Great performance of traditional Yung’s 85 postures, the long form practice would take 25 minutes in slow motion which is crucial to build your internal energy as well as the strength of legs and feet shared of your body’s weight in balance and harmony to support your upper body moved softly and flexibility. We are glad seeing this video to improve my daily practice lasting 50 years, this benefits your whole life indeed physically and mentally. 🙏

This is his 108 posture Yang Style Long Form. It is likely sped up a little.

@@brucewebber3412 It is the same thing. It depends upon how you count the postures. eg if you count Grasp Sparrow's Tail as one posture, you have a lower count than if you count ward off, roll back, press, and push...

@@dannave7816 I'm sorry but you are mistaken. The long form is 108 postures but counting the sparrow tail components, etc, is 150 postures. The difference between the long form (108 postures) and the short form (85 postures) is that the long form repeats several postures; cloud hands 3 times, repulse monkey 2 times, needle and fan 2 times, for example.

I remember learning T T Liangs Tai Chi from one of my Sifus in Newark Delaware around 12 years ago and I liked it alot. I had already learned from someone else prior to that though so it took some getting use to the way they would do long form to music. I guess TT Liang had set up a way of teaching long form so it matched up with a specific instrumental song. I never got that down but I learned the whole form. Unfortunatly I only remember around half of it. I was learning Hung gar kung fu at the same time and that was my primary style and I guess eventually I decided Tai Chi was taking to long, I had already had a good foundation in Chinese Kung fu as I saw it back then and I was struggling mentally with how slow the curriculum was being taught to me. I wish I would have stuck with it seeing as a good Tai Chi Chuan Sifu who has learned the full system (push hands, 2 man sets, spear, straight sword..) with all the combat applications (strikes, throws, chin-na) as well as a deep understanding of Chi Gung is hard to come by. I hope I get the opportunity to train with someone as learned in the system again. These days my primary style is Fut Sao (Buddha hand) Wing Chun, which is a very rare style itself. My Sigungs Sigung was a very famous Abbot of Shaolin Grandmaster Hsu Yun. Our system also has a complete Chi Gung system taught as well. Anyways I am happy to see thus video. Thank you for the post.
