- In this video Wee Kee Jin talks about the development of the Relaxed force and the often overlooked aspect of Sinking that is absolutely essential to the progression of Taiji.
Often teachers of Taiji focus on relaxation but do not understand or teach the concept of sinking. Sinking and Relaxing are so important that they were the parting words of his teacher Huang Sheng Shyan. Huang, who was infirm and unable to speak at the time, wrote the two characters "松 沉" (Relax and Sink) with his fingers on Jin's palm as the last lesson he would give to Jin before he passed away.
Sir, I have been practising CMC-37 taichi for many years now. I had heard of and read all the taichi principles mentioned by you in your video. But how to do it practically was something I missed out all the time. Your words 'RELAX, SINK INTO THE GROUND, SINKING IS A MENTAL PROCESS, SYNCHRONISE BODY AS ONE UNIT, RELEASE BY VISUALISING FORCE REBOUNDING FROM THE GROUND INTO THE BODY AND EXPRESSING THROUGH FINGERS' made so much sense and gives me motivation to reload and reconfigure my form. If ever you come to India, do let me know. It would be my privilege to meet you. Thank you....Warm regards....Murali, Bombay
Some really valuable details are being explained here, I'm glad I came across this video. Thanks for posting.
I'm blown away, I've been searching for this teaching, explained here for a long time. Thank you so much
👍Wee Kee Jin is a gift for all Students. Great Teacher and Performer. Good Camera work.
Such important details on how to practice correctly 👌 thanks for sharing this I had an 'aha' moment 🙏🙏🙏
Very intense teaching. I followed some workshops and studied the Huang style for some years. But the intensity didnt work out for me. I was too much focused on trying to understand these principles and forgot how good the previous style (Ben Lo) worked out for me. Returned to this style but highly respect the approach of Wee Kee Jin.
Thank you, a very concise lesson, lots to observe and practice.
Thank you for sharing this Wisdom!!!
-Brilliant explained. Thank you!

MORE VIDEOS PLEASE !!!
Excellent points.
So wonderful…🙏
Thanks from France !
Relax harder!
This explains everything, including my mistakes, excellent stuff. Thanks to the shifu
Thanks
This sounds a lot like my Dad he spoke much of the sink, the melting away, visualization it’s all in the mind the mind controls the function of the body through breathing movement
Dear Sir, Is it receiving and transvferiring opponent´s energy down to the ground and returning it to him using our better coordinated body ultimately will push him away? Paul,68?
It’s not there ..Because u try too much. I love that So important. Learning the moves is only the key. Key opens doors. Only later when you get in …do you have a chance to learn what’s in the house. And only then it starts to make sense. I love this guys talk. Thank you master
🙏❤️🙏
Those are real stable legs achieved via sinking and make him very stable'
What country does he live in?
Jin is based in NZ but usually (pre covid) has workshops in Singapore, Australia and Europe
You have to be very strong to able to sink properly
Interestingly enough the development of sinking isn’t from the use of strength. It is, as stated in the video, ultimately a mental process. Though there are physical movements it is not based on strength but relaxation.

Grüße aus Germany, lerne seit 40 Jahren und werde täglich überrascht wohin die Reise geht.Wee Kee könnte es dir beibringen
aber nicht im vorbeifahren! Du müsstest dich dafür entscheiden und es würde sich sehr viel Ändern.
Ansonsten schaue dir die Videos an,auch von Grand Master Huang und halte es für unmöglich.Wünsche allen eine gute Zeit.
Es gibt ein Video von "Master Huang" mit einem Wrestler wo das nicht mehr so leicht und locker aussieht geschweige das der den durch die Luft schleudern kann wie seine Schüler.
@@Gieszkanne Grüße, kenne das Video auch und die Zeitungsartikel dazu.Hatte jedoch die persönliche Gelegenheit diese Energie zu spüren bei meinen Besuchen in Kuching. Ich hielt die Videos auch für Überprüfungs würdig.
Das was ich persönlich erleben durfte und was ich gelernt habe und mitgenommen kann ich nicht erklären.
Das ist leider so, schade.
@@georghackl6178 Ich will diese Erlebnisse nicht anzweifeln. Ich sage auch nicht das die Schüler von Huang in den Videos das spielen oder vortäuschen ich denke nur das es noch mal was anderes ist wenn man nicht einen Übungspartner vor sich hat, sondern jemanden der einen wirklich besiegen will.
@@Gieszkanne Gebe dir Recht,ist ein großer Unterschied,Übung oder Ernsthaft.Der eigentliche Gewinn und Vorteil
der Energie Arbeit liegt im Alltag.ObTai Chi oder Joga und viele andere Optionen.
Den ernsthaften Einsatz hatte ich in 65 Jahren erst 2 mal, das wäre Zeitverschwendung.Grüße
What is meaning of synchronised in easy language??
synchronised means everything is moving together at the same time.
Coordinated
Hi @@mikewiest5135 usually coordinated is a good word to use to describe synchronisation however in this case the above is more accurate.
Hi@@andyinarcadia OK...not sure I see the distinction...can you explain a bit more?
@@mikewiest5135 In synchronise the idea is about getting the timing of movement (in the whole body) to happen at the same time. Coordination can sometimes be at the same time but the way the word is used timing doesn't necessarily have to be at the same time.
What is basic need of sinking??
Sinking is required to develop the "relaxed force" without sinking you have no grounding. With sinking you have grounding and can use the relaxed force.
@@taijisoce sir I want to Learn Taiji sinking,sing ,song, yielding and many forms , sir you run a online classes for me please 🙏
The melting sensation is easier when my eyes are closed …. While doing the form.
You may find sometimes that closing your eyes helps you feel the movements and sensations in your body and this is useful however the final aim should be to be able to feel this feeling with eyes open. Ultimately the aim is to feel this melting sensation in every movement you do, whether you are doing taiji, walking on the street, sitting at a desk.
@@taijisoce I have been studying the true meaning of - melting -
For myself I melt when I am in a playful situation with my 11 year old grand daughter when she tries to push me.
As I walk playfully around the Auckland botanical gardens my feet are deeply rooted with an awareness that has me circulate my attention from feet to head top…my shoulders have disappeared onto my waist and I am completely waist driven…I am very
yin /yang aware in my body and able to open and close the door at will depending on where the opponent puts the pressure.
Otherwise Covid times have interfered with regular class work for years and now I have retired to Paeroa.
Many thanks for your generous answer.
Do you mean "sinking" or "synching"?
Sinking. 沉 in Chinese.
