If you look closely at some other videos of this Master, you can actually see the force, both in the way his opponents react and you can see it in the Master before he pushes. They are demonstrating the power of chi, not fighting. Therefore they are not "coming in hard" as criticized in comments below. They are not trying to land a punch on this old man, they are trying to learn from him. But I don't think most young men would be able to strike this man, whatever his age. You can see they could not get close enough. I'm glad they have this man on CZcams so this can be preserved for posterity. I'm sure there are very few who can ever hope to master his skill. I hope he has passed down his knowlege to some disciples.
Yes he did pass on his wonderful skills, but more importantly his method. I did some intensive training with him back in the 1980's, and so did a number of others. You write with good understanding and intelligence about this so misunderstood art especially at Master Huang's level. The only other master from the C20 of Huang's level, maybe slightly higher due to starting at a much earlier age was Master Ma Yueh LIang.
Taichi master Huang was demonstrating push hands in Taichi. In a duel if your opponent's hand/s touch the Taichi master, a soft power spontaneously came up to bounce the opponent away. When does this soft power come from? It comes from year after year of concentration on relaxation. When you are totally relaxed, your body can detect the weight and direction of force placed on you, then you can redirect the force and reverse the direction and send the attacker as far as the force he had exerted on you. Whether you sit down or stand up, the force is with you. This film id absolutely genuine. I have seen this done many times. Call it the soft power from relxaation and concentration which paradoxically become one!
the force comes first from contact and then the master can "listen" or feel the force and redirect it. A friend of mine, a taichi teacher at San Diego, was allowed to hit the chest of a taichi master at West Lake, Hongchou, China. He was bonuced back a good 8 feet , fall and almost broke his arm.
usually, the attacker is bounced back farther if he attack with more strength. notice the master was holding a cup of meater in one hand and he was completely relaxed!
I'd not seen this footage of Master Huang before. Really good. I love watching him play and he seemed particularly playful in this. Thanks for posting.
You are correct Jacob - this is a compliant demonstration. But check out 'Taichi vs Wrestling' if you want to see Grand Master Huang in action against a real opponent. Also, before studying Taiji, GMH was an accomplished White Crane practitioner - I think is little doubt as to his martial proficiency. All the best.
+Tony Kong He was a White Crane Champion boxer in Fujian... Then he met Cheng Man Ching n shifted to Tai Chi.. D Tai Chi I learn from him 46 years ago was d Yang style.. He later changed it n called it Huang Tai Chi
You are completely wrong. I have experienced this first hand from one of Huangs students (featured here). Huang was well known for his abilities. Quoting wiki "At the age of 60 Huang Sheng Shyan again demonstrated his abilities in taijiquan by defeating Liao Kuang-Cheng, the Asian champion wrestler 26 throws to 0 in a fund raising event in Kuching Malaysia".
Before we had computers and computer hacking, the art of generating an interesting unexpected behaviour in a mechanical system from the most innocuous looking input was perfected into the art we see demonstrated here. Of course the body doesn't quite work like a computer, but things are closer than one may at first guess.
with all the respect: this only works when you opponent believes in it ... if he doesnt ... problem if he is not your student ... problem ... Kiai Master vs MMA
Alexander Glavan i studied and practized several styles, bagua, tai chi, muay thai, wing tsun and so on.... i know what chi is or how it feels like... but i also know how a "master effect" can work on students... and i think sequenzes like 00:52 are strange and dont really help me to unders5and..... do you have a video of Master Huang fighting the grappling champignon? In respectfullness, don
Don Roland 0:58 a poke with the right index to the inner side of the hopeless guy, who should not assist in any physical demanding demonstration at all. A good "show" needs as less difference of quality between the participants as possible! This was ment to be a public demonstration, wasn't it?
i trained Taiji and i liked it a lot ... like chi kung its an interesting energy source ... but stil its not made for everyone ... and all trainers out there have to be careful what person they teach what ... there is so many people getting hurt because they beliefe in some technics that dont work for them ... a crazy druged up maniac doesnt care about your chi and kiai ... he wants to rip you apart... no love in that situation ... no fancy enrgy stuff in that situation ...
+Don Roland .. I was an unbeliever n a black belt in TKD 46 years ago in Kuching Sarawak.. after experiencing d power of Master Huang n his senior student I became a believer n studied Tai Chi from d master
I feel sorry for you and other's like you who will NEVER understand this DEMONSTRATION, yes that's what it is fool, the students are learning from him, but you are too thick to understand.
The old guy can move alright but his partner is not trying very hard. I don't think he would do so well if the the young guys were really coming in. We need to see him vs a worthy opponent.
If you really want to learn taiji, look for Patrick Kelly's school, he is a former student of Master Huang. You will be able to experience whether you are a worthy opponent or you are just chilling out and making comments ;-)
Patrick Kelly does not advocate free pushing hands, fact. If you wan to see something nearer to Taiji in practical action check out some of Adam MIzners you tube footage e,g, czcams.com/video/Z-RKyrfmDAI/video.html
why is some foe blame of tai chi, but no one blame aikido. The chi is not big diffident then tai chi. in japan they call it ki, in china chi (but more allround) Like chi is all around, so like when you trow a ball to an other person, so if Tai Chi is fake you cant trow a simple ball if that was true. Well magic im sure real´y means manipulated energy and all know from d&d that energy comes from somewhere. in base understanding a pc is magic, course we control the energy by metal to do work for us. Reason why they back then called it magic is to be able to hunt witches more effect full. Just try say it: Manipulated energy she is a witch. compare to: Magic witch Magic is a alert word in the 1600s for that matter whit my 12 years i can prove that the power is true in tai chi. and for science foe tai chi is not a religion so about Taoisme. this different about Ateisme and Taoisme. Taoisme dont say there is or not a god and there will all ways be a reaction to what ever we do. Basic. so if these word is how you see it you might more Taoist then Ateist.
