That's quite a story! I tried Kenpo in my youth as well, good basics. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for sharing story of your youth. Very interesting. Looking forward to next time.

Great beginnings. I love how you said your dad was into "physical culture", I have always thought it would be a beautiful thing if kung fu and eastern philosphy was integrated into western physical culture philosophy. There was a great documentary about La Sierra high school's implementation of physical culture online.

Audio is too low! Need it louder. I am very interested in this.

Great video Randy. I hope you will also find time to discuss your art endeavors as well

Thank you, your videos always lift my mood.

Backstories! It's all about the warp and the weft . . . . Thanks!

I have been doing tai chi for several years. The details in the techniques are really appreciated. Great work!

As a 19-year-old newbie, I'd surreptitiously watch my older brothers and sisters as I did my warmups and beginner moves, eyeing their advanced Shao Lin and weapons forms with excitement and anticipation. But eager as I was to receive those teachings, I soon came to believe the most precious gem in Sifu Kuo's treasure chest -- the practice that gave him such astonishing vigor, balance, and power at age 75 -- was his Taiji form. If life is a journey leading to a definite end, I thought, Taiji Chu'an shows us the way to make that journey with intention and grace. What I didn't realize at the time was how rare his particular Taiji was in the world, and how hard it would be for me to retain it beyond Portsmouth Square. This series of videos is a magnificent achievement. You have preserved Sifu Kuo's original form for posterity, passed on what you learned directly from him, and added a wealth of insights and guidance from your own years of dedicated practice and experience. As Sifu Kuo inspired me then, so does your vigor, balance, and power inspire me now. Xièxiè, Sifu Fung. Thank you for putting my feet back on the path I'd always hoped to follow.

Thank you for your detailed remarks in this Final Lesson 25! They provide all of us, who were not fortunate enough to study with Sifu Kuo great insight into the man and a time capsule into the golden era while he was teaching. The revelations about yourself and why you have made these lessons free are very much appreciated, I'm sure by all who follow you! Thank you for your dedication and the time commitment you have made thus far to preserve Sifu Kuo's teachings, and plan to make in future lessons! I hope these lessons will be permanently available on UA-cam.

Thank you very much for your immense work in creating these martial arts teaching videos. I feel very lucky to have discovered your youtube channel. My plan now is to go through all the lessons again by Christmas, not only the Tai Chi form but also the Tan Tui forms. I believe that both complement each other well and I can confirm from my own experience that I am healthier, more energetic and happier since practicing these forms daily. I have a question about the last lesson. Did I understand correctly that Sifu Kuo Lien Ying expanded the form? Is it a different way of counting or has he introduced new postures?

Thank you !!! I'm nowhere near done! It has been a pleasure learning from you and I look forward to your lessons on the rest of sifu Kuo's material. Thank You again....

Thank you for guiding us on this journey. It has been a joy to see your demonstrations and hear your insights that you gleaned from your years with Sifu Kuo at Portsmouth Square and your continuing practice. I look forward to the next stages of my practice.

Namaste, Master Fung. Words don't teach, yet I listened and read anyway ;) Seems experience is everything ... and picture/videos :)

And, a "grand terminus," indeed. Thank you for presenting all these, from my heart -- to preserve Sifu Kuo's legacy for others has been an act worthy of your manhood. Also noted: people become "Sifus" when other people wish to learn from them, and value what they teach. You have earned the title, and it's a good fit.

First! Thanks for putting this series together. In addition to the inherent benefits of learning this version of the Yang form, there are benefits of comparing the form to the Yang Chen Fu style. The differences reveal insights in energy and applications. Also valuable in understanding the historical development of the forms we have today.

After practicing the “hips whipping the arms” exercise, it has improved so many more of the moves than just Shoot Tiger with Bow. The end is indeed the beginning.

So true , looking at the entirety of a massive, complex problem is daunting - but as we can only do one thing at a time anyway, approaching it task by task, a piece at a time, gets the job done. That said, if you have even one other person to help you, your work is cut in half! I wish I could have been that person … but I’m afraid I haven’t been able to maintain anything close to the incredible level of fitness that allows you to gaze on the gigantic devastation wrought by 2 huge fallen limbs and say, “Guess I’d better get busy.” You are simply awesome.

