I'm 27 and I wish I had less of an embarrassing reason for being here, but Avatar: The Last Airbender being on Netflix has got me into Chinese philosophy and tai chi. 😅
Don't be embarrassed. After watching enough of the show, it seems to me that sharing eastern culture/philosophy was its purpose (in addition to entertainment).
There is nothing embarrassing about this reason.. unless you are saying this to people who label watching cartoons/anime as "for kids and teens only". Then yes, very embarrassing, haha. Now it's time to expand your view and look at what is "embarrassment" from an eastern philosophy aspect.
Just from the top of my memory, Avatar: Last Airbender explained very well Chakra system so total beginners could grasp main idea of the philosophy. It is a good show ;)
There is absolutely nothing embarrassing about that. It is a beautiful, amazingly done and culturally rich series.
Imagine people who are 70 and still haven't grasp this philosophy...
Try baguazhang chen style, you'll feel an airbender.
My cousin passed away this past November 2019 at 77. He had practiced Tai Chi for about 50 years. He was supple enough that he could easily bring his chin down to his knee. Sometimes he'd do a form on the beach; he lived in Marin County. His form was beautiful, each move not really ending but flowing right into the next. Every time I see Tai Chi I think of him.
Not to be sad, life is death and death is life,, there is not end, we are pure energy. And science already prove energy
can neither be created nor destroy. Thus we said passed away, not dies.. we just transform.
💖🙏 Blessings to him and you. He lives on in your memory and heart. Time to practice Taiji then!
@@arlo247 Thank you. Yes, maybe Taiji now.
@Frank Chiang Definitely not. I believe that Tai chi practiced correctly has many health benefits and I know that it enriched his life greatly. I only mentioned his age as an incidental thing. He was very youthful but had some health issues we didn't know about that he unfortunately neglected.
@Frank Chiang - True, and her clothes, though beautiful, conceal more than they reveal about her movements, which supposedly is what this video is all about.
Tai Chi was the best part of my final year as an undergrad in The US. It brought me to a peaceful end of a horrible time in my life and allowed me to move on with confidence and calm. Gratitude.🙏🏽💙💯☯️
thanks for the message
@@sam.n7762Maybe she's not doing it in order to fight Conor McGregor.
Been back to watch this video hundreds of times. Love her style. Wish after these 3 years to see more of Wumings art. She’s Beautiful.
She is gorgeous and her movements are so fluid.
The question is whether you understand her movements
Experience is das teacher of everything because life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experience.
Awesome
I mean, Tai chi is an martial art known for its fluid/flowing water like movements
So.... Yeah.
It is kind of hard for me not to get a little teary eyed when watching this, so beautiful.
Beautifully mastered. She demonstrates a perfect balance of grace and power. The cinematography is exquisite, and the set is perfect. Surrounded by an amazing soundtrack. As a whole, definitely an award winning video.
Matt. I can do these moves while am having my breakfast and watching the tv at the same time. This is not real kungfu.
@@jayangli Your handle is be kind to on another. Yet you insult me? I don't claim to be a master of the English language, so correct me if I'm wrong. I'm having difficulty finding the word Kungfu anywhere in my comment. By the way, congratulations on your ability to perform Tai Chi while eating breakfast in front of the TV. Sounds like your skills go far beyond just trolling the internet. You're a real winner?🤷♂️
@@mattnorthcutt3622 I can't decide which is better: the video, or your reply to that comment and it's really good video.
@@stephena1196 Thank you, I appreciate the compliment.
@@mattnorthcutt3622 you're very welcome sir.
I have been now studying tai chi two years - this if by far the MOST mesmerizing tai chi I have ever seen...lost count how many times I have watched this......THIS is where I want to be.....complete. absolutely stunning...graceful....all empowered. Alison x (UK)
Its because Chen (old frame) and some Yang are the only remaining remnant of what Taijiquan should be out there. Chen looks as it does, because it was devised by an incredibly smart military officer who dedicated time (similar to what Bruce Lee did with Martial Arts and his system) to developing internal mechanical principles with doctors and knowledgeable generals. It is the only existent system to fully understand the original purpose of what is now termed 'taiji'. As the name, 'Taijiquan' is actually not that old at all. Its quite the marketing gimmick unfortunately.
