It’s funny, but I used to laugh at the people in the park doing this, I think because deep down I was jealous of them. I always wanted to learn how to do it but before social media it just wasn’t possible. After 34 years as a truck driver and heavy equipment operator my back and shoulders and the rest of my body are shot. I was strung out on pain killers and opiates for years and I couldn’t work and eventually became homeless. I took a hard look at my life and decided to stop that and began a series of stretches and I learned that yoga and tai chi wasn’t just a load of bs for the trendy set! There’s much wisdom here! I am housed now and begin each day doing my series of stretches and workouts and I took myself off all the pain medicine. Thanks for your self deprecating way of sharing the Chinese names for the moves, don’t sweat any fools who talk trash on KZbin, anyone who does it can’t have much character or moral integrity anyhow! Liked and subscribed! 💪👊👍🤙🫶🤝

Oh well done ✅🙂 Hun Plus I'm going to give you a virtual hug🤗☺️ I love Bob Ross (yes I know he has passed away unfortunately damn shame) last year in lockdown in UK I was at my mum's house we both shielding and on BBC 4 at 7pm each nite of the week the started showing Bob Ross the joy of painting. My mum is severely vision impaired/blind n it has helped her to see the world differently in that when she looks up at the sky she's seeing cloud's and in her mind she realises oh Bob did that the other day. In a way what little sight she has n that is blurred, she purposefully looks for different sky's n cloudscape, trees the colours around the area she lives. I'm grateful to Bob Ross for that and the peace he instilled n still instills today. ☺️❤️

More Tai Chi, please!! You are kind, helpful, and have such a calming presence Please make a full Tai Chi video. Thank you.

[@StudioHannah]

I appreciate how THOROUGHLY you explain the moves. I’m slow at learning physical coordination and have had so much trouble in dance and martial arts classes my whole life because the teachers show us the overall moves and then expect us to do them. I need your kind of breakdown to understand, this was so much easier to get!!

[@joshua.neuhaus]

Hey! I’m a tai chi instructor myself and your videos on developing physical strength and agility have been a huge inspiration to me. I realised how helpful it is to improve my foundations. I was very excited to find out you even have some experience in tai chi! It’s extremely rare to find people practicing from a young age here. Much love from Germany!

[@cyndyratliff6612]

Actually Tai Chi is for every age. I love Tai Chi. It keeps you healthy and it's like a meditation.

[@nowherecrow777]

Damn, I can’t imagine how I’ll end up w/o watching your videos. Growing up as a kid in China I’m always ashamed of not being able to perform push ups and pull ups. While I learned tai chi as a mandatory course during college (yes mandatory), the teacher made it such a humiliating experience that no one wants to touch tai chi after the exam. those mandatory courses just to pass qualifications and body shames from PE teachers really killed all the joy despite I do want to learn those movements. Your videos show that I CAN actually do them without “just keep trying” mentality or being genetically gifted and I could just focus on progressing one day at a time. I just want to thank you for sharing your philosophy on doing whatever movements that completely changed my views on them and allow me to leave those PTSDs behind. Thank you so much Hampton

I would love to see a play list of Tai chi. You asked, I answered. More tia chi

[@exosproudmamabear558]

I am a doctor who is interested in physiology and I found out different types of exercises effects different receptors in the body and do different stuff. Slow fluid movements with lots of mucles involved especially good for muscle strength, bone health and joint health. It also increases attention span and decreases inflamation. (This is just summary since going into receptors,immun response and neurotranmitters would be too much for a youtube comment) Aerobic exercises also have antiinflamataury effects since it increases cortizol(stress hormone) but this has different effects since it directly stimulate main inhibitory receptors than just do temporary stress response,I realised this type of excersize with breathing exercises actually helped my adhd symptoms. So in short we shouldnt stick to one exercise type and do some variety time to time.

Over a decade ago I took a class in Wu style tai chi and learned the whole series. Hampton, you brought it back to my attention how meditative/helpful tai chi is!

Thank you very much for this tutorial! Tai chi always looked interesting to me but my social anxiety used to be so bad that I didn't even dare to dance even when I was alone in my room where nobody could see me. This fortunately isn't the case anymore. So I decided to start doing tai chi every morning from now on. I'm hoping to be consistent with this and to learn the principles behind it so that I can one day be at peace with myself and maybe also get off of my medication. Small steps! 😇
