Simplified 24 Tai Chi routine

[@yesiownfrodo]

I don't know how old this woman is, but I find her gracefulness spellbinding. She's a great role model. Lovely.

[@nathansegurakennedy8607]

"great role model"?? Bro how do you know she doesn't have a conglomerate of drug smuggling and human trafficking and spends her nights splurging on strippers and cocaine? Think about it 🤔🤔 For the idiots: *Sarcasm* 😂

[@mahim4614]

@@nathansegurakennedy8607 you are so stupid and stereotypical. You can clearly see she is at peace unlike you

[@Sanguinarian15]

In tai chi you don't have to "go all the way down", she is keeping within the tai chi principals, and that is all that is needed, as far as the physical aspect goes. She more than likely got her title as sifu by way of chi cultivation, and knowledge of the forms and spiritual aspect.

[@foxybrown2]

Well if you are going to be an instructor you need to show the form correctly. Or you will be showing you students bad habits. This is great for her and her physical ability because Tai Chi is for your health also. but if you are a teacher you need to do the form correctly.

[@jayd3874]

foxybrown2 Agreed, but she may have been given the Sifu rank when she was younger and can no longer do the form properly, due to injury. A friend of mine was a natural at yoga, until an inner ear infection ruptured her ear drum and compromised her balance. She had to retrain her sense of balance. She is still good, but has trouble with some balance postures. If we really want to get into it, Taiji was an art of killing a man in combat. I doubt she is practicing taiji for that purpose. Since that was the original purpose, anyone practicing Taiji for health is practicing incorrectly. Taiji is what you want it to be.

[@foxybrown2]

Yea that makes since.

[@fionawallace8752]

but she's not "being a teacher" here. As the opening credits say, she is demonstrating a simplified form for an open day for people of all abilities.

[@angelaem205]

Such fluidity in the movements, very inspirational. I look like a robot when practicing Tai Chi, I need to keep practicing to reach such a level of rythm and elegant balance...

[@AndrewZSoler]

Practice :)

[@a.p.5429]

Me too.

[@lenwenzel7440]

I enjoyed watching your form, thank you for sharing.

[@zenwarrior2003]

I have practiced hard style martial arts for over 55 years and Tai Chi over 25 years. In the hard styles, we appreciated the performance of an individuals form even though it may be performed slightly different than the way our school performed it. The main thing that always disappointed me about Tai Chi is that practitioners are always so quick to criticize another's performance. Once, when I was teaching a form class for the YMCA I had a visitor from Canada drop in to my class. After class, he wanted to show me why his style was superior to ours. He asked to push me ( actually, more like demanded, in front of my students .) So I took a bow stance, and he proceeded to push on my chest. He could not move me. He became angry and stated that I was bracing myself with my back leg. I explained that I was simply sinking my chi, and rooting into my front foot, but he would not accept that. When he left, he went to the front desk and complained to the manager that they had a phony teaching Tai Chi at their facility. Too much jealousy and back stabbing in Tai Chi circles. I am always willing to learn from others, but not when it is presented with a " better than thou " attitude!

[@witchcerridwen]

+zenwarrior2003 ok im just a person who knows nothing about this.but please try to explain to me what i will gain by doing this.to me it seems very nice to do.but is it that you veel more calm in stress situations?or is there more to tai chi.

[@zenwarrior2003]

witchcerridwen;I just read your question, I am off to work but will get back to you,

[@malocardo]

