Silk Reeling in Chen Tai Chi with Violet Li

Silk Reeling is a very important principle in Tai Chi. In this video Sifu Violet Li demonstrates Silk Reeling in Chen style Tai Chi. Sifu Li is a 12th Generation Chen Style Tai Chi Inheritor and Indoor Disciple of Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei. She will be teaching at the Tai Chi Gala in Albany NY:

Dear Clear's Internal Combat Arts !!! I have to say something about this video. Violet Li is mentioned here as a 12th Generation Chen Style Inheritor; also indoor disciple of Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei. I've watched some videos of silk reeling performed by her predecessor Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei, other Grandmasters Chen Xiaowang, Chen Xiaoxing, Zhu Tiancai; they were performing simple, steady, circular movements of hands. She demonstrating silk reeling is a compilation of some steps of Chen style Tai Chi Chhuan Xin Jia Yi Lu - part One, four, and five. These steps of Xin Jia Yi Lu part one, part four, part five are more complex and hard to perform. I question about compilation process of this video. Anyway, Thank you for sharing this video. The video is beautiful and inspiring for Tai Chi learners and practitioners. THank YOu !!

Excellent contribution Violet! Thank you!

Chen taiji has a whole set of silk reeling movements and I was hoping this was going to be an instructional video on that instead of a form demo.

Stephen Lowe, thank you for the kind comment.

her form is beautiful

[@congamike1]

Violet, It is a pleasure to see this form and you perform it beautifully. I noticed many similarities with the WuDang Form that I practice and teach in Indianapolis. This makes sense because my short lineage to Master Yuen has two Chen's in it. Thanks for making this video!

Mike W Thank you very much for the comment.

Very beautifully done! Great inspiration for my practice :-) And I love your blue robe!

[@TaichiExaminer]

Alicia Brewer Thank you Alicia for you kind comment. A student of mine gave me the robe. She was right. It is great for Tai Chi practice.

Windskar88, thank you for the comment.

[@KingoftheJiangl]

wow. not only is the title misleading, but now i have seen chen taiji done without any silk reeling at all. can someone find the silk reeling?

[@orihx3]

Very good demonstration! What song you used here?

[@nominal6]

orihx3 It is a song by Karunesh. "Calling Wisdom" from the "Zen Breakfast" CD. Many of his songs are excellent for this type of application, or massage, acupuncture, relaxing, etc... Highly recommended, if you like a musical background. Many are found on youtube. If you like his songs, encourage him and buy a CD or two. Personally I prefer silence, but for massage and acupuncture, these are great musical pieces.

请问你有兴趣和我磋商一下关于揽雀尾的动作姿势吗?

This is not silk reeling. You demonstrate a form, but the video title is misleading.