Save the best for last! This is where the power come from! Thank you for posting!

As always, this is an excellent teaching lesson. You address so many different aspects of these moves in a short space of time that it will keep me busy for a long time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your teaching.

Happy to see your place all cleared up and looking great! Thank for these whip exercises, which are also a wonderful way to begin taking up the staff.

That's a lot of work! Good thing you are in excellent shape and have good attitude. I wish you could have gotten some neighborly help. It's the kind of thing I would show up for if I was in the area. Getting a little bit done often is what I hear works. Thanks for the tour and life lesson.

Wishing you the best in this difficult time. Thank you for sharing this life lesson with us.

As we approach the conclusion of the “Guang Ping” set I am excited to expand my practice to include Master Kuo’s Tai Chi staff.

Wow! To me it looks quite overwhelming, I live in the desert , Far West Texas! that's more trees than I see in a year! Love your attitude, a real master. If I can help in any way please let me know.

im so sorry for the accident. True taichi master, yield and redirected the unlucky event to find the positive. "Investing in loss" All the best, Master Randall

Over the years, I've learned to take the view that our adversities are blessings in disguise. It allows us to connect and realize the struggles of all . I hope that this problem will soon be just a memory for you

I’d help if I lived closer. Your attitude is pure zen. Wishing you all the best Randall. 🙏

From my reading, I gather that the ancient Greeks conceived of Reality as driven by Necessity (Ananke) -- they considered Necessity to be feminine, and married to Time (Horus), with children they called The Fates. If there is truth to such ideas, you can see how Life can get complicated -- and inconveniently, at times. You have my sympathies! But by "using" the limbs/trees/effort as Gong Fu, and cultivating perseverance, you've re-found that pearl once more. A good lesson!

I’m sorry about the tree falling and that you are saddled with the chore of cleaning up the mess. I wish I lived nearer your place so I could come over and help. Your attitude is a great lesson for me that I will try to carry into my challenges. Good luck with clearing up the damage, I’m glad no one got hurt.

Learned and practiced with Simu Kuo while at SF State in 2000/01. Relearning the form on my own. Your videos have been a great source to re-stoke the fire. Thank you!

What a beautiful place you live in. Perfect for taiji.

Thank you for reviewing the previous lesson and how it ties in with this lesson, it gives a good sense of direction and continuity! Thank you!

Spent all of 2024 in new environs, practicing in a park reminiscent of PS at sunrise when stiff weather allowed. Your lessons have buoyed and supported that effort, in-forming my understanding of the set. Ooh, so many thank-yous! You've helped an old man feel young!

Bittersweet as we approach the end of the set. Thank you SO MUCH for all the work you have put into these lessons!

This is great!

I was back East with Peter Kwok by then. I am so glad you took these. In Bing's pic, do I see Martin and Emily Lee and YC Wong?

Thank you Sifu Fung!

Great lesson! Can't wait to complete the form! Thank you!

Amazing that you know such forms. Beautiful to watch. Thank you!

First!

Somehow, since learning that going from Falling Stance to Golden Cock is or once was challenging for so many of my kf siblings, my balance and consistency have improved. Guess the real problem was the apprehension and tension I was bringing with me into the transition.

That's a pretty cool sequence! Thank you for posting!

We pause our regularly scheduled program to bring you this brief section of Xingyi.

The sequence of #s 46-48 always have felt to me "unlike" any of the others; like a special sequence. My inclination is to move through them at a faster pace, whereas other sequences seem to lend themselves to slower pacing. It's a treat to see/hear your analysis of them. Thanks!

Your “power circuit” analogy is great! How you express your spirit and energy in this sequence really resonates with me. Thanks for this lesson, gives me a lot to work on.

It's quite a leg work out! Great lesson, thank you for posting!

This transition from falling stance to Golden Cock is perhaps the weakest part of my set. I appreciate this lesson and also the separate video you made of the falling stance stretches and modifications. I need to add the bench stretches to my routine!