That was wonderful. Wuming displays true grace, elegance and a quiet power. Thank you for uploading it and thanks, too, to Wuming for sharing her skill with us.
Ok I want to do this 1 day.
This video inspires me.
I see several negative comments here saying things like, _“The_ _camera_ _movement_ _is_ _distracting_ _-_ _use_ _a_ _tripod,”_ _“Focus_ _on_ _her_ _hips,_ _not_ _her_ _hands,”_ _“When_ _you_ _target_ _aesthetic_ _appeal,_ _that's_ _often_ _all_ _you_ _get,”_ and even, _“She's_ _not_ _even_ _at_ _the_ _level_ _of_ _a_ _student,_ _much_ _less_ _a_ _master.”_
Please do not listen to those people. There are plenty of dry instructional videos from the grandest of masters for people who want that. *This* *video* *doesn't* *teach* *Tai* *Chi,* *it* *inspires* *the* *desire* *to* *learn.*
Never mind the perverts. There are plenty of them who have done nothing in their life and hence frustrated. The video is beautiful and impressive.
The video isn't impressive at all. At least to any genuine student of the Chen family, who will tell you it's fraudulent. But believe what you will.
Be Water My Friend...And she is. The embodiment of Tai Chi Chuan Forms.The emobodiment of Tao. Praise Lord Buddha.
This is beautiful. I’ve always loved watching Tai Chi. So smooth, flowing and calming to me.
Very balanced movements and well grounded. The bow in her legs, and how low her center of gravity was at times was amazing.
Lovely video, but i wish the camera stopped zooming in on her face. I know maybe the camera guy loves her face he,he,he... but it's a bit annoying to miss seeing the leg and feet positions. They are very important and seeing the whole body gives one more sense of the gracefulness and fluidity of tai chi when done perfectly.
Not just the camera man that appreciates her beauty😉
The long skirt hinders the movements as well. Nice video though.
Put your mind at her sacrum. Everything is implied by everything.
Fortunately she is performing a very well known Chen Style Tai Chi form. You can find many masters performing the exact same form if you want to learn it. Few of them are as pretty or execute the form in such a cool location. But several of them are in fact better than she is in terms of balance and precision.
I had the samethought! ! She is really good though. This is the style I studied. It was really cool to watch still
A true master of the art, her moves are so smooth and soft
Such perfection in each move, not too firm and not too soft, not too fast or too slow, every movement so fluid and precise. Even the yin moves so perfectly executed. You can practically see the flow.
Lucid, rational, and cogent. A perfect example of slow-living in an ageless environment.
She was amazing, her technique and Flow , I really enjoyed. Thank you so much for sharing
Simply beautiful, flowing and with purpose… I am a trained athlete and swimming is my game - tai chi reminds me how water shapes us in many ways and her Chen style is simply astonishing. Thank you for this video.
Living life deep tortoise breathing and loving tai chi and Qi Gong, been doing Yang 24, 48 and 85 and now working training with Chen 56 with my students, well done and thank you for sharing this video it will help a lot of practitioners in the art, and giving me a lot of motivation to keep going with the art....nicely done.
Stunning! Her outfit is beautiful too.
but the boots look kinda too revolutionary for the job. Rather for a march 🙂
She’s so beautiful, graceful & strong & yes, I love most of her outfits, I wonder where to get them?
Failed
Good grief! Ugly everything
@@trvllei7592 do you know now ??
George, you are hands down my favourite content creator on CZcams.. Thank you for being such an immense inspiration.. Thank you for being you...
thanks for being with me!!
So many movements in 5 min. Beautifull and a beautifull woman doing them :)
Stunning and deceptively athletic 🤩
Thank you, George! It's great to see Chen style being shared like this.
Wow. This video was absolutely incredible. The music, the angles, the Tai Chi. It gave me chills. AMAZING.
glad you enjoyed!
She has such beautiful movement and flow in a peaceful but controlled enough way where needed. Thank you for sharing this inspiring sequence.🙏🕊
The control she has definitely makes you feel like she is moving something unseen here and it lovely.
