A Precious Video of Late Master Zhang's Yang Style Tai Chi 85 Form
This is a video of my beloved late master Zhang Zhen Hwa of Shanghai , an inner circle student of Mater Fu Zhong Wen (one of Master Yang Cheng Fu's top disciple), demonstrating The Yang Family Tai Chi 85 Form at the age of 78 young in Kissena Park, Fresh Meadows, NY!
Master Zhang's teachings in the art of Tai Chi is as old school as it gets! Force & violence is never the answer; harmony & Inner peace is the way to go! Abandon brutality & a combative mindset; replace it with an adapting & free flowing mentality! Late master Zhang's profound wisdom of Tai Chi was truly inspirational, his peaceful presence will remain with me for the rest of my life!
Our busy lives often need natural ways to engage inner peace, Tai Chi is one of those great tools to help you achieve that state of presence. If you are interested in learning this graceful & powerful Tai Chi form passed down from late master Zhang, and if you happen to live on Long Island or near New York city, please feel free to contact me (Shi-Fu Wei) at (631)902-1368, or you may visit us at taichiforgood.com for class info.
Thank you so much for watching this video, and I wish you an abundance of good health & inner peace!

    I did thai chi when i was younger and the one thing i remember more than anything else was being incredibly healthy. Literally without any injury and illness for two years. My teacher moved back to china and i just stopped. Everything came back, all the normal sickness and injury that i had before i started learning. It is a beautiful art with amazing benefits that i will never truly understand . But it really works.

    A lot of the early students in my Tai Chi class came out of competition Judo. They felt that Tai Chi enhanced their Judo fighting skill. This was in the 1970's. In the 1990'sone Olympic level Judo player found a Tai Chi master in Vancouver that he could not throw. So he stayed and studied Tai Chi for a few years. The first master Raymond Chung learned from Yang Cheng Fu's oldest son who was a fighter.

    • @turntablesrockmyworld9315
      @turntablesrockmyworld9315 Рік тому

      I'd like to know the parameters or conditions of "not being able to throw". In full free randori ,a tai chi master would be thrown dozens of times be it Judo or Olympic wrestling. The claim that an Olympic Judo competitor could not throw a Tai Chi master is just absolutely silly unless the Judoka was being very respectful as many are, or it was just soft training, or it was some type of drill. I played Judo in the 1990s so I would probably know of the Judoka. Over the decades I heard the claim for many styles of Kung Fu, etc. where a combat athlete could not do something or another to some skinny master. In every case, it was just a drill, or just great respect, or just false.

    Like 'Sticking Hands', 'Pushing Hands' is a Tai Chi and Shaolin training method. Whilst it is useful in martial arts training and certain martial applications, it should in no way be considered a martial defence style in and of itself. A half decent fighter or a natural athlete would kick your butt if you brought only this to the table.

    The main exercise to develop internal strength is standing meditation. The moving exercises means nothing without the standing still.

    • @patrickcollins1855
      @patrickcollins1855 Рік тому

      @-Cale Well, the whole point of internal martial arts is to keep the practitioner healthy. The fighting part is just a bonus. I personally believe Wing Chun was meant to be an internal art. Two women created Wing Chun. The art was named after the first student by her master. Wing Chun taught her husband the art, and then he taught other men. That's where knowledge got lost in translation. Anyway, I read that external exercise may harm internal exercise gains. PS there standing meditation teachers all over UA-cam. Watch several because everyone has slight versions. Yet, the main thing is to keep your tongue connected to the roof of your mouth while standing. It's like connecting a battery to the positive post. Your feet on the ground are connecting the negative post. You don't have to stand in front of a tree. Yet, the energy from a tree can help one's progress.
