[@markcaserta1367]

For someone not an active participant in Tai Chi, thank you for an introduction. Most people do not realize how out of harmony their body is. I once met a Tai Chi master and I asked him what is the everyday application for this besides medication and body movement. He told me to grab him like in a fight. Needless to say, he manipulated my body like it was a ragdoll. I then realized how out of focus I was in my movements as well as in my mind. It was a real awakening for me.

[@mastergutaichi]

First of all my gratitude to great and lovely George, Xiaoyaozi as I call him. On his departure, he presents us such a video. With all the videos he has made, I feel him always beside me!

@@disneytails nope, if you look at his channel, he uploaded like 2 months ago tops. Perhaps you mistook the context of Master Gu's comment, it is rather because George is no longer in China.

This is great George! I'm glad you left his dad in there. "A good balance of something formal and informal". It's refreshing to see something "real" on social media when so much content is overly-edited and strives for perfection.

[@PeacefullPath-8]

I don’t know what possessed me to look into this I remembered hearing about it only once yet suddenly the other day I was so overwhelmed and agitated then this popped into my mind and I looked up a quick 5 min routine. Wow I’ve never fet more at ease. I feel so happy and so relaxed and grateful while practicing. These body movements quiet my anxiety so much I’ve never felt such peace 😭😭

[@_VISION.]

Literally finished my first routine tonight and wow I am so amazed at what it has done for me. I am truly thankful and never thought it would put a halt to my anxiety. I'm doing this shit for life idc

[@_Wai_Wai_]

I think a lot of human illnesses has to do with lifestyle, diet and environment. Not just genetics. I had a grandmother who lived in a Chinese village her whole life, without indoor plumbing, with barely enough electricity to power a few light bulbs. She lived into her 90's, and Grandfather passed a few years before her. My dad who lived half his life in the USA, recently passed away at age 85. Living simply, eating simply, getting enough sleep, all very important.

[@lucianoinso]

@@_Wai_Wai_ In "The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine" an ancient chinesse book that has a lot of taoist influence belief to be written between 470bc and 220ce, there is a conversation between the so called yellow emperor and one of his court physicians, in one part he talks about the man and woman that lived in connection with "the earth and the sky", and those man could live their "full time" in life which he told was about 100 years, while the man that wasn't connected with that developed sickness and couldn't live all the life time they were given. He was talking about the connection with the transcendent (the sky realm), which therapeutic, spiritual and inner energy practices connects us with, and modern life kinda disconnect us from if we get lost on the turmoil of it, so yeah, your pretty much on spot, modern medicine doesn't understand that (yet) so it's not common knowledge.

[@amandaandrew6169]

Luciano Rodriguez very interesting.

[@Delaney_don1]

I'm a kickboxing guy n I think the philosophy of this and other martial arts are the basis for a strong connection between mind and body, a strong moral compass and much more. Balance is essential

Thank you for the valuable introduction. I am on a new journey re-discovering myself as I hated my body for being called fat while I was a sexual symbol for many kidnappers and rapists and I struggle with anxiety. I am currently learning about different martial arts and tai chi chuan has taken the cup for me because it will help me in many more ways than I can count. I need a relaxed mind, I need a body that will be in harmony with my mind before I can learn to defend myself. If there are any books you can recommend, I would love to educate myself. Tai chi is a necessary life skill and that is what I will value it as. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@duantorruellas716]

The universal principle. This science I've studied for years and I've just scratched the surface of this art. This art and the other branches of the tree , where tai chi is the foundation as well as qigong the internal principles are the expression of the balance of not just the elements, but a balance of spirit and matter , Present in the moment in its execution and power tai chi As the hub of the wheel where many systems met as a martial art with and without weapons , is also a system of forms for health and the repetitive conditioning of the body mind and spirit. When combined with Chinese medicine it is a very beneficial lifestyle . Its gifts lay in its repetition and how it becomes 2nd nature. I have learned much from the traditional world of these systems.

[@itinerantpoet1341]

It's very beneficial even when not combined with Chinese medicine. If you practice taiji a few hours every day, you won't need Chinese medicine! 😇

Master Gu and his father's encounter are indicative of the changes of time and the age gap of technology.

Not sure where your academy is located in China, but I hope everyone there is safe and healthy with this new virus outbreak. Cheers from Tokyo.

I've never practiced martial arts of any kind. I'm over weight and have been looking at yoga as a potential daily routine to help lose weight. I've stumbled upon Tai Chi and I'm going to start a 30 day challenge. Is there a youtuber who has a very simple and basic introduction for someone like me? Someone who is brand new and starting from a very unhealthy spot?

Thank you Master Gu!

Does anyone notice that half of the forest is dead and half is alive?

It’s just where the pines meet the deciduous trees. Pineneedles that fall on the ground are highly acidic. That with the combination of more shade from the large high canopy keeps the underbrush from growing. It’s common to see pine trees growing on higher ground where theres more drainage. On the right you can see the deciduous forest where is sunlight seems to penetrate all the way to the ground. The elevation also seems lower, which provides a habitat for different species of plants.

How long will the course be available? I'm having surgery on my hip in two weeks and I'll be recovering for quite a bit after that. Thank you for all these videos. They've really inspired me to study Tai Chi and Taoism.

[@Schnickums]

Which link and discount code? Thanks 🙏

[@Wi11i4mJM]

Hey George. I've been mainly practicing Yang style and a bit of Chen. Is Wudang style derived from any of the families or is it separate? I do like watching Master Gu. I also love the rake guy. Legend.

[@WC1Master]