De grande ultimate shadow boxer
Extremely beautiful, hypnotic, amazing, powerful music. Thank you for sharing.
I have just learnt the tai chi yang form and finished learning whole form today. I use to practice Tai chi years ago. I got back into it because I had to pack up running. This Lady has a lovely Grace to Her movements. Love the costume She is wearing. I like this form and will learn this next. Thanks for showing. It's an inspiration.
I learnt Tai Chi for 4 years in my 20s and now that I'm 40 I missed it so much, so I began to learn this form's steps 1-by-1.
Even from this many years of not practicing, I feel that I found the perfect form for me.
I began with Yang style then changed to Wu in that 4 years, but this form. This is like a river in the mountains for me. Flowing steadily and quietly until sudden waterfalls makes it break the silence and strikes down on the rocks beneath until it calms down again.
Awesome performance Wuming. God bless you...
The final moment was pure love and tranquility...
Parabéns Wuming! Você é uma excelente praticante de Tai Chi e representa muito bem o Estilo Chen como um verdadeiro Mestre.
Most beautiful Tai Chi, thank you for this harmonious flow and peaceful, creative action. I became one with the world just by watching and a feeling arose of wishing to start to do Tai Chi again after a 12 years break. With blessings and gratitude in Oneness💗
🕊🙏🕊
Beautiful. Her blinks are slow, and many times her eyes are closed. She is truly inside. Excellent.
This was a bright spot in my day thanks so much ! Stamina she has is amazing
Breathtaking post George! In the midst of the craziness in the world right now, i really needed this! Thank you for sharing it!
pleasure!
Cutter Murdoch totally agree, brings such peace
Thank you Wuming for enriching us with your beautifully executed techniques..
Yes. It was stunning! Rarely can I feel one's power through a video. This was a rare time. Beautiful!
This is well done. I imagine it's somewhat challenging to do a form in the presence of a moving camera. Wumin's concentration and focus are steady. She draws you into quiet and peace. I'd like to learn to move like this. It is an answer to the chaos of the world.
Wow amazing! Goose bumps. Have a huge feeling going to be watching this many times. Looking forward to more of Wuming. Keep them coming
Been back to watch this hundreds of times. Love her style. Wish after these 3 years to see more of Wumings art
So beautiful, graceful, yet somehow fierce too. Her focus and slow intention says don't mess with her😍😍😍
Wow I LOVE this video! Grace, beauty, and power! Amazing! I got chills just watching! I studied Tai Chi with head student of Chen Man Ching and the great Tai Chi Grandmaster John Chung Li. I've watched 100s of videos. I really enjoyed this. It's a great performance, it's not an instructional video which I think I saw a few comments that a few people had wished for. Just take this for what it is - Art! Well done!
She flows like water. Beautiful. Mesmerizing. Calms me just watching.
Water flows to lowly places
That people reject:
That is why
Water is like de Dao.
Dao is de universal principle of heaven, earth+mankind-
It is called Taiji.
Wuji moves and
Produces Taiji.
Taiji returns to Wuji
When de former becomes still.
All things in de Universe go like that:
They eventually return to nothingness.
Nothing comes from nothing is not truth
Because
0=-1+1
Or
No matter=anti-matter+matter.
The adventure of life is to learn Taiji
@@satnamo wow! 🙌
I love Chen style with soft and sudden strong movements.
The quiet strength and control of her movements brought tears to my eyes. I want to learn.
This was absolutely breathtaking. Couldn't keep my eyes off of the beauty of this movement.
I love the way the camera moves around her, it gives me a feeling of movement! Perfect ying & yang balance! 🤗😊😁
Respectfully disagree. Camera work was really not good. It annoyed me to no end. A tripod - no panning, no zooming -would have worked better as then you could see what was happening. Really a shame because it was a beautiful demonstration- just one that we could not see.
@@dmshueyable I have to agree. The camera movements are very distractive.
@@dmshueyable Self indulgent nonsense. If can’t see then that’s on you.