+witchcerridwen Tai chi, when taught and practiced correctly, gives you three very distinctive benefits: 1. strength in your core. It's just adding confusion by saying "internal", so let's just call it the "core"... You will start by seriously developing the quads and gluts and doing so without hampering the articulations of the joints as mandated by the movements, and keep developing from there. Can you get this by doing squads? Of course! But by incorporating turning, moving, and steping, tai chi develops targeted muscle groups in a totally different way. 2. focus on differentiating between substantial and insubstantial. In essence, being able to activate what is minimally needed to execute the movements. So various parts of your body must work synergistically. And this is the essential development for a good dynamic chain. This is one elusive quality that all world-class athletes possess, but even they have to train for it. 3. developing the "quoi". This is reserved for advanced practitioner. :) This is the ultimate goal The movements are done slowly for a reason. It forces you to focus on the the aforementioned goals by finding the body parts (which can take forever) and forces you to develop the habits of engaging and using them (which can also take forever). At the end of the day, like everything in life. It's how you do it that makes the mark. You can just go to the park and go through the motion and call it tai chi. But that's not all what tai chi is about. I hope this helps.

[@malocardo]

+zenwarrior2003 Yep, that seems to happen in tai chi more often than other martial arts styles. For whatever it's worth, once you duke it out, the loser would have to shut up. But that's not how it's done in the "polite" tai chi community. Having said that, there should be a general consensus on what constitutes as "quality". And the ability to observe, identify, explain, quantify these key qualities is what separate the trained from untrained... I think there would be little discerns on what a good bow stance should look like... Anyway, I do hope there would be more video examples where we can watch and admire rather than watch and criticize.

[@1sunstyle]

I had a strong silat and escrima foundation when I got into tai chi so I practice it in a very martial manner! A lot of people don't believe tai chi is a martial art because it has no use in war. I disagree and feel tai chi has many applications for various types of conflict.

watch this video and you will see what I am talking about Sifu Zou Yunjian demonstrates the Simplified 24 Tai Chi Her movement is off a little her cloud hands.

[@KelGhu]

You're wrong. Perfect external movement does not matter. It's how she moves it from the inside that matters. And she does a small frame version 24 form. Obviously, itt will look different. But looks is deceiving in Taichi. If her push hands is better than yours, then her form better than yours too because she's got the internals right.

Wow she did not even go all the way down and she was off balance it like she has not been doing it that long I don't think she is a Sifu.

[@jonasclarkamps]

I'm really impressed with your knowledge and the application of it in judgement of somebody you do not know. You want a cookie?

[@et4822]

Snake creeps down,: she did not go all the way down. Golden Rooster stands on one leg: she was having difficulty keeping her balance. Throughout, she was bobbing up and down. I agree with foxybrown2 that she is not a "sifu". She is probably a student with eight months of practice under her belt, and learned Tai Chi relatively late in life which is why she is unable to kick high.

[@foxybrown2]

I have something to say about you tube this is about the 5th time that youtube has changed what i originally said. I never used the word Sifu youtube will adjust your sentences. I know how I talk and I have seen them use words that i don't even use.🤨.

Seriously though, I am taking a Tai Chi class and find it to be SO-O Boring! Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. People go on and on about how wonderful this practice is but I just can't get into it. It's like going to the gym for a workout, BO-ORING! Tennis I like and could play every day if I had someone who felt the same way to play with.

[@KelGhu]

Two possibilities: - First, it's because you don't know what you're doing because your teacher isn't very good. You see it as a physical exercise when it is so much more. But either your teacher don't explain it to you, or you just think it's BS. - Second, Taichi is as boring as meditation. Especially if you don't know what you're doing.

[@paultraynorbsc627]

[@HernanAsalgado]

No hay rotación de torso, el movimiento no es continuo, sube y baja en todo momento, no se une lo de arriba con lo de abajo ni lo interno con lo externo, ni siquiera se diferencia lo lleno de lo vacío... En resumen amigos, eso no se acerca ni un poco al estilo de la familia Yang. Una cosa es saberse una secuencia de memoria, y otra cosa es practicar taiji tal como se enseña en una tradición. Recomiendo que busquen videos de Fu Sheng Yuan, quien guarda la tradición de la familia. Saludos

I really don't like this. This is exactly what my teacher tells me NOT to do-- dancing around. Need to mover from dantein and torque into a movement like a fighter, not dancer.
