I was semi-ferocious before I learned Taiji, Bagua and Xingyi. I once yelled at my father for asking me a question about martial arts. I practiced Silat and Escrima for 15 years before I became Internal just about 16 years ago.
The stepping details are nice...yet what occupies me is that One might wonder if you have done something, that your forearms are so muscular developed.-Ernie Moore Jr.
I worry taijiquan is dead as a martial art....i also think Yang Cheng Fu started the decline. Yang Luchan- fighter. YANG ban Hao - fighter, Yang Shao Hao - fighter. Yang Cheng Fu was not a fighter and did not like boxing , he spread taiji as a way to improve chinese health.
Which is far more useful than fighting hence more than a million people now practice Tai chi. The descendents of the other family members are still going and teaching but they are still teaching the same numbers of students. That Tai chi is still just as available as it was back in the 1900's when yang cheng Fu was in his prime promoting his style. Without yang Cheng Fu you and I probably wouldn't know Tai chi existed as he was the first to share it with people outside the family. So, if he hadn't existed the, Tai chi you're taking about would still be there as it is now. Completely unheard of and inaccessible as hidden away.
I've been practicing Silat and Escrima since 1993 and Taiji, Bagua and Xingyi since 2008. I like practicing slow twisting and circling steps with blades. It nourishes my brain and I circulate my chi to stay healthy and massage my internal organs to stay soft and limber. The first thing I would teach someone is how to relax and root and circulate Qi. After relaxing, someone can learn basic Gong Fu! Ginseng A river of life through eyes Seen blue skies and dream Each day’s scene A shade of green from the leaves Beautiful blossoms So many herbs Spirits Here you find a shining light So bright Brandish an axe Blades fast As Y Flash the task or die I rehashed the Sun Splash Never dry We relax Eye And get higher than the slaughter It’s over And over the shoulder we Cold as roll into ball We crawl Light relax and draw in and out the breath Take eight steps in eight directions Bet you get it Don’t sweat it We don’t threaten it The externalists wet in it with blood caked On Weapons Broken down into sections

Ginseng
A river of life through eyes
Seen blue skies and dream
Each day’s scene
A shade of green from the leaves
Beautiful blossoms
So many herbs
Spirits
Here you find a shining light
So bright
Brandish an axe
Blades fast
As Y
Flash the task or die
I rehashed the Sun Splash
Never dry
We relax Eye
And get higher than the slaughter
It’s over
And over the shoulder we Cold as roll into ball
We crawl
Light relax and draw in and out the breath
Take eight steps in eight directions
Bet you get it
Don’t sweat it
We don’t threaten it
The externalists wet in it with blood caked
On Weapons