@@fruitlessbeast funny way to say hello
@@dmshueyable I wasn't saying hello. I see that you weren't either in your OP. George may have room for improvement but the final product accomplishes what was intended.
As with everything on the internet everyone is now allowed to become a public critic and divert attention to themselves. At least you started with 'respectfully' so that's a plus.
綺麗❣️軸が安定して動きが滑らかでしなやか。素敵です。❣️
Beauty and power together! She is very grounded.
Thank you for watching 🙏
Very Beautifully Done. Thank You For Taking Me Back To When I Studied The Martial Arts.
Beautiful performance 🙏 her Jing can be felt through the screen ❤
As it goes by 精、氣、神、I've heard the ultimate goal is "Shen"
Wow her movements are so fluid it gave me goosebumps. She clearly has a deeper wisdom tethered to her movements. I’m thankful to find this video 🙏🏼
This is a stunning production!! I once briefly lived in Shanghai and this brings me back to those days. The majesty in all elements and actors involved is amazing!
Absolutely a work of art. Have watched several times. Not only pleasant to the eyes, but can feel calm goodness deep within me. Peace.
really nice - great training...incredible cinematography. can tell she's still learning too and will only get better. i liked the way she stayed back on the 2nd jin gang and didnt go forward to quickly. important not to exhaust the shifting all at once....thanks...
This has everything -- a beautiful young woman doing a form extremely well, and inspirational videography. This is so well-done. I was in TV news for two decades and I shoot a lot of my own stuff, and my wife is also my videographer for martial arts videos. We will watch this tonight on the big-screen as a tutorial. I want to see more of Wuming and more of your work. I do Chen style. I've studied with members of the Chen family. I really love this performance.
So if this was done by a male or an ugly or old female technically it wouldn't have everything?
@@Liliquan Well, I am going to be 70 in three months, I have been doing this style of Tai Chi for 25 years and still hope to make videos like this. I am not as pretty but it is an inspirational video, especially with the videography, but also the spirit in her eyes and precision in her movement. I would suggest trying to appreciate the beauty in the entire performance as I did, and stop trying to judge others for not expressing their appreciation with the same wording you would. After viewing this, I sent the videographer a note complimenting his skill. It is truly amazing.
I just repeat, repeat..... pick a clip repeat, repeat.....❤❤❤The Ladies Graceful style takes me there...❤❤😊😊😊A clip of Heaven.
Thank you our Brother n sister...
Everything about this video is beautiful, thank you George!
I train that Yilu since 28 years and I love to see my form in a movie like that. Wonderful form, every detail is clear, she worked hard on Laojia Yilu, very beautiful...
The forms name is exactly which one ...? I can tell this one is truly a beautiful one ..
18 form in the Lao jia yi lu style. Old Frame. Believe it or not, her performance is not the best I've seen either. Not meant as an insult and it could easily be that she preferred to make this very calm as it appeared (great if so!); but the Chen family Grandmaster (who is easy enough to look up) better demonstrates the hard force/transition that should be present. It can be quite contrasting and puts some people off of Chen, funnily enough. Yang is far more fluid comparatively. Personally I adore Chen though. It is the hereditary art supported in Beijing (wudang is more of a joke for serious practitioners here) with a steep history. Thats not to say that any form of the art is to be pointlessly mocked - more that people should be very careful when we start talking about lineage from perspective of 'effectiveness'. As only the family lineages meet that criteria currently.
Hi Mr. Thompson, this was a beautiful piece of film making. I love and respect Tai Chi and very much enjoyed the way you captured the moving poetry. Please upload more and thank you!
What a wonderful performance !! You are so very fine with the smoothness , flow and release of Chi!! I could watch this video all day !! RESPECT !
Wow that's a beautiful performance I love it, and she is gorgeous....! Love 😘 her and her discipline.!
That song is captivatingly cool - A Ballad To Chuang Tzu, Oliver Shanti & Friends
Without music
Life would be a mistake.
Mistake is natural:
Regret is foolish.
The wisest men of all ages
Have always the same things;
And fools always do the opposite.
What do they say ?
Exercise and peace of mind
Are the key to a peaceful
And fulfilling life.
