]

Beautiful! What do you do inside your body to get into the state of Peng Jin?

[@SoftSkill-b9t]

good question

[@joshpickles9022]

Become skilled at tai ji quan. You become skilled by learning from a teacher who can do the demo you see in the video and then practice hard for 5-7 years.

[@danielidoine766]

The thing is, he tells in the video exactly what you need to do in your body: be empty while maintaining the state. It's easy to say but difficult to achieve. Find an understanding partner who can help you find that state by releasing your physical and mental tensions and develop your ward off power. Good luck!

[@rojcewiczj]

Practically speaking, empty means to take away any pressure from the back/spine so that neither you nor your opponent feel that your back/spine is putting force/effort into the contact. When you have this state of disengagement with the spine, you can engage with any part of your body as long as the back/spine maintains it's state of no effort/force. Hopefully this saves you time.

[@blockmasterscott]

In layman's terms, what is happening is that he has practiced this for so long, that he has learned to relax his body while the other guy is tense, and as a result he can sense the other guy's balance, and manipulate it. Expert grapplers do the same thing. They are totally relaxed while the other guy struggles. That happened to me once. A friend of mine who competed in college wrestling on the State level would just stand still while I tried to take him down, and he would just casually shift his body just like the video here and have me stumbling. Exact same thing.

[@DarkGhostHacker]

Thanks! This was helpful. So much easier to understand this.

[@DarkGhostHacker]

So how did he shift his body? Give more details. How were his legs? Knees bent? If you have links to more info, that would be great.

[@blockmasterscott]

@@DarkGhostHacker There’s really no strict method. You just have to do it for long enough to get a feel for it. It’s like driving a car for a few years. The way you sit in the seat and hold the wheel might be different than someone else driving after you’ve been driving for a long time.

how to empty, what am I suppose to feel

What do you mean with empty ?

[@FeralM0nkey]

@@rojcewiczj Hey John could I message you to discuss this more?

[@rojcewiczj]

@@FeralM0nkey sure!

[@FeralM0nkey]

Yt won't allow me to send you an email unfortunately. Is there a yt link you could refer to that explains this more?

[@rojcewiczj]

@@FeralM0nkey I don't think there are any videos that describe the process in a clear enough way. I'll tell you what I understand though. Essentially, your spine/back is able to support a lot of force if it's well positioned. Tension in your shoulders and hips can prevent you from adjusting to a position where your back can support the opponents force. So first you need to relax, then adjust your spine/back to a strong position/ then you can use your limbs or whatever part of your body to attack/defend from the opponent. if you think: "relax, adjust spine, use force" in the order I think you'll start find success in any techniques. I hope you try it out!

[@Freezeeeee]

Is that emptiness achieved by exhale?

[@ChristianoSts]

​@@rojcewiczjhey bro, where did you get this info about the spine? I'm interested in studying more of that.

[@rojcewiczj]

​@@ChristianoSts Hello! I learned it from training Shaolin Kung Fu in the Wugulun tradition. It's not so much a matter of information as it is about the way you physically practice. You can develop this ability by doing the following things.Move your arms while your spine is moving in balance without interrupting your spines movement or effecting it's balance in any way. What you have to develop is the ability to distinguish between moving your spine/body in balance and the movement of your arms/techniques. With a partner you need to practice keeping the spine in balanced motion as you engage your opponent with your arms/techniques (eventually you can engage with any part of your body). Your arms should only connect your opponent to your spine/body which is in motion/balance, when the opponent is connected to your spine, which is in balanced motion, then they are effected by the spine/bodies state of balance/motion. When your spine loses its balanced movement state then you'll just be pushing/using muscular force in your technique. I think thats the best I can explain it at the moment, I hope you can try it out and get some insight. Thank you!

[@takeo8810]

Sifu Liang, i'm not sure I understand what you mean by empty? could you elaborate a little bit?

[@ottercuttlefish780]

Is there a scientific video demonstrating this some where?

[@perrypelican9476]

You keep saying the same thing over and over. It's always the same. What about telling us how to be able to do what you are doing.

[@Eternaprimavera73]

i think it is impossible to say more clearly. It means only that you have to work on it. The information here is for free. And he says all that is needed. To ask for more, honestly, is impossible.

[@yonahhaddad7133]

I am practicing with a master of Push Hands who has learned from Master Herman Cauz. Honestly you have to feel it to understand it. you can understand something intellectually but the body has to catch up to your understanding. from experience i can say it is very difficult to get to it, and i practice regularly. It always amazes me how something that looks not so complicated can take years to masters if lucky enough to be taught properly.
