Taipei, Taiwan

Then you don’t know much :)

Fujian. I noticed the same.

Denmark

Well - he is a life and kicking :)

Why is it always that the internet "gongfu experts" with the biggest mouth hide beghind anonymity? There must be a reason.

@@exploringtaiji nice, that is the right tai chi attitude! Invest in loss!

Converting Chi into Jin is Satanic! @@back-seat-driver1355

Another anonymous keyboard warrior :( "Yielding is not running away from the force".

@@exploringtaiji I am not a master but I know there are 13 dynamics in Taiji which include advance and retreat. I also happen to know there is one form called dao nian hou (step back dispatch monkey), it is my understanding that it is retreat. Of course, you are super master, so you don't need that.

It’s not retreat it’s roll back. It’s not retreat it’s yielding , there is a difference. He doesn’t not mean do not yield. The quality of yielding as oppose to just retreating.

Elastic frame which you need to be capable of returning/delivering internal force.

And then condense chi into the bone marrow, right?@@exploringtaiji

You are welcome.

Hi, did you miss out on what is going on? As I wrote in the text this is a teaching situation where the focus is more on feeling/sensing what is happening - not trying to fight back or anything. This is an old clip close to 20 years ago and under labatory conditions. But let me asure you the concept in itself can easily be applied which I will be happy to show you if you at some point are in Denmark.

Hi TaijiquanGaoShan, If you have ever driven in winter and come across ice on the road, then you appreciate what it feels like to feel nothing (no traction to gain leverage with)...when you drive under normal conditions your tyres will find grip...this is the same concept. Your power find find no grip, like a car on ice, you will lose your foundation and are uprooted, without answer. It can be either (what you promote and what is happening on this video) depending on what is happening in the learning. To receive the issue and absorb it into your body i.e. take an inferior position allows the inferior player to listen to it, you are learning about how the superior issues...where it comes from etc. If you try to yield (defeat or 'fight') then as a young player you have likely stopped listening. Then as you climb in skill, you can arrange hand play where it is all countering...using only the right impulse or clobber him with anything you like...if there is nothing stopping you. If you do the former first, the latter will contain the quality. You will be like a soft spring. Later, the power is very heavy and damaging. But there is an order of learning. You have to have the eyes to see...but novices have no eyes, only the impulse to win and not lose. Chen said invest in losing. There is a lot of depth in that saying. Well worth wondering what that meaning in the application of training. TaiChi players: you need to give up something to have nothing. Nothing is important, if you have something you can't have nothing....and if you have nothing..then you'll find something. Now, when is something nothing, and nothing something?

Wee Kee Jin is being very polite. He’s actually a more skilled tai chi practitioner than Master Tam.

You are welcome

Hi Greg, just as it says in the text and the video, this is a teaser from the program exploringtaiji. The whole Form is taught in detail on the platform.

Totally agree :)

It is one of the applications of "Needle at the bottom of the Sea". It is not so much a technique - the important thing is "the machine" behind and sinking the Qi.

@@exploringtaiji I don't see how..when I used to take jiu jitsu we would practice pretty much the same exact joint locks

I heard Sam Tam is still alive.

As much as I would like to explain it, it is difficult in words which gives meaning if you are not familiar with Taiji’s vocabulary.

Normally I don’t answer people who prefer to be anonymous - but I will do an exception. First of all you are welcome to ask - not tell me what to do. Secondly - this is a teaching program, not a beat up program. Of course my students - and visitors - knows how it feels. Thirdly - If you are refering to Sergio Ladarola, I met him a few times when he came to me in Copenhagen and received teaching and I helped him to go to one of my teachers and also learn from him.

Peter, Taiji has so many teachers "manufacturing evidence" with their students. Maybe it's better to just give the lesson and let people check it for themselves?

Life is boring without real Action or full contact sparring or letting go of Hardcore Moments I just don't care about Business in the internal Arts. Maybe this is the reason why I am so good at it. BG

@@peterjeck2684 Strange answer. Anyway -there are many who are skillful in being anonymous inernet gongfu warriors and seems to enjoy that - and then we are some who just enjoy our practice, sharing and training with others. Whatever path you are on - enjoy it.

@@exploringtaiji it is strange to post teasers about tai chi. What is a teaser? Maybe you choose the wrong Business. Tai chi is about honesty not about business thats why your energy is down and all of you choose weak people to demonstrate except a few people like Sam Tam. This is why the internal is so bad in Europe it's all about Business

It is actually not that difficult once you know the method. But you have to build up the Qi first.

@@exploringtaiji how do I build up my Qi,can you explain it, thanks

@@1Samseng Just pee chi in a glass and drink It for a week It should work... But ill let expert torben Say its own.

@@1Samseng Go ahead and enroll in Torben's course. :)

Sort of a strange question to ask a man who is the founder and teacher of the Ferrari of online teaching in Taiji.

@@exploringtaiji Ferrari? Ferrum?

Hi Peter, thanks for your comment. You can either sign up on www.taijiandqigong.com/ or you are welcome to come to Denmark for private tuitions.

@@exploringtaiji hey are you a Student from Sam Tam ? Bg

You are very welcome and likewise.

It is Taipei. Yes - I look forward to back to Taiwan too once all travel restrictions are gone.

Hi Donkey Lips, As you probably know, I seldom answer anonymous people. First of all, I come from a place and an upbringing where we stand up for who we are and what opinions we have. I have no chance to give you an answer that matches your experiences since I have no clue of who you are and what your background is. Get my point? As for your comment you are actually wrong. Let me clarify: First of all this is a teaser for a partnerform that in the teaching program is covered with more than 2,5 hours of teaching in detalis. Secondly - each movement is practiced separately with release of internal force - not as a partnerform. In general the partnerform is supposed to be done like very good tuishou, covering lightness, sticking ability, sensitivity and so on. And no gaps. Thirdly - to really get the essence and importance of the form, you have to touch my hands or someone else who are qualified.

@@exploringtaiji Interesting. I’ve never practiced the form but have seen others do it. But I am very skeptical of it. If u do the whole thing u will program dangerous positions relative to an attacker and some very questionable responses. There may be a few good moves in the san shou form… it seems like a sizeable form… but I notice that the relations between the arms of the participants is often quite problematic. I dont put my name on my youtube account. So I dunno how to overcome that obstacle. You can call me Tai Chi Troll. Lol If u dont want to engage thats fine. Did it say Week 150???!!!! Adiosmio! Thanks for the videos!

Thanks Berni - yes that is the way to train :)

Thanks Per :)

Shen Shen Yuan from Taipei.

@@exploringtaiji thanks

You are welcome :)

Thank you very much :)

"Sink the Qi" :)

I disagree in the sense that the two first strike always win. Anyway - the video is a short clip of sensiitivity, sticking, etc.

Exploring Taiji with Torben Bremann yes i understand your video. Hard style and soft style have their advantages and defeat one another in certain ways. Im studying soft styles now/internal works. Very intricate and beautiful world of martial arts. ✌️

@@zachwells8994 I am happy you enjoy your practice - I enjoy mine too, All the best, Torben

The spirit is faster than the speed of light. You arrive before they even think.

@@MonacoBlast66 yes, but to the untrained they are not prepared

Thank you Paul. I have no idea - they belong to the videoman. You can try and ask him: fieldproduction.dk/