Was that life ?
I want to say to death.
Well then!
I filmed my self doing Tai chi at home - I never laughed so hard in my life.
Same here brotha HAHAHA
But let's continue the journey we set upon ourselves 🙇
It's fun too HAHAHA
It's all fun and games until you put the camera on and realize you look like a Drunken Yak, trying to do Tai Chi! LOL!
First laugh but after a few months of practice you will be dead serious like her and fully enjoin yourself
Probably not as much as we laughed watching Xu Xiaodong smash a 'taiji master' into the floor in under 10 seconds lol.
What a perfect portrayal of serene grace and quiet beauty!
So graceful and as strange as it sounds there is a stillness and quiet to it also
George, I feel so inspired by you~ love from🇨🇭
💗💗 thanks for being with me!!
Gracious movements.
Obviously it took many years to get to this point of expertise!
Just recently started Tai Chi ... from home for now ... As a cop i needed something to give me piece of mind and a way to empty my mind.
Love this.. very inspiring and beautifull to see. Love her outfit too.
After a year, I come back to this demonstration and am still in awe of its beauty. Your camera work is phenominal and Wuming remains stunning.
If you enjoyed my filmmaking and want to learn taiji - you can become a student of Master Gu's online Wudang Taoist Wellness Academy. It's all shot by me in the beautiful Wudang Mountains, China. I promise Master Gu's feet are in the frame! 😆☯️

Who is she?
can we get the name of this form to learn?
Thank you. Blessings.
@@ak1t4z3n7 It is the Tai Chi form, Chen style.
Her stillness is impressive.
f-ing brilliant, mate! this one is a classic. as is Wuming's demonstration of the form. you're on a roll.
💗💗
I feel her energy, frequency and vibration. ☺️ Her deep self awareness is powerful.
Oh my gosh so beautiful thank you for sharing what a delight love the music love the room love the loose flowing clothing love the instructor love the motion
From my Tai Chi Chuan Master Liu Pai Lin I learnt that the true Tai Chi happens within, with the constant flow of yin & yang. Thus, though the eyes are gazing outwards one's focus is inside. And this is exactly what I saw in this lady's Tai Chi. No effort at all, just the energy flowing. 🙏🙏🙏
do you know what form this is thnkyu ..
@@martywilson6533 hummm... sorry, I never really paid attention to this detail. My purpose was to learn the principles in order to practice them.
@@ZengHuaXiansheng Could be, yes, what you said rang a bell. With Liu Pai Lin we practiced the short 37 movements and also the 108 long tai chi. But it was in the early 80s so I don't remember much of it. But the principle is still engrained in my being and I do love it.
@@ZengHuaXiansheng hello! Yes, you're right. I confirmed Master Liu Pai Lin taught Yang Cheng-Fu and Chang Chin Lin. It seems he adapted the style he taught here in Brazil due to Brazilians lack of Tai Chi culture.
Stay away from other form which jumps up and down or twists your body with lots of fancy nonsense movements. That is designed strictly for stage performance and wishfully to be included in Olympic competition. This one is more like authentic Tai Chi. I can tell because I've been practice Tai Chi for over 30 years. Not many people can move me a bit when I stand still.
Amazing wuming that has to be the best tai chi performance ever. So graceful every move tells a story. Well done George having the privilege of seeing it first hand and 780 views in an hour. This is what the world needs now. More tai chi and less misery and despair. Glad you are both well. Looking forward to your next video. Ps what was the fab music please and will you be doing some talks and maybe even a book when you are back in uk. Thanks again for the good you do.
thanks Simon!! Glad you enjoyed 💪
Who is this so talented and harmonious Tai Chi practitioner? She is stunning in her waving moves! Thanks a lot! Very inspirational!
Very graceful and elegant, I cannot stop imagine Wuming waterbending in this hahaha :D
This Goddess brought tears to my eyes beautiful
U may need glasses then or stop chopping onions
She brought tears to my eyes too
awesome vid! Seeing Wuming, dancing Tai Chi, the way you can see the energy at her hands thrills me!
