Shaolin Taichi Performance

2017 International Wushu Sports Festival in Markham, Ontario Canada

[@maruzande]

I watched it without sound, much better, I saw and felt another performance! perfection of energy in motion. Thank you

[@johnbarnett6924]

I met Grandmaster Joe Bang Lee ,and this Sifu has learned to Master His Power, Chi. I WAS MUCH IMPRESSED. John. Thank You Sifu

[@tad2936]

Wow - as I move to the music, I can feel the energy. It's so very beautiful...and calming!

[@lynnferr1933]

I understand nothing when it comes to this art, but I know what I like when I see it. Beautiful...

[@yymjyyobjka1302]

Buddhism is to teach you to understand things as nothing ! Now you understand it.

[@Void_Astrea]

The thing I love about shaolin is everything is so explosive yet graceful. So much power held in elegance.

[@mikeneidlinger8857]

I've been practicing Silat and Escrima since 1993 and Taiji, Bagua and Xingyi since 2008. I like practicing slow twisting and circling steps with blades. It nourishes my brain and I circulate my chi to stay healthy and massage my internal organs to stay soft and limber. The first thing I would teach someone is how to relax and root and circulate Qi. After relaxing, someone can learn basic Gong Fu!

[@ToOvOxo]

Tai Chi is the ultimate (muscle) essence of the Universe. Tai chi chuan is the martial art system of application of that same energy. LI kong jin is to practice the intuition of releasing muscle restriction and let chi flow through inner emptiness ( kong jin). Fa Jin is the release of the free flow (force). That is Tai Chi chuan and that is what Master is doing in this art form. Does not matter what style you use if you apply the principles. I can watch it over and over again and learn something, thanks for the post!

[@R00RAL]

Quite well explained & I think hard to understand unless your enlightened, which is why you see so many asking how can this Art work.

[@spiritakarabbit369]

Agreed. Very good.

[@billyferguson6455]

Thats Correct..When One Transforms into the Tai Ji Animal One Becomes Tai Ji Like the Masters More than Hint at...Once this Yin & Yang Balance Manifests itself the Magic of the Eight Gates is Revealed with the 5 Elements of Push Hands....Then the Practitioner Can Do What he Wants with the Art...Its Formless & Authentic Tai Ji Chuan..

[@ComicusFreemanius]

[@hanchanginglives]

Looking through the comments the these foreigners think that Shaolin Taichi is the same as traditional Taichi performance, and they also think that this is Kungfu, and they keep thinking that learning Kungfu is for fights…………. Thats why I strongly suggested them to travel and learn just a little bit about cultures about any other countries, judge with prejudices will be creating very bad imagines for your countries, and your ignorance.

[@icch100]

I agree with that opinion. Practicality can be done by one's own hands-on and thoughtful consideration, and I don't think it's much different from a small child to be spoiled if others don't present what he or she is looking for.

[@LloydHarding08]

It is kung fu tho

[@1ばかぶた]

Yeah, shaolin's taichi is different from taichiquan, but you are mistaking it. wudang taichiquan is originated from shaolin's taichi, not the other way around This taichi technique isnt a whole martial art to be used for fighting. it is just suplemental technique to be used with shaolin kung fus like nanquan, tiger fist, crane fists, monkey fist, and many other fists

Some of you are too focused on the division between the different practices instead of how you can help each other learn. this world can be very fun with martial-arts everywhere with crazy fun Adventures if only you as a individual decide to learn and share what you learn because it doesn't matter how much you know what matters is what value you bring to the world, and how you help others. Thats it. It's not about certificates or rankings. Share what you know with the world and witness first hand the amazing changes and elevation of humanity

[@estatejules1950]

My goodness! So handsome and beautiful Shaolin movements. Great power!

[@dapidminiAiki]

so many people here says this is not Taiji just because he didn't do it "their way".. this is a splendid performance in it's own way IMO. anyway, I've always thought Taiji is very old and has been developed and modified by many old masters depending on different body structures, conditions, and needs.. I believe the true "Original Taiji" no longer exists.

[@donnchadhmcginley3153]

There is a saying that Shaolin don't know real taijiquan because they practice external movement too much

[@joshpickles9022]

That is because most people don't know anything about tai chi lol. This monk is doing tai chi movements but not adhering to the principles that make tai chi work.

[@tockok]

true original taichi still exists. it is taught by Grandmaster Tsu in London. Its called doing nothing. See video clip in mastertsu.com titled stillness in motion. Grandmaster Tsu only teaches selected dedicated students.

