    Thank you for breaking this down to the most basic steps. I really needed that! Also, I appreciate the information as well as the silent demonstration. In demonstrating it both ways my mind can understand the mechanics and my body can observe and quietly follow without being overwhelmed. Well done.

    Great, detailed explanation. I'm a newbie to Tai Chi (about 3 months of lessons), and we practice the Tai Chi walk almost every class. I've been practicing at home, too, because it was very awkward for me at first. I am very pigeon-toed, so the outward twisting of the feet was very difficult for me to get used to. However, each week I notice it feeling more natural and easier to do correctly. Good luck to everyone out there practicing Tai Chi! Peace and good health to you all!

    Thank you so much for this - i do not have a teacher available - but Tai Chi has been recommended by 3 of my doctors for my pain condition and spinal troubles - i have watched many videos - and have been keeping it very simple. I used to be a dancer - so this is a good lesson for me to move with more "relaxation" in mind; - VERY different than dancing exercises! - I have noticed walking in this style in my backyard that somedays i feel very good - other days - i feel awkward and note that my hips and knees hurt. Now - by what you have explained I know why.

    @TheChispi25 3 роки тому +2

    The best way to practice the Taichi and the walking is on water. So if you can find a descent water fall and not too deep place is a nice way to practice the form. Remember Taichi is not about the air. Is about fluidity. So 3 to 4 feet pool or river is great. Also on water you will find the right amount of resistance you need for the form. Just do it and let it flow. Your welcome

    T’ai Chi , what you call tai chi walking. Moving along being a tai chi practitioner for over 20 yrs. Trained with Steven Lanzarone whom was taught and trained by Sifu Leonard Antonucci. Mr Antonucci was taught by Cheng man Ching. In CHINA TOWN New York City in the early 70’s. Walking Tai chi is the posture positioning in every movement of the form. With all due respect these are practiced in actual stepping, push, withdraw and so on!, thanks for an added moving exercise to stimulate the Chi!

    And I thought I was the only one who didn't know how to walk on Earth, before I learned Tai Chi Chuan helps so much with navigation. Hands are key and I"m like I"m riding my motorcycle with hands on imaginary rails guiding my direction. Seems the brain you can program ahead of where you're going even half minute before, so my "real" self is in control of the body's movement, which is the coolest...I've been playing with Earth's wobble lately and spun myself in an office chair this morning...quickest back remedy I've ever done, since I'm very very experienced in self myofascial release...so I use the wobbly planet's nature to also fix things faster...seems I'm able to sense, arm outstretched, magnetic North...and passing cars, if I'm really quiet and still, but I don't do chanting, don't have to. I just switch my attention to my senses so I talk while doing Tai Chi, sometimes, and never lose a position, being self taught? Actually the Earth's invisible "Chi" or environment showed my fascia how to move, and more...but this video is a good tutorial for the beginner, just learning it's benefits. Slow it down, you perceive more around you and see your true self emerge....that part, at first was scary, since I'm a Faith type, so I pray before I use the energy to help my body...family thinks I just do myofascial for them, but I can do what I know and they don't have to know. Sometimes it's best...people get nervous when you do something like heal and tell them...I don't need adulation, just to help in any way I can....pied piper, but silent. Because it's been fun learning how to...long journey, but I took a shortcut, I guess. Drummer's reflexes and classical piano trained hands seem best suited for holding hands still and aiming correctly, the hand positions are the martial arts moments I figured out how to use efficiently. Then I clear the chi formally and go about my business. I love the feeling of using it to go over the body before going forth...I like being around people more, since I can sense things, and be calmness in the middle of chaos or "monkey brain" environments. It's amusing since I used to be just like them...and appreciate this gift that's free, if you have the moral integrity to respect it's power...there are flip sides to everything...and some have misused and abused this artr of healing and martial arts it presents. Only the worthy should venture further. Your mind must be pure to do healing consistently. We work on ours by embracing a Faith in God. Who IMHO, did a great job providing health for fallen mankind, in plain sight. Best place to hide something so valuable for mankind. Blessings....

