Thanks so much for sharing. I'm working on the first part of the second section and the gracefulness of your movements are inspiring.

Well played.

How subtle and beautiful.

[@garyfieldman]

So interesting the subtle differences from the YMAA 108 I'm studying

La verdad es que, no está claro si es tradicional o contemporáneo, digamos que está mezclado mal para uno y mal para otro, ya ves el, hábito, no hace al monte Por mucho pijama que, lleve no, lo hace bien

[@ebonybrownfeather]

Amazing. Thank you

[@tinawong7825]

Nice flow, just to concentrate that long is amazing to me!

[@greggsidwell8307]

That’s why it’s called “moving meditation” Tying up the mind for 20 minutes, concentrating on the breath and guiding the chi is most beneficial.

[@samuelgreene3952]

This is a joy to watch! The outfit looks dope, too :)

[@markdonovan1540]

Great movement and balance, so effortlessly performed - moving like a continuous flow of water. Inspiring to anyone wishing to improve their Tai Chi, no matter what style or forms they may know already.

Welcome!

[@mystictv369]

Perfect form !!!

[@pad0927]

Wonderful video-will be helpful for me relearning 108 form!

[@greggsidwell8307]

Yes! Too bad it didn’t start at the beginning.....

[@chainartsairat2500]

Thank you, very beautiful and graceful set. I learned this exact set twenty years ago from my master but haven’t been practicing for over fifteen years now and been trying everywhere on KZbin to refresh my memory. I’m now relearning the movements from you. Much appreciated You wouldn’t happen to have Chen style by any chance? Kind Regards

[@Greendragontaichiandqigong]

Awesome! Glad I could help! I do have a Chen course from I offer on my website: greendragontaichi.com/courses/chen-style-tai-chi-lao-jia-yilu/

[@Greendragontaichiandqigong]

Thanks! the suits are relaxing...get me in Tai Chi mode

[@Wilbafarce]

Nice! The hard part is removing ketchup stains from the threads!

[@Greendragontaichiandqigong]

Haha!

[@184186]

I recognize most of the set here, however I must have missed a couple of parts to the set. High pat on the horse and Fair lady works the shuttle weren't obvious to me. The rest of the set was familar and well done

[@kenpogodan]

Excellent performance.

[@Greendragontaichiandqigong]

Thank you

[@kennethbillups3794]

Brother, I like your form. I am impressed. I see that video was made about seven years ago. I hope you are still playing Yang Style TaiQiQuan. Keep it up.

[@Greendragontaichiandqigong]

Thank you, still playing and evolving....hopefully

[@tailam7186]

good job! But it looks funny seeing you in that Chinese suit.

[@Greendragontaichiandqigong]

Yeah, some people don't like it. I like the style and comfort. Thank you!

[@CH-uh9es]

Very nice to watch. I always look for differences between interpretations, stylistic for sure but also more overt additions or deletions. With respect to the latter, can anyone shed any light on why some schools include Snake Spits Out Tongue as the entry into the punch after Repulse Monkey and Fan Through the Back in section three? Thx

[@Greendragontaichiandqigong]

I'm never sure of the differences. I always think that people have different applications in mind. Perhaps someone can answer that.

[@CH-uh9es]

@@Greendragontaichiandqigong Yes! Applications may be the answer. It can also, I believe, be related to the evolution of these forms. In some schools (e.g. Tung Family), there is a conspicuous step forward with the left foot as part of the Peng (ward off) of the final Grasp Sparrow's Tail (i.e. after cross hands, turn and kick) in section three. This step up results in both feet fairly close together as you then do the Lu (roll back). The subsequent Ji (press) includes a step forward with the right foot. This final position of the feet is thus the same for the final An (push) as it would be if there had been no step forward. The only difference overall is that you have moved forward one step. This moving forward is a general characteristic of the small frame Old Yang forms that are much more combat oriented. These were taught by Yang Shao-hou, the older brother of the more famous Yang Cheng-fu. The first Master Tung was one of the chief assistants of Yang Cheng-fu and the form he taught for many years and that is now seen in the Tung family form is definitely the familiar 108 form of Yang Cheng-fu. HOWEVER, Tung studied with Yang Shao-hou early on and certainly was acquainted with the small frame combat forms. One wonders (??) If his inclusion of the step up in the final grasp sparrow's tail of the interpretation he chose to teach was his subtle way of paying homage to his former teacher.

Thank you!

[@user-be9bo2jo3w]

Musique très douce bien cordialement

[@craigthain1]

Nice movement, some of the directions/angles were a bit out and the over exaggerated stepping bit odd. Also the quite a few too narrow/crossed over bow stances. Being picky as it nice to see the whole set completed so beautifully.

[@Greendragontaichiandqigong]

Thank you! I have changed a bit over the years. Not saying I've improved (hopefully in some ways) but doing the form a bit differently these days

[@yogasamrat]

Not bad ! Why are you lifting the front foot after completion of each repulse monkey?

[@Greendragontaichiandqigong]

Thanks. That the way I initially learned it.

[@novaacuinfo5930]

Nice is this learned from Yang Jun?

[@Greendragontaichiandqigong]

Thank you. No it's not although I dmire him and his students