Actually Chinese legend stated that, Tai chi was created by an ex-shaolin student. This young monk loved Kung Fu and was very talented as well but for some particular reasons they would not teach him and assigned him to a monk (who is his sifu/teacher) and not allowing sifu to teach this young monk neither. His sifu instead deliberately chanting the technique of the art during his meditation and he learned from by repeating silently and meditated along with his teacher/sifu. The young monk also violated one of the very strick rule of Shaolin by peaking at other practice and copy their moments without them noticed and without permission. So the young monk applied the chanting with the techniques he copied and self trained himself. During one of the challenge by outsider, some Shaolin monks lost to the outsider and the outsider insulted the Temple. The young monk couldn't control his anger toward the insults by this outsider so he jumped in to defend the Temple face and name. He defeated it the outsider but revealed to the Temple his Kung Fu. Instead of being grateful for his saving, they turned around and persecute him for stealing instead. During this time where was a girl, who was a traveler and she was granted a to stay a night to rest. She saw the unfairness and spoke up. Her interfering caused injuries to some of the monks and she was going to be punished as well. They both where being surrounded and going to be punished but the young monk's sifu/teacher jumped in saved them and they ran away from Shaolin. His sifu/teacher died due to sustaining heavy injuries while saving them. The young monk went on and created what called Wudang. The girl was in love with him but he refused her and she was upset with him so she went and create her own clan (I forgot what it called) but their rules to never involve with men or die. So very late in his life he developed Taiji and then passing it down to generations there after. Of course Shaolin never accepted him but always try to claim what he creation were stolen from them. Wudang became a very big and powerful in comparison to Shaolin and their specialties are sword and fancy foot works. So technically, Taiji was created by a Wudang master who was a (exiled) Shaolin disciple.

Chen style tai chi . Chen style looks more powerful than yang and lots of stomping with the foot . Tai chi and Wudang , bagua are internal Kung fu . Shaolin Is external kung fu . But ultimately both Kung fu tends to meet into the same point . Internal Kung fu u practice soft , round , breathing , conscious movement then you can fight may take 30 yrs to reach that. External Kung fu you train hard to be as hard as steel and iron for combat but particularly in shaolin ur meditating too just like Wudang and tai chi and eventually acquire chi . Both school involve meditation and chi cultivation . All the external Kung fu stem from shaolin but the meditation and chi cultivation got stripped away over time . Without understanding of chi just doing martial arts may lead to injury overtime . With solely meditation will weaken the body overtime . When the Buddhist /Taoist monks were trying to seek enlightenment their body was weakened they starved themselves seeking the truth and Damo the Indian boddhidarma noticed it and taught them hatha yoga , breathing and some movements to strengthen their body . Damo was strong looking as per the historical records . Soon Observing animal movement were incorporated in fighting . It was a slow process before shaolin Kung fu was truly established . As per Wudang it was again a monk Cheung Sam fung who was searching for enlightenment he also learned the teaching of Da Mo that was passed on to his era . One time he saw a fight between a bird and a snake and was fascinated that snake used the least of energy to escape from the bird’s beak while the bird soon got tired and flew away . He learned that one should create energy instead of wasting energy . How to recycle the energy again. So with that and Daoist philosophy Wudang was then established . Tai chi stems from Wudang . Tai chi Chen was practiced in Chen village . Then someone wang ...( forgot the full name) came tot he village softened Chen tai chi and yang tai chi was established , Wu later on and then sun ... anyhow external Kung fu is shaolin then développed to white crane hung har wing Chun spread to karaté in Japan . Just to say that everything is all related and meet at the same point . People who do external Kung fu at advanced level will realize that they r missing elements from internal Kung fu and vice versa .

内家拳三大拳种，太极，形意，八卦，没有武当什么事，那是武侠小说说的，不是真的。也没有什么天下武功出少林，这也是武侠小说说的。真正的武术就是源于民间，军伍。太极是陈王廷所创，形意拳源于心意六合拳，据说是姬际可所创，又说是岳飞所创，八卦掌是董海川所创。跟武当没有半毛钱关系。螳螂拳，谭腿等等都有创始人，没少林什么事，只不过后来有些假托少林的名而已。通背拳早在汉代就有流传，那时候少林寺还是荒山野岭吧。

Shaolin and Taiji are two vastly different styles (hint: Shaolin is External, Taiji is Internal). This is the Chen style's Cannon Fist (aka 2nd form). Good performance. If he's able to fight as well as he does forms he will be a good masster one day.

[@minigirl]

He is much of a master than you are

[@SephirothSyrraeoth]

I hate to seem critical, because as a performance he did very well. His routine was pleasant to watch as such and I believe shouldn't be taken for being what it wasn't. Such as an instructive video on the form, which wasn't the purpose. But for accuracy I believe I must point out that, even though he has embellished it with his own flavour, this is Chen style Taiji. Shaolin to my knowledge doesn't truly have a "Taiji" form, though I have seen various Shaolin forms that are practiced in similar ways. So this video should be more rightly titled, "Shaolin Monk Presents Taiji Routine".

[@chrisrushlau]

Maybe if you asked him, he'd say he didn't put a title on it, he was just doing some moves. I would tend to accept that he is some kind of monk, for he seems very composed. And his moves retain a lot of martial-art form and energy, like he's ready for a fight.
