Once again learning from your various Videos I have learnt so much and I am in my 15th year of Tai Chi and Qiqong daily training THANKS so so much you are truly making sense in your teaching and I have studied many many Masters
Thank you so much for the kind words ❤️🙏 Yes, I want to be an advocate for our art in this uphill battle against its exploitation. Thank you for your support and encouragement!
Top tips, I love your knee work, spot on as some don't understand leg vulnerability to attack especially from behind from bad posture that can become ingrained if not corrected . The back leg rear knee should never get broken from the blind spot lower knee attack just a slight turn of the knee turn forward saves the joint from a dreadful long term damage break in real combat.
Thank you so much 🙏❤️ We teach Yang, Chen and Sun styles. I focus primarily on Yang and start off beginners with Yang unless they have a specific interest in Chen or Sun.
@@curtis5985 yes! Many of the in-person classes I teach in the school are also available to attend online. My recent UA-cam videos and shorts are all from recordings from the classes. You can see our class schedule on our site: aipingtaichi.com. We use a system called Punchpass for class reservations and payments. The system shows which classes are available to attend online and when you reserve your spot, you will automatically see the Zoom link in the class details and you will also get the link in an email. I also make recordings of the classes available for you to rewatch and practice for 2 week after class. You can get a one week trial pass for $1 to try any and all of our classes for a week: aipingtaichi.punchpass.com/passes/143040. Hope to see you online in class!
@@AipingTaiChi Sifu, I looked on line at your website and am interested in the Yang 108. I don't see it listed as multi-week course (like 24 weeks to learn it). How would I approach signing up to learn the entire Yang 108 Long Form. TIA
Another great explanation of movement adaptation to external forces. I've been practicing taijiquan for three and a half years and have gone through a process of learning the eight, sixteen, twenty four, thirty two, fourty two and the long forms of the Yang style. One area that have not included in practice is pushing hands and as a consequence, I now see, where my practice is deficiently at fault. Although I come from a background of martial arts and my learning process of taiji was facilitated by it, nevertheless, luck of practicing in pushing hands is evident in understanding the values of force and deflection etc. Thank you once more, your guidance is invaluable ...
Thank you so much ❤️ Yes, so often Tai Chi is taught like an external martial art and you just learn form choreography after choreography. Our master's approach was so different. In our school you don't even learn any forms until a good 4-6 months of basic movements training and then spend the next year just on that one 10-movement form. We won't even start a student on the long form until at least 3 years of study or when principles are solid. We actually lose many students because they want to learn many forms quickly but we don't want to do teach choreography, we want to teach understanding. Thank you so much for your words of support and encouragement 🙏
Thank you for your reply. I totaly agree with your approach to learning. The basics of posture, movement, transition to the realization of what each movement
It is aiming for, it takes time to learn. For me personally and at a tender age of sixty four, the challenge was to get back to physical as well as mental fitness. Memorizing all these forms, the names of every move, is a challenge nonetheless. Taiji Quan is a lifelong learning art form. I can go on and on about my personal experience and involvement with this martial art form, but I'll say for certain, it's very addictive. Thank you for helping and contributing to our learning curve.
@@theo9845 For sure a life long process. I feel like I given a tremendous gift stumbling into it accidentally when I was in my 20's. I feel like I've only barely scratched the surface these past 20 years!
Can't remember the exact video of yours, but the music in there was beautiful and really good for tai chi or meditation. Can you send some links to the music or at least the names of the songs and artists so we can find them to listen to while practicing? I especially love the higher pitch bamboo flute (dizi?) Music. That instrument is like medicine. It just helps me relax and move my body better. I have trouble finding genuine music like this anywhere, including UA-cam. There's mostly just imitations that aren't even half as good. Appreciate your teaching and tutorials.
Thank you so much 🙏❤️ The background music we play at the school is on our website on the Resources page: aipingtaichi.com/resources. This is really pleasant background music that is good to meditate to and practice with
Thank you 🙏❤️ Tai Chi martial art utilizes Tai Chi philosophy. Tai Chi philosophy is based on the understanding of the Yin Yang symbol which is one of the oldest Chinese symbols and part of Taoism/Daoism. Tao te Ching / Dao de Jing is a Taoist/ Daoist text so they are related by philosophy. They can enhance understanding of the other
Barely done any formal tai chi training but I do remember how much easier it was for some of the other [older] students to easily break my posture. My stuff doesn’t look as graceful because I’m not all bendy but I do a lot of qigong (started almost 2 years ago). I like to think my flexibility of mind is good even if my flexibility of my body hasn’t caught up yet.
Flexibility in mind is just as important as flexibility of body. I've found that flexibility of body can be increased just through daily practice but an inflexible mind is much harder to change so you're ahead of the game :)

Aiping Tai Chi is not a very good channel name… It sounds like sth different in English. Especially confusing when you're wearing a shirt which says "Shirley". Just saying...
Our channel name is our school name. Aiping Tai Chi was founded in 1996 by our master Aiping Cheng. I (Shirley) took over the school from her in 2017. I am not the founder, I am the current head of the school.
I love the point you made that most of our real-life conflict is verbal or social, not physical conflict--a VERY important point.
Thank you 🙏❤
I am scrolling through your videos and I must thank each one of them. A wonderful job.
Thank you so much, really appreciate the support and encouragement ❤️🙏
Your explanations are very much on points with tai chi principles, thank you
Thank you 🙏❤️

Thank you 🙏❤ I think because of my 3 knee surgeries, I'm always looking out for proper knee alignment in myself and my students.
Sifu Shirley, thank you for all that you do for we beginners. Is Aiping Tai Chi mostly Yang Style? You rock :-)
Thank you so much 🙏❤️ We teach Yang, Chen and Sun styles. I focus primarily on Yang and start off beginners with Yang unless they have a specific interest in Chen or Sun.
