Lei Lei was promoted as a taichi master on tv in "Experiencing Teal Kung Fu": ua-cam.com/video/EprNKGHPrxA/v-deo.htmlsi=WNqtQdJjCTpQHvWY IIRC, he claimed to have done kickboxing before taichi, though he clearly never sparred with that either. I don't think he's a victim of being misrepresented, other than his own.

Although "cultivation exercise" has it's own definition, i like to think of taichi as cultivation: slow and steady improvement over a long time, primarily to change your own body and character.

How can I join the group in Lexington Ky?

Thanks to Chris for sharing the link to this discussion. It was interesting and well done. The comments were thoughtful and thought provoking. And there was a healthy focus on Tai Chi and its place in the community at large (martial or otherwise). Thanks for keeping the jargon and the esoteria (if that is a word) to a minimum. Overall the discussion seemed to highlight in a good way the importance of time, place, and context so that details around an issue or question could be fleshed out in meaningful ways. That is an accomplishment. Thanks for doing the work and taking the time.

Io presento almeno due motivi sul motivo per il quale il tai chi chuan (credo anche il bagua zhang e lo xing yi chuan) è unico. 1) origina da conoscenze profonde e uniche dell'essere umano antiche di millenni che hanno dato origine a arti marziali precedenti al tai chi chuan e da cui si è sviluppato il tai chi chuan stesso. Le altre arti si sono sviluppate attorno a parte di queste conoscenze; in altre parole, sono "pezzi di tai chi chuan". So che questo non piacerà a molti, ma è quello che penso. Non ne faccio una questione di efficienza o efficacia di questa o quell'altra dal punto di vista del risultato, su cui si può discutere molto, ma di efficienza dell'essere umano in sé e per sé, non ci sono paragoni. Per esempio nel judo si dice tira quando l'avversario spinge e spingi quando l'avversario tira, ma la terza legge di Newton smentisce tale tesi. Per esempio il karate shotokan attua movimenti vettoriali destinati a produrre in caso di contatto con gli arti dell'avversario dei contrasti di forza, quindi una perdita di energia. 2) la pratica è una verifica continua delle conoscenze di cui al punto 1) non è concentrata sul risultato. Il problema non è ricordarsi un movimento e verificare che si è compiuto, ma sentire in se stessi le sensazioni che si cercano in detto movimento (come per esempio "concentrazione" ed "espansione") poi mettere alla prova (test) il movimento con un compagno e verificare se la sensazione permane, come cambia a seconda della velocità ecc. Questo livello di ricerca non mi è noto esista altrove. In quanto al punto 2 anche altre arti diranno che ciò vale anche per loro, ma in realtà non è così. In Italia c'è un detto: "tra il dire e il fare c'è di mezzo il mare".

It was great to hear how Ronnie evolved over time and happened upon just what he needed at the time to reshape his direction.......Good interview wish more were like this.

Great interview, I found a lot of commonality and some huge differences. Can't wait to talk with Chris on my own show

Thank you for the conversation!

44:00 I started BJJ early 2000s for the same reason. One of the best and easiest to learn is the technical standup, usually while stiff arming the person you're rolling with. It's simple, basic, and easy way to standup from many different situations. I do this when I'm rolling to practice as I don't want to default to going to the ground or staying on the ground. I'll have guard position or another position, then do a technical standup. After you're standing watch out for ankle locks, get those feet moving out of there!

@38:00 I love Chen style! Starting BJJ in your 50s is doable if your body is okay for it. I know one gentleman who is over 70 and still doing BJJ. You want to find the right school to train at for sure as some schools have a lot of reckless training habits.

Looking at a few of the Mitzvah postures, can't tell the difference between Mitzvah and Yoga

Is the structure learned by Mitzvah ny different than the structure taught by legit Chinese martial art teachers? To me it sounds like the linage Ronnie learned from simply did not pass on correct post standing posture, so he corrected this mistake. Good on him for this correction. Similar thing happened to the Karate I studied, the kicks everyone would learn back too much and I thought some students had injuries from this as well as loss of kicking power. I corrected the kicks so anyone who learns from me will have better posture then what I initially learned.

Fascinating interview, especially how he rehabbed his knee, thanks for sharing!

Hello, Everyone! Normally our content is dedicated to what are termed "internal" martial arts, like xingyi, bagua, tai chi, etc. Eagle Claw is considered an "external"martial art by some...what do think? Is there a difference? Does it matter? Would you like to see us do more interview with practitioners of styles like Eagle Claw? Let us know in the comments section. Thanks for watching.

very good interview. Mimi is a joy.. I find Qigong to be so fulfilling for me. I teach fellows seniors Qigong and Mimi and Lee Holden have opened my eyes to what is possible,

Thank you! I feel so close to Mimi, I follow her to do my practice since the pandemics that is beautiful to listen to your beautiful interview

I'm sorry. This was an egocentric, self-centred monologue. Not an interview. And with a basic skilled Taiji Quan practitioner. More than an hour to answer what others answered in less than 5 minutes... There've been other interviews that have been great and nourishing for our enrichtment; last I saw was with Mr Ranné from Germany, it was one of the best interviews here for sure; thanks for that. Thank you and keep going🙏

Another awesome interview with Master Yang!!

Sitting there and being quite is the ultimate practice.

Great interview! John Braeley likes to talk and fortunately for us he's interesting and articulate. Mr. Bentley did a great job of letting Braeley talk with just enough coaxing and questions to keep things rolling well. Thank you 🙏

How do I get my hands on that book?!?😮

Met GM Chin and trained at his HQ for a day. He’s such a nice person. Smart, accessible to new students and his skills are for real. I’ve touched with a lot of people and his skill is elite.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ismet in 2008. He is one of the warmest and most generous people I have ever met. In 2008 and 2009, he sowed seeds in my life, and I think he might not realize how much that has helped and sustained me through all these days. And it still continues to have an impact and grow. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Brilliant work on both sides !!!!

Ohhhhhh yeah this one is great !!!❤

Like in all her videos, Mimi is relaxing and impressive at the same time. Wonderful voice! Xie-xie!❤

Actually the Ma Family calls their system Tongbei similar pronunciation to the martial art but with different characters. The Ma Family Tongbei means "to connect all and prepare for anything". The arts include in the Ma Family system are the Daqiang, Bajiquan, Piguazhang, Chuojiao, Fanziquan and other material.

Thanks for all these talks/videos!
