I appreciate him providing an honest and transparent account of his background and experience, as well as of the limitations of certain Taiji practices or modalities, and the need to pressure/test one's style outside of itself against a resisting opponent, this is the ultimate test of effectiveness. 25:40 It's funny how purist gatekeepers will pedal the rhetoric of full-contact fighting looking like kickboxing, this is the problem of stylists that talk shit, pretend that what they are doing is somehow “better” than what others are doing, and keep secrets without proving or backing up any of their claims with real evidence, but yet still claim that they do the "real" kung fu, which I think extends to Chinese martial arts practitioners in general, and why no real fighters take us seriously. Meanwhile guys like Mike Graves, Sam Masich, Mario Napoli, Dan Docherty, and Jef Sutherland have experience and observations which have merit in terms of actual skill as opposed to pure theory. Thanks Matt for sharing, fighting the good fight (pun intended) for Taijiquan, and all the work that you do! 🙂
Thanks Matt
Thank you & for sure don't want to be delusional in my own abilities nor lead anyone astray on nonsensical realities of pure effort, training with integrity & adaptation to what is needed to have practical applications of the art! I appreciate your nod & your time in watching/listening! 🙏💯
Nice one Mike. The good old garage days lol.
It's kinda wild how that 'room' played a role in so much development - holds a lot of knowledge in there like a temple 🛕 of sorts lol!!!
@@LowKickSlick 😎👊
Great talk. Very enjoyable and an awesome insight into using tai chi as a complete martial art
Thanks for that! Honestly, it's a hard sell - most do believe Taijiquan truly has any practicalities on its own. As I've said before, it's not comprehensive and all-inclusive but it has so much that makes it quite useful & functional in both sport & self-defense. It just needs training with integrity, no delusions!
We trained in old Shaolin styles and Wu dang qigong for 5 years before beginning Tai Chi Baguazhang and Hsingyi. So it was already within us to apply combat related, and actually had to subdue the urge to be martial at first. After 4 decades it seems to be a range issue in offensive sets
That's great insight on your training path - I'm sure it propelled your T'ai Chi training!
Interesting…Chen Man Ching style for me but still doing it 150 Yang Style form
Awesome, thanks for show the differences. 85 form feels more fluid indeed. I was wondering, have you seen Mantek Chia's Tai Chi 13 form? for back story, if you search on YT, "Mantek Chia Tai Chi Cigun", this is about 1 hour long, he explain a little bit more about it.... He's only doing the forms up single whip on 4 corners: North East, South West....etc, and that's it...
The way I was taught is, that ,just like Damon said in the interview, you have to start large frame to stretch everything and to get the fundamentals right. The so called large and small frame forms are mostly individual interpretations by each of the masters. It is not meant to be taught. It is something that evolves over time when youbstart to make the form your own. That beeing said, I was told to only ever teach large frame (depending on the students ability), regardless of what I personally practice. Not because any of the stuff I do is secrect or what not, but because you have to give the student a solid foundation on that he or she can build their own taijiquan. In my opinion, the people teaching large frame and medium and small frame ans so on only do it to have another form they can teach and charge the students for. YMMV
I agree with Damon regarding when normal large frame is not a good place to start. Large frame, medium and small are different practices at least as I learned. Large frame YCF is dantien centered movement because that's how Qigong for health works best. Basically for-health YCF is Large frame Yang movement with medium frame power and center(lower dantien). Yang large frame as I was taught is wide and deep into earth and is required to be strong for the other frames to function well. Medium frame trained without first gaining depth in large frame will have no power but still look cool to observers lol. Small frame will be weak without proficiency in both Large and Medium frame engines like some raver kid moving his chi ball around. Each frame can be different sizes meaning I can do an expanded medium frame or a smaller Large frame because what matters is the core of movement/change not the size of the movements. The reason Large is wide and released at least martially is to be able to harness more earth, we let force pass to the ground and force is generated from the ground through the feet etc... In my system this is just a requirement to learn and use medium frame which is a requirement for small frame. It's not just details lost from being too small it's about an entirely different engine. I also teach elderly or for health higher stance and dantien based. I have not lost hope for you yet Matt and I think we both can learn from each other our upcoming exchange in Seattle. In the case of CMC I think he did legit small frame because he was advanced and it was easier on his body when he got old but it was not just a shrank Large frame as Damon suggests. I am not here to troll just stating truth as I know it from my own 30yrs of experience with the hope to expand your understanding not to contradict that which you or SIfu Damon already know.
Great practice
It is a great start and one of my first Qigongs I learned as well.
Vaporizing kun and li. This one technique is what cultivates the zhen qi. In zhen qi yun xing a large potential is first built up under the heart and then moved to the ldt. It's more of a downward movement only in zhen qi yun xing and then ldt focus only.
Do I contract or squeeze everything so I get stiff like a scale cause i can't just imagine my head being pulled and it doesn't feel like anything happens,where do I even begin to stretch my whole body being stationary?

