    I began learning Tai Chi back in the 1980s but didn't practice often until 2005. It became a daily routine and has been for almost 20 years. At 77 years old, my mobility, balance, and leg strength are far beyond others my age. Wish I had taken it more serious earlier in life. If you want to do something for your body that has lasting effects-learn Tai Chi!

  • @bobdudy7177

    I learned this Form in the early 90's from Robert, from the Taoist Sanctuary, San Diego. I still practice it, as it's such a great way to meditate and relax. When I was learned it, the hardest part was to move slowly, at the time I couldn't really understand why. Now in my late 60's I get a chuckle because that's how fast I am able to move. But the point is to use every muscle and joint every day, as they will cease up from lack of motion and use. Everyday is just one more piece of Rice Paper, placed upon the others. No Belts, and no destination, just being in the Zen and now.

    This is almost the 37 Form which I learned from Sifu Bob Lowey of Seven Stars about 30 years ago. I still perform it every morning after Qi Gong exercises. Ching's balance and "softness" of movements are effortless.

    I'm not mesmerised by his technique or anything. But what can you expect from an 80 year old or so man? But this is the best example on YT I think when you want to learn this form. Remember to play around with the execution speed yourself, relax and always to to floooooow.

    I teach this form and it's great to see his flow. But that flow is utterly ruined by suddenly putting an advert in the middle. Whoever decided to do that clearly has no idea about how watching another perform tai chi can affect people.

    This is great to find! I studied T'ai Chi with a friend in Southern California almost 50 years ago using his book T'ai Chi Ch'uan: A Simplified Method of Calisthenics for Health & Self Defense. It was one of the reasons I move to Taiwan over 35 years ago. The interesting thing is I never got into T'ai Chi in Taiwan due to other pursuits. But now I'd like to pick it up again and seeing the man doing the moves in the video is very inspirational. Thank you.

    I did study a bit with one of his senior students which was very interesting. I started with his book, co-authored with Robert W. Smith, back in '68/69 but very soon realised I needed a teacher for this and this started a long journey into Tai Ji, Xing Yi, Ba Gua, Qi Gong, Chinese Medicine, the language, philosophies and culture, etc. At nearly 74 years old, still find daily Tai Ji and Qi Gong practice invaluable. You can stay shallow or go very deep: the benefits just amplify.

    Once you have the 108 down cheng 37 is very easy to learn I taught myself cmc 37 in 40 minutes. However to get balance the form must be done on both sides. Chen style is my main tai chi form. I also do the cmc 37 with chen body mechanics and active chan su jing.

    Ultimate flow, has no structure. Structure is simply to being you to the banks, to find the flow. Once you find the flow, you can still continue with the structure, but it's so important. The flow will be dictating the movement, rather than the other way around.

  • @learntorelax277
    @learntorelax277 2 роки тому

    The biggest problem with videos is that people believe this is THE way to do it rather than just one of many ways of performing the form. The Professor would have been constantly adapting the movements. The way he did the form ten years earlier would look similar but quite different in many ways. The way to learn tai chi is not to mindlessly follow movements but to constantly test, experiment and adapt your skills according to different criteria - maximum power with minimum effort, energy flow, structural alignment and so on. Make the form your own personal expression of what it is to be human and alive. The way he did the form in this video is the way that suited him and his body and energy flow at that exact moment in time.

    • @david9180
      @david9180 Рік тому

      This is exactly the reason that we have so many so called masters that continue to perform incorrect form as a form of self improvised expression yet cant defend themselves and remain far away from the softness that transforms chi ' just about every form that I've seen has huge mistakes that beginners shouldnt make but they think they've nailed it '

      Well said Learn to Relax. I concur wholeheartedly. You can never step into the same river twice. As a flow artist, I'm constantly evolving and engaging in the art of f~l~o~w. I take Qigong and tai chi breathing and forms and apply them to my buugeng, triplegeng, dragon staff, silk flags or other such flow tools. I spin into a move that I never know if I will be able to do again. I'll forever remember the day I spent by the ocean playing with a five-spin toss of my staff into the wind before a major storm... I threw it out towards the ocean and it came back at me in a boomerang effect, perfectly executed. I may never be able to recreate that again in my lifetime. Creative chaos is a way of living, a way of life.

      David, please don't laugh at TalkingStick as he's simply someone on his own Tai Chi journey. Tai Chi isn't about putting yourself above someone. Everyone learns at their own rate. He's simply training, as you are. I cringe when I see someone diss another who's training. It's unkind.

      It’s quite amusing yet beautifully ironic that you two brought together - assuming ‘they’ were in the perceived need for reunification - the wholeness of practicality with the openness for assimilated adaptation and integrated embodiment, as an expression beyond originality, for all is natural - so it “becomes” naturally original, for it is originally natural, without the pretense of worded notions and interpretative conclusions or meanings. “Being without being”.

    This is my favorite footage of the 37 form. Each of Lo Sifu’s movements lives and breathes-this is another way to say he shows intentionality, but that is such a buzzword these days. I find his form so soulful & powerful, his movements so expansive. Really easy to see possible martial arts applications in his form. His consciousness imbues his movements completely. It reminds me of something Ravi Shankar said about playing music-that each note should be alive.

      Heaven and earth or opening posture the hands donot raise above the chest '' ward off the back foot should not go beyond 45 and the leg should be sunk hence the awkward transition move '' the hands coming from.push across the body are at chest height not above '' the 2 knees the second knee the foot should point downwards and repulse monkey the foot should be toe to heel not straight and flat footed '' the foot on the last snake creeps down should land 45 bit straight and the hand raised should be lower '' also hes not soong relaxed so the chi is not circulating as it should ' I have viewed it once and the general feeling of stiffness is in the mood of the form '' I believe Grand master had him keep one posture for 3 months ' play guitar '' it's not good form in my opinion

    Note also the perfect balance in a practitioner this age. He's not doing any extreme balance positions, which is no recommend after late middle-age, but the balance he's showing is rock solid and exceptionally rooted.
