Tai Chi for Beginners - Movement - Lao Jia Yi Lu Form

There are so many ways to improve your tai chi and get more depth into this amazing art. It will save you a lot of time if you can set your compass in the right direction from early on.
Tai Chi (taiji) is translated literally as "Supreme Ultimate". That's a significant statement to make about anything. Tai Chi is not very well understood, even in China where millions of people practice it everyday. People know tai chi by it's cover, which is slow, soft, gentle, relaxing, which are all correct, but rarely do people see that tai chi is also powerful, fast, intense, physically demanding, and much much more.
Tai Chi bring everything back into balance. It unites hardness and softness, quickness and slowness, and stillness and motion. It increases awareness and improves focus. Tai Chi has kicks, punches, jumps, and many explosive movements, and of course it has soft and gentle movements as most people can observe.
The practice of tai chi facilitates the flow of the qi energy through the body and the result is more energy, more vitality, and less stress.
Tai chi is easy to learn and once you get bitten by the tai chi bug you will be a practitioner for life.
The benefits of tai chi are well documented, but what is not well documented are the skills that come from relaxation, alignment, and whole body unity.
The symbol of tai chi is the yin yang ☯ which represents balance, unity, harmony, and the reality that there is no such thing as an absolute this or that.

You look completely engaged, completely present, and your form demonstrates a deep understanding of tai chi. There are so many videos of "tai chi" on KZbin, and so few that actually quality.

Nice transition to second Buddha pounds mortar

Practiced Chen Taiji for some time, then stopped 5 years ago. Had the chance to visit a workshop with Master Chen Bing in Vienna last week and it totally caught me again! My body still remembers the movements, but forgot few parts of the form order. Found your video to close the gaps. Since your movements are very clear and precise, and the recording is excellent, you helped me tremendously catching up. Thank you, great Tai Chi spirit flows through you, clearly visible! 🙏💚Best wishes from Austria!

did you learn from Chen Xiao Wong’s younger son?

[@seandurr3871]

Hi, beautifully done, very graceful. Where did you learn your Tai chi?

[@CenterLifeBalance]

Sean Durr thank you for the kind words. I have had a few different teachers over the years as I have lived in different countries. Each has contributed to this journey. The teacher who has had the greatest influence and impact on my taiji by far is Chen Yingjun. If you ever have the opportunity to attend one of his seminars I highly recommend it.

@@CenterLifeBalance hi, I can see Yingjun hands in your mouvments. Great job, greetings from Poland :)

[@CenterLifeBalance]

Marcin Zarek thank you much appreciated. Without Yingjun I think my Taiji would not be Taiji!

[@bazman32]

@@CenterLifeBalance I knew it!! I can see Ying Jun's influence! Nice form!!

I’m looking for the fighting style form my Sifu calls “ Old Style” I’ve found some similar in 64 but they seem to be for health only, can you help point me in the right direction?

[@unifiedmartialclubjohnplum1970]

Is That Chen's style?

[@CenterLifeBalance]

Yes that’s correct all on the taiji on this channel is chen style.