      Hello, Greetings! Saw your question on Tai Chi walking. It is not necessary that one should have any illness or injuries for practicing Tai Chi. This is a form of energy exercise technique also known as walking meditation which is very good for mindfulness lifestyle. Personally, I too do not have any health issues and am perfectly fit and active - but I have started incorporating Tai Chi in my daily workout as part of a healthy spiritual routine. These exercises are generic and can be done by all like a good way to harness energy activation in your body system. They also balance your mind and help awaken your soul energy. Hope this answers your query. Have a great day! Regards! 😍😇🙏

    I fell so fast I have no idea why. I broke my left wrist in two places. I had surgery eight weeks ago and starting PT this week. Would Tia Chi be helpful in keeping me from falling? I have broken four different bones in the past six years. My balance is really bad. Thank you to anyone who might know if this would be helpful to me ! I am seventy four.

    • @Huannia
      @Huannia 7 років тому

      Melanie Hope Yes and no. Yes because, if practised properly, taiji is good for coordination, balance, strengthening, etc. But due to your physical health, it'd be better to consult your doctor first

    • @wuchi51
      @wuchi51 6 років тому

      in the last 2 years ive had a broken hip and a replaced knee and have used taichi to recover full mobility strength and somewhat agility.The most important thing in taichi and recovery is patient, faithful work. when you think nothing is happening, done quit, have faith in the process and practice. It would be a shame after working steadily for a year if you stopped a day before a breakthrough, and they do come, small epiphanies. Ahas " i couldnt do this 3 weeks ago" or" that didnt hurt at all this time". Balance in rooting and leg strength is an undeniable plus of tai chi. My teacher from the 1970s who is now 92 was teaching up to 3 years ago, traveling from NYC to phila. pa every week.

If slowed down, I would like to see ten or fifteen seconds of tai chi walking at normal speed. Thank you.

      HI Sue, You want to practice as slow as you can while still maintaining balance and without disruption to your center line. Take it step by step and you will be able to recognize where you have or don't have good control and balance. Take your time, never rush.

    Thank you for the demo. I’m familiar with tai chi, having been in training in the past in the art of Kung Fu. It’s been many years and an injury in 2009. I need Tai Chi in my life and remember the movements and proper form, the breathing, but that nerve in my lumbar and leg, yowza! 😦 I wonder where to start. Do you have any suggestions?

    • @taichivermont
      @taichivermont  6 років тому +1

      For using Tai chi to help deal with lumbar and leg pain I recommend starting with slow gentle movement. Do your movements small so it does not aggravate the back or leg. I also feel that zhang zhuan, standing meditation, is an excellent exercise for these problems.

    i went to China for several months, years ago. no one i met was teaching taiji walking. and no one, and i mean no Chinese teachers, or their Chinese students, call the practice "tai chi". in my opinion, if you are trying to improve your form, you are best served, by doing more forms. Mr Marantz, do yourself a favor, listen to a CC Mandarin-language broadcast interview of a taiji master or group. it's pronounced "tiejeechuen" with the ' u ' being almost silent, spoken not as two or three words, but one big word mashed together

    • @kristiniedzwiecki3734
      @kristiniedzwiecki3734 5 років тому

      All name forms of the art is correct. Taijiquan, translated as Grand Ultimate Fist, can also be called Yin-Yang boxing. Taiji refers to the balance, interaction, and interdependence of Yin and Yang in the universe. Quan means fist, or boxing, and is used to refer to any of the hundreds of Chinese martial arts.
      Tai Chi Chuan is an older but more commonly known spelling for Taijiquan
      Taiji or (Tai Chi) is the term typically used when we refer to the health benefits and/or philosophy rather than the martial art aspect of the whole Taijiquan.
