Gong Shi Fa Ci my Kung Fu brother! Year of the Snake ,

So I should strive to punch when the foot comes down on the last move? Thank you for the lesson!

These are great🙏

I learned this version over 10 years ago outside of Seattle from Colin Berg, a wonderful teacher. Thank you for adding this video primarily because I haven't yet found a group with whom to practice since moving from the PNW to the east coast. I'm now in Western NC and would love to find a class or instructor. Thanks!

Condolences 💐 MOs def.

When ur teacher applauds you it means you can still get better but right now your nice with it☯️💯✊🏽🤎

Beautiful form. Beautiful part of the world. Beautiful Animals 😊

Excellent! Great lesson, thank you for taking the time to explain the details. New Year, new form!

So happy to listen to the stories of Guang Ping Taiji lineage.

An auspicious start to 2025. Great to see!

The story of a lineage reminds me that building community through the transmission of sincere skill is a blessing for all

Great that you have started teaching Kuo Lien Ying's Northern Shaolin, Cha Chuan. I am already looking forward to future lessons. Personally, I will start learning this form a little later. I want to improve my Tan Tui and Tai Chi forms before I learn something new. But your teaching videos are an integral part of my fitness program, for which I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I watched the forms again, it's sure a good one for keeping the legs limber.....I'm tempted to learn it. Anyway, this year I want to learn a new form or a qigong set.

You are very compassionate. See you again

👍🏽

Awesome!! At your age, much respect to you!! My dad is 86 and he too exercises a lot and is fit.

Thank you soooo much!

You are a Classical Man, artist with wood, landscape and more, man of the land, kung fu, fitness, hippie and lethal in more ways that one. You have lived life well. Thank you for sharing You!

Randall, I don't know where you live in Cal but we're praying for the folks in the LA area.

You're awesome Randall. I think your form at 78 is more graceful than the age 62 form. "Proud for you" as we might say in Texas.

Thank you for explaining the concept of drawing silk. I've heard about it but never could clearly understand it before seeing you demonstrate it.

You covered a lot of stuff! And I enjoyed it all, Thank You! Look forward to 2025, Happy New Year Sifu Fung!

Thank you for sharing and allowing us to learn and think when practicing.

I once saw a demonstration of martial arts that included Yang Jwing-Ming. When the presenter asked Dr Yang if he would please "say a few words," Dr Yang stepped to the microphone and said, "Let's keep going!" And THAT is what I want to say to you. Your channel has covered a lot of gong fu territory in '24, and it's been a delight to follow, and a heady re-minder of much that I value. Let's keep going! Thanks for the help!

When I was working a show, putting in 60-70 hour weeks during Tech, I'd feel guilty for not practicing -- never realizing that striving to manage a stage impeccably was also gong fu. When injury or strain interrupted my practice, I'd try to push through, inevitably doing too much too soon -- a mistake that's caught up to me big time. When life upended my practice schedule or threw it out the window, I'd feel like a failure, like I was letting my teachers down. When I saw the title of this video, my heart sank a little. I've heard that maxim so many times and worked so hard to free myself from it. I was afraid it would be the same old thing: a guilt-trip about never missing a day. I should have known better. Every word you said was a balm to my heart. For years now, I've been letting my body tell me what to practice, when, and for how long. In a way, I've upped my practice by trying to apply gong fu principles to everything I do. I love the forms, the movements ... but I am ok with days where dancing takes the place of martial arts, where I only manage to squeeze in a line of Tan Tui or a few minutes of Universal Post, or even where my entire practice amounts to falling asleep while doing a set of Tai Chi in my mind. Thank you, Sifu Fung, for your wisdom and encouragement.

You are very compassionate

I started Silat and Escrima in 1993. I started learning different styles of Tai Chi in 2008. I practice Double Tai Chi Sword, which is very rare. I've only heard of a few other people practicing it. Maybe others do, but don't teach or practice in public. I started practicing out on my porch during Covid.

13:30 Wise words.

priorities have to be set! right now the only thing I practice is the tai chi form and standing meditation, I figure that's enough on my plate! yet on occasion I practice the first two lines of tam tui so I don't forget. Thank You

Shoulder injuries are very painful because of all the nerves there. It doesn't look like you bore any pain doing the staff form and that is good news. Thank you for your channel.

when you have something memorized it's easy to repeat it. Especially if you are still physically capable. If you can't physically practice due to severe injury....mentally practicing is powerful. To envision yourself doing the movements. Top athletes mentally visualize running through the routine in their minds.... in addition to physical practice. The saying has to do with atrophy and maintaining strength and memory. you definitely get weaker but not in a day more like 2 weeks. It's a saying so people do not become lazy and keep up training..... for the lazy young people who may not have things memorized yet.. or may not have yet developed adult strength. there is some truth to it but it's an exaggerated one.

its always a wife....LOL

It would be great to have a review at intervals or maybe a full go. I forget links between groups at times and it would be nice to have.

Kuo sifu used to say: " Good seeds, strong roots, fragrant flowers...100 days the seeds, 1000 days the roots, 10,000 days the flowers"..10,000 days is roughly 30 yrs...[with 50 years in I am still refining and gathering flowers]

good job brother

Welcome back Dear Brother ❤❤

I remember Simu telling us the "Miss one/Lose ten" formula; I was so enthralled at that time that I took it literally, and always felt guilty when I'd miss a practice. These days I am in accord with your approach -- altho . . . -- I recall Willie Nelson in his eighties saying that he jogged every morning for five minutes, not so much for the benefit but because it seemed to "pay for the day." And I thought, "That's about right." I've never practiced tai chi and felt worse, so I keep after it, as though it matters. Thanks for the discussion!

I recall Prof. Chung teaching us the warm-up exercises and saying that you must do them 32 times on each side. I did that for many years. A long time ago I amended that dogma and developed my own set of warmups which included some of Prof. Chung's recommendations and some of my own. I practice "our" tai chi because I love the way it feels and the way it affects me in my life. I also practice a more conventional "softer" tai chi. There are days when I can't practice either. I am OK with that. I believe that we need to be the masters of our activities and not the slaves to them. Thank you for these videos. Thank you for sharing your personal experiences.

Glad to see you back! I am reminded of your video about cultivating an “inner observer” that you can turn to for feedback about your life (not saying it well, but you’ll remember the lesson). I feel like that when that observer is engaged I am doing my gung fu, even if I am shopping at the market or gardening. Ideally, my life becomes my practice

Randall Fung LaoShi , Wishing you and your family and animals , a fun Solstice , a merry Christmas , a joyous New Year !

I'm 54 n been practicing martial arts since I was 15. I think this is totally awesome what an inspiration you are to all of us to show that. We can still practice and be fit as we age. Thank you

❤️❤️❤️

Keep on keeping on, brother Randall. Your inner light shines bright!

That is why everything has it's own time. Flexibility for youth, Tai Chi for elders. 😀😅🤣😂

Your wood and leather work is awesome. Really like your landscaping as well. Living in Northeastern Oklahoma, I've got access to Isage Orange and made a real sweet self bow that draws 65#.

Be like watee

you can see the artistry being expressed in all you do, in a "nutshell" you're an artist! Thank You for posting!

Fantastic.
