Yang Taichi 108 Long Form, Back View

Yang Taichi Long Form (108), Aug 9, 2020
Traditional Yang Long form as passed on in Hawaii. Lineage of the form is basically from Tung Hu Ling and T.Y. Pang. I was first introduced to the 1st section while in Hilo, under the guidance of Jean Fraleigh. After moving to Honolulu, I was able to complete the form under Sigung Arthur Lee and Bill Hu. Since those years, there have been a number of other teachers who have and continue to guide my development.

Similar to my form. Looks like a lot of hard work. Lovely

I am a beginner in Canada and it is so interesting to see subtle differences in the moves.

Hi Angie, as my experience in internal gung fu and taiji slowly grows, how I move changes. It really is a lifelong study. Learn the basic forms and movements, memorize by breaking down the movements so they make sense to you. Ask as many questions as you think of them. Keep a journal so you can log your questions and your own studies. There's so much to learn in internal qigong, just take your time and allow yourself to slowly absorb what it can. As my main gung fu teacher would quote, "we're all trying to reach the top of the mountain"...we just have different paths to get there. Ironically, teaching the seated Tai Chi for Health Institute program has allowed me to study the internal aspects. Best wishes in your training and health. randy

Great work Randy. I studied under Tung Hu Ling's son Tung Kai Ying. Thanks for keeping the transmission going.

Hi Bob, I go in and out of studying the form and have recently come back to it more with new eyes. But nobody moves like Tung Hu Ling and his Dad and sons. I always hoped to meet Kai Ying one day.. My teacher was Arthur Lee who knew them and learned from Tung Hu Ling.

Thank you for this video. Beautifully done. But unfortunately the constant movement of the camera makes me nauseous.

[@LauShenGungFu]

Hi Marie, appreciate the feedback. I really can't disagree with you about the camera movement. I was experimenting with an Auto Tracking Pivo camera at the beginning of the Covid-19 Pandemic, trying to figure out offering online classes. I'll have to consider shooting the Form again with a fixed camera. It's always a good exercise to see how I've changed...or not 🙂. I do sahave the form recorded indoors but sadly with the same Pivo camera, recorded about the same time. Nothing beats a live camera operator or just sticking to a fixed camera angle. take care, Randy

Hmmm...An interesting comment, but I'm not sure what you mean by "Good grief..." Would you mind expanding?"
