T T Liang solo long form Yang style Tai Chi 150 postures full routine

Liang Tsung Tsai (1900-2002) lived to the age of 102. He was considered by many to have been the greatest living Tai Chi master ... the Grand-master.

Yes, I studied 3 months with him in New York in 1962 before returning to Peru. He told me to start teaching as soon as I got back (!) I have been teaching Tai Chi and Qigong ever since! Patty de Llosa

[@JustinThorts]

? with only 3 months training?

[@lindaj5492]

Thank you for posting this! I learned this Yang Style long form many years ago; then teacher moved abroad, so it’s really helpful to have a video to remind me.

[@larryaxelrod7577]

Had the great fortune to have had 6 months of private lessons with Master Liang in his daughter's apartment in Manhattan when he first arrived. He demonstrated his sword technique and we were doing DaLu but circumstances called me away. Great memory.

Thank you for sharing this! I took Yang Long form nearly 40 years ago (Maria Wen Yen Lui) and recently joined a Tai Chi group which meets in a local park 3 mornings a week. It's a wonderful lifetime practice.

George Lin I miss him ! He is my good friend and classmate in Taiwan. We used to get together when we learn pushing hands from Master Wang Yen Nien in Mr. Lin wen-shong father's house . He did bring Bob Smith to see Master Wang yen-nien to learn pushing hands. In 1970 , When I was in New York we met again in Master Liu Da 's studio where Liu Da was working in United Nation. Later , Master T T Liang went to Boston , I also introduce my students for him to teach because I was so busy with my engineering Job.

Thank you! This brought tears to my eyes. I have been looking for a quality video of TT doing the solo form. You also have the authentic music required when we played the form. He always dissed me since I had learned the form without the music. He could walk away and without looking pick up the next move from the beat of the music. He was a Grandmaster. The stories of his ability are true. This looks like it was taken when he was in his 70's teaching on Lincoln Street just outside of China Town Boston. His requirement was for right side, left side and then right side to do the form. Again Thank You.

Lovely! Master of the formless form.

Priceless footage of a truly great and wise Sifu. 🙏

[@riccardopareschi4042]

Thanks for share. After a entire life dedicated to JJitusu at the age of 66 now I'm a Tai Chi student (for four years now) following the Yang school of Doc Fae Wong. In addition to the pleasure of seeing this form practiced by such an illustrious teacher, revealed me some movements that are not explained in my school and taught only as simple changes of position and not as real techniques.

[@josemartins7299]

One of great true Tai Chi masters of twenty century!

[@user-zg1qz8oz2u]

One of the true living masters of his time!

I was fortunate to visit him at his home studio.

I read his biography (stuart Olsen)years ago. I enjoyed his form.

AWESOME VIDEO 👍 I studied with Cheng Man Ching.

[@haowanxiong]

waw amazing video. thank you for sharing

[@gregzurbay9291]

I was fortunate to see Master Liang demonstrate push hands when Master Gin Foon Mark, Greg Christensen and myself attended a chin na demonstration. Standing in a group an attendee asked Master Liang to demonstrate push hands. The student weighed about 180 lbs, and Master LIang effortlessly moved him about 6" off the floor and about 3' backwards - I was standing less than 10' away - and the lack of effort was impressive - I believe he was over 90 years old at the time.

I had the pleasure of meeting TT Laing with Orley Pederford and Mark Sifu. What an evening it was🙏

Question. I've been watching these old tai chi videos and it seems like they move faster then when you watch people practice today. Can anyone explain the reason for the change?

[@emptyemptiness8372]

If you read the old books by Chen Wei Ming or Fu Zhong Wen (disciples of Yang Cheng Fu) written in the 1920s and 30s they suggest that when performing Taijiquan for the public it should be done a little faster so it looks more dynamic to hold people's attention and they don't get bored.

[@MsChunky666]

@@emptyemptiness8372 that's very interesting I'll check them out. Thank you

[@emptyemptiness8372]

@@MsChunky666 Chen Wei Ming wrote a great little book called Taijiquan ta wen. It is available in English as are Fu Zhong Wen's books. Enjoy your Taijiquan study and practice.

[@brandonragssmith5374]

That dip to what looks like actually brushing the knee is interesting. I'd be curious to know when the video was made and why that music is used. I have to agree that it seems too fast. I slowed it down to half speed and the pace is still faster than I'm comfortable with. However, not faster than what I might do to illustrate the sequence for my students A reference video intended more for people trying to get the sequence right since he makes the movement of arms and legs very clear and easy to see.

[@Velasca]

Why are you uncomfortable with the speed?

[@TaijiquanSG]

👍

[@TheSiongMing]

How to write his Chinese Name ?

[@margaretzabor4302]

This reminds me so much of Taoist Tai Chi developed by Master Moy.

[@harryohrn6051]

Master Moy created his style out of Yang Style. The Taoist Style that Master Moy created is specific to health benefits and therefore uses more stretching when finishing the postures.