This system should be learned correctly or thoroughly. I suggest referring to the video above. That guy learned in far more depth and correctly.
Wow great
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😊
what/////
Where was Yang Zhaolin in the hierarchy?
He is the son of Yang Luchan's first son Yang Fenghuo. Not much is written about him by the family (as if he was written out), but he is mentioned in Tung's book and a book about Zhang qinlin.
I had all kinds of magazines, T'ai Chi, Black Belt, Inside Kung Fu, etc. I kept them for years and years because I hate to throw them away. But when it was time to move, I already had 20 boxes of books, and I had to decide whether I was going to turn that into 30 boxes. I kept a few that were special, but most of them didn't make the cut.
I recall you were talking to me about this and how He Weiqi taught the original way over lunch! Happy New Year Matt! 🙂
Yes! Thank you!
Thanks for that important clarification. No wonder the line with Fu Zhongwen has closer to practical applications than any other yang style lineage
I didn't know that. Does Fu Zhong Wen's TaiJi have an influence of Yang Ban Hou's branch that other disciples of Yang Chen Fu don't have?
You can see a side-by-side comparison here: czcams.com/video/lvJclY2Auc4/video.html Personally I think it's a very interesting topic! Similarly in Chen style there are differences... be it the different schools in the village (even the 20th gen is quite different from 19th), or the different Beijing lines, Dajia and Xiaojia etc.

Exactly !
Hi Matthew, I would like to make a comment if I may, on the originality of the Yang style. I am a practitioner of the long form taught by Fu Zhong Wen 85 form, although I began learning the long form, from the Yang Family of Yang Zhenduo's 103 style. They are both ''original'' but interpreted differently by the disciples of Yang Che Fu. There's another direct disciple of Yang Che Fu, by the name of Dong /Tung Ying Jie, who interpreted the long form with variations on the transition foot pivot. There are some fantastic performances of this style of long form by the son of Dong Ying Jie, Tung Hu Ling 1953 and 1960's on CZcams, you might like to see and compare the variations. I would like to say that I do enjoy immensely, practicing both mentioned variations of the long form. So, I would not personally go as far as calling one variation of Yang long form as more original as another. Yang Chen Fu's disciples interpreted the form as was taught to them by the master, but somehow put their own identity on the form with regards to certain transitional movements and perhaps applications of movements. The form evolves through the times, and I would think that the form taught by Yang Luchan has been altered, to what we have today available as knowledge that has passed down to us by his disciples or members of the Yang family. I would say that Yang long form of 85, 103, 108 is the foundation together with the Chen, Wu, Sun styles of the modern short forms of the Yang Beijing competition forms.
Thanks for the message. I am just going by what Fu zhongwen told us, that he basically never changed the form (85) from what Yang Chengfu taught him. There are other people that felt Yang Chengfu changed the form (to 103) for the public as well in 1930's.
Excellen! Thanks for the explanation.
You are welcome!
Felt it too felt like spiders walking. Note: i do not practice thai chi i practed only dan tien breathing. Afterwards i felt those tingling in my hand everytike inwalked before the dan tien practice i did not feel it at all.
Great instruction particularly on the reverse breathing. Appreciate it.
Thanks!#
Yep!
excellent version can we expect shibashi 2 please?
great presentation of sets one and two will look forward too set three please?
Sadly my teacher didnt teach that one. So I cannot teach what I do not know.
Cool
I like it!
Nice! Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Black belt?
I have a black sash from a kung fu school i went to for many years.
Thank you for sharing
My pleasure
We have the same / similar postures, numbered as 38, and 2 man set. Do you study the combat sabre form too, or is this what you call it?
We just did free sparring with padding weapons when I went to that school.
@@YongnianTaiChiUSA Do you know thye background of where 38 Posture Broadsword came from?
Jiang Yukun taught it. czcams.com/video/fm6-IwVPH5A/video.html
Wow. so he also studied Wudang Sword respectively with masters Chiang Jung-Ch'iao, Huang Pai-nien, Wu Chun-shan, Liu Pai-ch'uan and Huang Yuan-hsiu.@@YongnianTaiChiUSA
Matthew. I used to have such great respect for this teacher, but his conduct recently shows him to be quite arrogant and quite dismissive of others and he has minions defending him ( this to me is a massive cult red flag), I am not expert enough to know if its chi deviation and I will leave my eyes and ears open as is the Dzogchen tradition. but from a Samsaric view its clear he doesnt have much of an understanding of Buddhism, Dzogchen or even his own arts he teaches, gimme Waysun Liao over this guy any day of the week, but thats just me
feel free to email me anytime you want to chat backchannel.
Love this set! Ill add it to my daily practices
👏 i was just explaining that effect a few weeks ago
lol, i think I know the exact podcast you are talking about . Another Great upload Matt
