[@Durzo1259]

I'm so grateful for a Tai Chi video I can actually learn from. For some reason, European/western practitioners always do it wrong, moving extremely fast. I even tried a Tai Chi school in my town and sure enough, they blast through it at high speed. This is beautiful, what the essence of the self-cultivation & the Tao is really about.

[@chenyeyang2385]

moving slow is far more difficult than moving fast.

[@jpegnow]

The pace at which you move is the same pace of your breath.

Master Chen is amazing

[@carlodefalco7930]

Tai chi is not only done slow . You don’t know much about tai chi . It’s ok , you’re obviously a beginner

[@tarjalinna3179]

This art could be called The Way of the Mountain. An exquisite ability to listen to one' s environment. Even those people who do not live in a mountainous area are able to hear, see and understand the mountains when they watch this performance.

[@arimchik]

he became a part of the whole nature..so natural movement, clean mind, energy is calm...great performance!!

[@peacebe2u480]

Yes, he is the embodiment of moving meditation that most masters talk about in theory. His legs power is something we can be envious. Without the lower part body strength, the upper will collapse... just like our house. Foundation is the key. I just do not like the shape of the fingers. My natural fingers shape not like chicken feet shape. Maybe that is his natural form. If I follow exactly, my fingers will be arthritic after a year!

[@michaellowe4472]

wow ,that level of total meditation at my age I coughed never achieve ,but to have seen that ,makes me believe ,that there still is a future.

[@wenshen3166]

a true master. so beautiful and graceful. try to do the slow motion for half an hour, bending your knees , walking with one leg with low posture, gradually moving center of gravity to another leg, after half an hour, you will find how hard it is. I always sweat and shake like hell.

[@wenshen3166]

I remember one article about how to have chi in your movement, the fundermental work is to stand with bending leg about 45-60 degree for at least half an hour motionless. people who can not do this can not be a taichi expert.

[@LifeForceChannel]

That's what I keep telling people.

[@realizetheSelf]

These movements are just beautifully performed Master Chen Shiyu. Well done.

[@nkos918]

It would be wonderful if there was a demonstration of this Wudang 108 with simultaneous front and BACK view so I could follow it and practice and learn it by constant repetition over time. In the last few years I learn yang, Chen, Wu and sun by watching back views. If there was detailed instruction that would even add more value and create a unique video since I can’t find a back view version on you tube or amazon. I would be willing to pay for a dvd in English that accomplished this task. All the other forms have back view on You tube. It’s very difficult to learn from front view because all movements are the mirror image. Your form is great and i would love to practice it by watching you daily as I do my other tai chi’s. I’m 74 and my purpose in life is to maintain my body as long as possible knowing its a difficult effort at my age but I’m determined.

[@malmess2164]

Ce n'est peut-être pas la quantité de formes apprises qui aide à une meilleure longévité, mais la profondeur où on va dans une forme et tout ce que cela dérange chez nous, qui amène une remise en cause de nos vérités et habitudes.

[@nkos918]

While you are correct that concentration on one form is important, I found from just daily repetitive practice that all the practices have a similar end point that is a focused awareness of your body and how you balance yourself as you move through space through each movement. So while each style is different, they appear to me to be similar. Unfortunately I have no external teacher and just focus on following the demonstrator or sifu on you tube as closely as possible trying to emulate their every step exactly, even watching how they place their feet on the ground - heel, toe first. Admittedly without a teacher guiding and evaluating me I am limited. I let god guide me

[@malmess2164]

@@nkos918 Ah si vous n'avez pas d'enseignant effectivement vous ne vous facilitez pas la tâche... il y a bien une chaîne que je pourrais vous conseiller de voir mais c'est en français c'est : Sochokun

[@nkos918]

I understand and appreciate your point; I do the various tai chi and T Y. Pang’s authentic Pa kua late at night as a form of mental relaxation and meditation . It’s very difficult for me to schedule “classes” during the day. at this stage of life god directs me good or bad. It’s not a question of difficulty but rather intent for me. I practice over 75 minutes daily with my own preferred music to soften and focus my spirit. My intent is to just follow the sifu as best as possible and I never do my tai chi and ty pang’s unique pakua without following the preferred demonstrator. The key for me is to try to remain in complete balance and flow with the movements done slowly and sense the alterations in the distribution of my body weight as I twist and turn. Many of the movements involved circularity. For me there is nothing to gain or lose. I’m not competing with anyone; only with gravity and my bodily limitations. I try to remain as fluid as possible and approach it like a continuous movement from one step to another like a ballet dance. My goal at my age (mid 70’s) is to maintain my muscles and joints functioning as long as possible and to enjoy the fluidity of the movements. However I understand and accept your points. Ps I also slow jog/trot 5.5 miles almost daily including a 150 ft hill climb in all sorts of weather for the same rationale. I have been jogging/trotting for 17 years now.

Shifu, to myself the playing of video in slow motion doesn't work because, you kinda just get bored and turn it off.

[@slathas]

It is a very beautiful demonstration indeed, thank you for the upload. Just one question occured to me during watching. What really disturbed me were his feet. He seems to correct his stance with many staggering motions. For me at least it broke the flow of the movement since it looked like he made multiple corrective movements instead of one steady motion. However I do not know this particular form and I'm an absolut beginner. Therefore my question: Are you supposed to shift your feet in that way? I'm currently learning the Wudang Xuanwupai 64 Taiji form. Most likely I lack insight and only therefore his foot movement seems unfluent to me in comparison with Master Tian for example. Hopefully someone can explain it to me, thank you in advance :)

[@michaelweichhardt]

Can you give me the exact time as example? i dont know what kind of shifting you mean - the form is huuge! :)

[@michaelweichhardt]

I think i saw some positions! I recorded this video and first it was very cold - so yes the body feels stiffer and cold. Making weight adjustments difficult. His footwork shown here is not as good as on the other videos.

[@slathas]

Hi, thank you for the reply, sorry that I'm so late to answer. And yeah, I should have posted some time stamps :D Three moments would be: 08:38-08:41, 09:01-09:15 und 24:56-25:07 An additional thing I noticed, at 29:20-29:26 for example, is that he seems to shift his weight before he puts down his left foot completely, hence giving the impressions of falling into the step instead of putting his foot completely down and then shifting his weight. Even though I've seen this in multiple videos I was irritated because we are told to first set down our foot, secure a stable stance and only after that we are to shift our weight, but that might just be a difference of style or it's something that becomes less important when you're doing taiji for mre than 20 years :D And yes I could imagine that the cold might have played a part, otherwise the execution is extremely beautiful from what I can tell :)

[@michaelweichhardt]

no you are completely right - I do pay a lot of attention on that too when teaching tai chi - you can also check my tai chi performance here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaC4pJl-i9Vlqrs Master Chen Shiyu is simply sometimes easygoing...and the weather condition was not the best - im not sure if I could have done the same - my fingers almost froze while holding the cam. I also do believe that master chen shiyu favors a natural flow over perfection.

[@cacciato69]

i have watched several times; my perception is that he adjusts due to bad footing of the ground ... adjusting to a rock or clump of grass is required or was by my teachers ... solid rooting on uneven ground is what i see. The root must be correct for energy to flow from earth thru dantien to fingers that is what is going on ... adjustment to root not corrective movement imo peace for all beings.