the reason why people don't call aikido bullshit is because aikido makes it into a science - you know exactly the how's and why's of locks and throws. sorry, there is no, or little chi/ki involved. when old masters like huang teach/taught locks, graps or throws, they seldom, if ever say: "if you lead the momentum/force this way, let him over extend then you divert the energy this way, it'll lock his joints, and you can then push him in that direction and he will have no way to resist, so he will fly like a rag doll." i think it's a disservice to tai chi to rely on myths and pseudo-science
Kong Kong 12 years knowledge i know that tai chi and aikido are 90% alike. Chi is not magic as you foe think, its simply the same Energy as Gung Fu soft form, the tai chi energy when master it are just more low hz shock wave you start from contact of the hand in some case, there make the person lose ground to he cant balance and there by fall back. Even as non grand master like him, i can do things abit like him. Wee kee jin are one living grand master and he is great i have learn gong fu stand, and learned to ground that stuff do not help you a lot vs his chi. Chi are Chinese word = Energy, and shall not be compared by Wizard thoughts. Science are not all there is course how can we then still find stuff we dont know about? i see science nerds there blame stuff more like the holy crusaders wars all over, stamping foe down if other dont thing the same. Tai chi, gong fu and so on are not religious, they found out natures effect when move your body right. More simple can not be sayed.
You are only Fit to book dudes nothing els, world do not fit in to book, quantum physic will tell you that. you can only say where a ball can fall when trow but never tell 100% where it landing.
perhaps you are right. and that ten percent difference make aikido a more respected form of martial art. your chi/soft form/energy, is still mumbo jumbo magic. until chinese martial arts, including tai chi, drop this mumbo jumbo, it'll never be able to catch up with more mainstream martial arts. it is still a fact (sad?) that todays tai chi is not represented in the modern major sporting martial art arenas. don't bs me and say real masters don't do that, because master huang was famous for his match with a wrestler in singapore. ip man was so famous exactly because he was able to stand up to challenges from other masters
Appears extraordinary but it isn't,Fake or not this is not true Tai Chi.Accordingly to the Classics it's all about self discovering, accept and follow life and trancending the desire to control the others and ultimatly the world.This kind of Tai Chi presentation is entirely wrong as it focus on confrontation!Ths kind of things cultvate ego not decrease it!
taijiquan is not a bloody religion_quan or chuan if you like = fist/palm i.e. pugilism_biffo_smashem up ,bashem up. If you can't handle confrontation,it means you can't do taijiquan. Physical , in-your--face exertions by others,will test where you say you are; it's an excellent form of biofeedback training. If you get a smack in the chops, YOU are at fault_usually because you are too full of yourself to actually pay attention to the now moment in front of you. Go and play with the airy-fairy new age wankers.
You are completely wrong my friend this is only a seminar where the late grand master Huang Sheng Shiang is showing to his student different ways of issuing chi. Of course Tai Ji is not only fighting it is an art that can be used in everything, it's up to you! Today not many are studying the real martial aspects otherwise it would be called Tai Chi Chuang. It is the method that is martial but the scope is not to be able to push the people around...
simeon simeonov the outcome of taiji training is to demonstrate physically that you understand the concepts. Understanding is when you can put awareness into action. The GM was demonstrating the students relative lack of skill in understanding_this is what push hands is for.When you have more self-awareness and know others but they don't know you , you have just demonstrated your greater ability. As for the metaphysical side of it; if you can't get the physical part down , how will you progress to the shen part? You would be putting the cart before the horse.You have to learn to invest in loss at every level of taijiquan development. There is no getting away from lots of hard, hard slog. The spiritual side of it is perfected in the crucible of the physical.Never mind the metaphysics, that will always be there when the time is right. Too much talking, not enough practicing.
@@thetaichistudionz Wow!!! a second degree black belt in Aikido you say?? Maybe next time he can push against a a Jenga tower. Aikido guys spend inordinate amounts of time learning how to fall down. This makes good sense as that is exactly what happens to them if they get in a fight. Same as this fake Chinese chi master would do if he were to fight anyone who has ANY fighting experience. CZcams has plenty of fake chi masters getting knocked out. Fun times. Gotta go now.
@@iansjackson Mizener's stuff is more practical, but again, only with his students who are cooperating. You will never see these guys competing because it doenst work under pressure.
@@MrMyfistyourface Competing? I'm guessing you mean that stuff, sometimes in front of audiences, for prize or prestige. "Competitors" in that sense have some sense of security being in a controlled environment. I believe that's removed from Mizner's view of practical taiji, and, having spoken directly to at least one of his top students on this subject, you'd find they have 'real life' experience in terms of martial conflict. I can only agree, as a generality, you can't really discern ability from You Tube vids, but that is true for all arts not just Taiji. Wee Kee-Jin I can imagine would find your comments amusing as I've heard him say something like if you want to win a fight use an AK47.

How chi or breathing can become invincible self-defense!

a force unrelated with muscles !
usually, the attacker is bounced back farther if he attack with more strength. notice the master was holding a cup of meater in one hand and he was completely relaxed!
