He seems so graceful and stable, meanwhile I'm randomly waving my hands and trying to not fall on the floor. Still like it though

[@wordcraft_voyager]

Me too😂 I hope this is going to be difficult at first and then with practice we can master it

[@yuliahenegar9399]

I am practicing for 4 years. And I find your instructions very useful, to the point. It is a pleasure to learn from you. Recently learned 42 sword and practicing now. Thank you very much!

[@thecelticgiraffe]

Peter is so smooth, almost like a slow-motion movie! Even this 24 Form movement takes a TON of practice daily to remember it all.

[@avatarroku7955]

You're moving so slow but I can't still follow. I just started learning Tai Chi and I will not stop until I'm better with it. I am so thankful for your videos

[@NO-kc4xb]

My advice would to learn the moves he’s teaching you in this vid separately first. There’s a pretty good Tai Chi teacher named Zak Song that teaches them separately. This guy combines them, which is ok, but not really for beginners imo. I’m trying to learn them combined now that I know them separately.

[@avatarroku7955]

@@NO-kc4xb thank you. I'll try that.

[@cnguyendo2000]

Master Chen gave a very detail and clearly instructions on the Tai chi 24 forms from breathing to movement which helping me a lot. I am highly recommended.

[@dwlonewolf2273]

This dude is clearly speaking at the same tempo as his forms, so relaxed. Sometimes slow, and sometimes fast.

[@ethelbennie6827]

Thank you for explaining very well the Tai Chi moves. This is the first time trying to learn how to do Tai Chi. Thank you.

[@ginafriedman4544]

He is the best Tai Chi instructor I've found on KZbin!

[@Wuthuhn]

Thank you so much for teaching me . I startet Tai- Chi 3 Weeks ago with this video . Since we‘re in a #lockdown for month now, I got no other way to learn it than by video & books. So thank you for being my very patient teacher who spends time with me every day ☺️🙏🏽

[@missdaisysunshine8633]

Thank you! I am using multiple tai chi resources, but none of them connect to the martial art like you demonstrate So helpful! Thank you!

[@sharonguadagno9314]

I have tried many utube videos for beginner Tai Chi. I am an advaned beginner based on series of classes several years ago. This is the best one for completeness, explaining some of the meaning behind the practice and his beautiful slow movements which will give beginners a practice routine which is both fun and helpful for expanding ability to practice the form.

[@kristidyer6760]

Thank you so much Master Chen. Excellent explanation of the forms and breathing. I appreciate your wisdome

[@libratiger4]

[@sandrakreuzer797]

Very helpful! I am practising Tai Chi for years now by visiting a course. But your explanations and step by step instructions help me very much to start doing it on my own at home or in the park. Thank you!

[@tea7030]

I am glad I kept searching for tai chi 24 because this video popped up. I had been practicing the 24 form but I had no idea about specific moves. This video really relaxed my mind and body.

[@raymondchan273]

Merry Christmas, Sifu Peter Chen. Thank you for your video. I am 73 yrs old and first studied Tai Chi 24 in the 1970s from my Grandmaster Wong Jack Man in Oakland, CA. I am taking your course as a refresher course aside from northern Shao-lin, Hsing-i, and Wing Chun.

[@MEMANGELSISTERhere]

Hi! I do like your explanations. I ma practicing now via youtube, and yours is one of the best that I've found. Keep on posting. Thanks!

[@thanhthienluong1562]

Very good instructions, breaths and posters at the same time

[@sandrakreuzer746]

Very good explanations. I could follow everything and it makes it possible for me to practice Tai Chi at home alone which was my goal, thank you for this video, it helps me much!

Ok, you make it look so graceful. I am so Dyslexic I keep stepping the wrong way. Yays. I learned the first two positions. Thank you. I have Multiple Sclerosis and need to regain balance and strength. But your slow pace was easy enough to understand.

[@priyabomula4609]

[@krisfisher5404]

Once you get it 😄 much appreciation !

[@PabloskyS84]

+Peter Chen This video is great!! Is hard to find information about the forms with instructions, applications and especially about the breaths Thanks for this! I'm hoping you make videos about the rest of the 24 form

[@panedole]

This is glorious, I have been researching "learning powerful methods to build your Chi energy" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Fellmeroni Rudimentary Chi - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my neighbour got great results with it.

[@teresamontiel9981]

Je voudrais bien la suite car les mouvements sont très bien expliqués. Mercie.

[@Sunrisesunset999]

Excellent 👍🌞👍

[@ed-roberts]

Is there anywhere I can see a demonstration of these forms that are presented by "mirroring" where Peter performs the movements and we can follow along by looking at the screen? In these demonstrations you can't follow along because everything is with the opposite arm/foot etc. So in order to perform the first movement where Peter moves his left foot - if I move my left foot it's actually reverse of what I'm seeing. I hope this makes sense. Thanks

[@user-yn6uy4lq3t]

Maybe you can search and watch my back view videos?

[@chinjukuttan8453]

👌

[@PatroneBambino]

Try doing videos with your back turned so it will be easier to follow you. Great work.

[@taichiqu]

what do you mean when you explain ‘twist step’ at 6:16? I can’t see any twisting action. and how do you strum the lute at form 5? it seems like you hold a lute. so ‘holding the lute’ is more correct expression for form 5? or ‘struming’ action is omitted?

[@PeterChenTaiChiLife]

Thanks for your message and suggetions. It's actually a bow step. But because we take a left step and push with the right arm so it look like a twist movement. 'Brush Knee and Twist step' is literally translated from the original Chinese name of this Form '搂膝拗步‘. Your suggestion of 'holding the lute' does make sense because there is no strumming action. My translation comes literally from the original Chinese name of this Form '手挥琵琶‘. By the way, those Chinese Taichi names sometimes exert beautiful artistic imagination but don't exactly match the movements.

[@taichiqu]

Thank you for your answer. Back to the 2nd question, as Tai Chi originated from martial art, all the form consist of defending motion followed by attacking motion. Wild Horse (Form 2), White Crane (Form3), Brush Knee Twisting Step (Form4) and even the first form Commencing.. all the form do that. But only at the Form 5, I cannot see the attacking motion. Just defending motion is seen (as if holding the lute). Almost all the other practitioners of Yang Style (usually from China) on the You Tube are doing the same way as you do. So I believe a key motion is omitted here while they introduced the simple Tai Chi 24 Form in 1960s China. The ancestors certainly did not use the word 手挥 for simple beautiful imagination. The fact that ' a lute' was used in describing the motion is a beautiful metaphor already. Would you mind finding the answer? If my suggestion feels unpleasant, you can just neglect it. I hope your eternal improvement.

[@PeterChenTaiChiLife]

Dear Dennis, Hands Strum the Lute is actually an attacking motion to break or injury opponent arm in the original martial arts. Please take another look at my explanation in this video for it's defending and attacking meanings. By the way, some forms can be only for attacking or for defending. Best regards, Peter @@taichiqu

[@joelirag3718]

Apologies tai chi practitioners...but the defense & attack motions were debunked by mma fighters. Bruce Lee was the first to say that flowery movements are useless in combat. Tai Chi in my opinion is more for energizing the body. Not for combat.