The way you catched this with the cam, so mindblowing, .....
we meet on patreon, the time has come! ;)
Hugs to Wuming, Master Gu and you for being what you are!
Watch her thumbs; they are floating - a sign that this is mostly local movement and not coming from a relaxed center. It's amazing to me how much garbage is out there about the Chinese Internal Martial Arts.
Stunning is an understatement like REALLY BEAUTIFUL
So very very peaceful, and powerful! Thank you.
Ohh she is the girl who stole your heart back in the mountain!!! ;)
@MÉNG LIN QI on the contrary! :)
Nobody can blame him because she's a very beautiful martial art expert like she moves and flowing with the energy....!!!
I love her
Are there any westerners who aren't perverts or just overly obsessed with females? Genuinely curious. By Chinese standards no she isn't attractive, by any standard. Shes quite average/below. However her execution here is great and that should be the focus.
I synch'd this to Pink Floyd's "Time" and it was amazing.
Taichi stances put you at the edge of balance and comfort. How these folks make it look easy is beyond me.
Prachtig,heel rustig om dat mee te oefenen. Dank je wel zal dat af en toe terug halen.
With everything in lockdown, I've been trying to learn this form for a while now from other videos online. Then this video showed up in my CZcams feed. The way it was shot has made learning the form lot easier. Well done to everyone involved 👍
you know the name of this form to learn? thank you(any resources will be really appreciated) god bless you
13 Steps Form or "Short Form" of Chen Style. ;)
Or Laojia Yi Lu. Sorry, I went straight to the translation. Hope it helps!
I believe it's called the Chen 18 form.
@@mikemckay4380 first part is laojia Yilu, second part laojia Erlu
George, That was beautifully filmed and truly mesmerising. After the teaser a while ago, so pleased that you filmed Wuming again. Greetings and good luck from Bristol, UK.
thanks John!
I could watch this video and never get tired😊. Tony From Canada 🇨🇦
Hermoso!!! Bello tanta sutileza, fuerza y concentración
Estou aqui por causa da dobra de água de Avatar! Achei incrível.
I’m here because of waterbending from Avatar! Amazing movements.
Amazing, say my greetings to Wuming her style is powerfull and is so beautiful how she manage those Tai Energy. Thanks for make this video greetings from Peru 🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪

@@aidaju9789 wow really? Hope you got a great time here despide this quarentine situation. Keep safe and take care.
🤗🤗🤗
What a truly graceful being an infinitude of thanks for giving me insight into my novice practice.
Her flow is beautiful
The moves are straight tight,
Tai chi is great
Anytime is just right.
She is pure fluidity and focussed energy personified. The title is accurate, it is absolutely stunning to watch.
Where can I begin to learn this in the UK??
www.ciaa.org.uk, these guys teach Chen style in the UK. 😁
Lee Coates so beautifully said!!
My teacher www.shaolinculture.co.uk/ and his kung fu brother www.tang-long.co.uk/. Wuming's style looks like it's Chen Zhenglei, which they both teach.
Ha-ha-ha! You might learn 56 forms of Chen Taichi from CZcams even being in New Zealand or Russia! And her performance is full of mistakes and misunderstandings of movements
@@Drakula5 I don't recomend to anybody to learn martial art from youtube. The videos here are very usefull only if the practitioner have proper training with a teacher . And, by the way, this lady performs the movements quite well.
Would it be possible to do a 2nd video...with commentary? May be explaining the individual moves, the feeling behind the movement, Wuming's state of mind while she is performing? Is she imagining an opponent or is it more a meditative solitary performance?
So strong, beautiful and peaceful to watch! Thank you!
The form that she's practicing, and the way that she's executing it, leads me to think that she is almost certainly using it as a, as you call it, a meditative solitary performance.. She is striving with each movement to control her breathing, to keep her moments supple, to flow from movement to movement with perfect balance, like water flowing downstream. In Taiji, Although each movement in Taiji has, in theory, a use in combat like any other wushu form, the way she is doing it, she's not practicing self defense. She's perfecting self control.
Pure perfection and elegance. No other way to describe her art and movement.
Stunning practice by Wuming !!! Absolutely need to find out more about Chen style tai chi.
