Master Fu Wing-fei demonstrates Fu style tai chi applications (from a VHS tape of Simplified Tai Chi made in China in the early 1980s). For more information, go to fustyle.org/
I just love the flow of tai chi and the use of direction the enemies potential energy to inflict damage upon themselves. Sorry for my improper grammar.
I'm really happy that the school I'm taking tai chi through teaches the martial arts application behind the moves. They also teach how to use the energy properly. My teachers often talk about internal and external and how powerful a strike can be when you focus your energy and do it right. I'm 29 and I've been studying tai chi for over 6 months now. I really enjoy it and I do feel stronger than I've ever felt before in the past. It's my goal to learn REAL tai chi, not only pretty forms.
I love the feeling of being like a river and using an attacking vibe or action as a wave back at the opponent - as always -what you give out you get back. This is just a great example of instant opposite action karma!
So hard to find legitimate combat applications in this art as seen here. So hard to find legitimate instruction not focused on dancing and wellness. Bravo.
ya ! good to see even the simplest movements have application like even the beginning commencement move very awesome! Very inspiring to keep practicing
i'm agree with this Last coment , i practice the Aïkido & the Taïji Quan , the Taïji helped me a lot in Aïkido too & both have the same spirits , no competition , no fight only the training with a partenar
that's why these skills take a lot more time than other more direct martial arts to master... and you can see people practicing against each other a lot rather than against sand bags, because these skills are designed to be applied on human bodies.
@transmun-- Your information is lacking concerning Fu Zhen Song's actual participation in that tournament. The Central National Arts Academy, directed by Zhang Zhi Jiang held that tournament and it had about 400 participants, none of which included Fu Zhen Song on the roster. Fu Zhen Song was an instructor in the association and therefore was not competing. The top fighter was Wang Te Yuan. Fu challenged him after and won. Read Lin Chao Zhen's book on Fu's Dragon Bagua.
In the eyes of this layman, Chinese martial arts seem to place a higher emphasis on good footwork and balance than I've seen in Japanese and Korean styles. YMMV.
It's true the form is Yang 24, but whenever I've seen that form done by someone who studied with Grandmaster Fu, they put a lot of Fu style "flavor" into it. So I'm assuming he's showing applications from the Fu system because that's how he does it.
I practice tkd and hapkido, but only once I've gotten into a lil fight. I didn't use any tkd or hapkido. I basically did the swirly hand action when he punched And then pushed him with my palms which knocked him down. He got a lil embarrassed and left. It was in public too. Tai chi is good cause even dou I practice traditional tkd and hapkido, I don't want to use it cause it can be deadly when tai chi prevents it mostly. #js
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I just wanted to mention, in case some don't make the connection on their own, that Fu Wing-fei and Fu Yong-hui are the same person (Cantonese vs. Mandarin), and he is Fu Zhen-song's son. I assume the young men in the video are his sons Fu Shen-long (Victor Fu who currently lives in Vancouver B.C.) and Fu Wen-long (who I think is still in China). Fu Yong-hui (Fu Wing-fei) was Bow Sim Mark's primary teacher.
the circling is to gauge your opponent, and is most often used in sparring. Obviously in the street its different then again in the street someone attacking you most often then not only knows how to street fight if it can so called be fighting, and will be bewildered, and on the ground before they can think with some simple tai chi
Sorry I got cut off there. I was saying don't use CZcams as a reference for internal because chances are that you will never see a good internal guy here. Go out and experience internal yourself with a good master. Play with him a bit, you will see the difference between internal and external.
His link between form and applications is very instructive. I much prefer this technical approach to push hands over the meandering, water-like approach with incessant twisting. Do you have the actual title of the video? It seems strange to me that it is titled as simplified tai chi. I'm not sure what the author meant by the word simplified because this type of application is never associated with the simplified form.
+Mathrgenius It is simplified taiji because all the movements come from simplified form Taiji 24, which is trained by old people for "health's sake". There are many hidden treasures inside the so-called "healthy gymnastics for elderly people"
@Moodo1 nice essay, but you still did not define a "real" punch. is it a short jab, a swing, a punch from the waist or an internal punch from wing chun or tai chi ?? besides that i teach wing chun myself and i say lots of those techniques are very close to the ones of wing chun. and if you really are a wing chun (not WT or EWTO) instructor, and if you allready common with the whole system, you should know how and why those kind of techniques work.
So why is tai chi called the ultimate fist If ultimately you never throw a fist...? I study bak hsing choy lee fut and I don't get how these slow movements can ward off a good offence.
Not for nothing, maybe the narration is out of sink with the video in one instance, but starting at 1:55 that is not "Wave hands like clouds" it is "Single Whip", I'm surprised no one else brought it up. You literally see the crane beak's grip at 2:01, full posture in pose at 2:09...Great video tho
Not only did I not contradict myself, but I brought a ton more proof to the argument than you did. In fact, you basically said nothing other than "prove it", which I did. You're just a troll.
It's not a matter of getting it. Your comment in the way you worded it, was simply misleading. There's a qualitative difference between winning a tournament after fighting multiple opponents vs fighting one guy after he already beat everyone else. The book says the match between the young man and Fu lasted ten rounds and the "win" was basically Fu throwing him to the ground. That's cool that you studied for so long with his grandson...hardly justifies a subjective comment of a "superior" MA.
If you are shoong. Really shoong. It shouldn't matter what your opponent does. If your imagination can go beyond the attack stage, and your body can adapt to the 5 elements, you will be invincible.
Hey tommy i was recently chatting with victor fu and i asked what his grand father first studied we all assumed chen style but he said no bagua from cheng ting hua so maybe you should update his wiki page...cuz the whole classs was incorrect i think we all had our info from the wiki page haha
@MrBloodFight Push Hands is not about technique, it is a way of testing internal stength. It is not about what if he does this or what if he does that. In a real situation you are only going to use maybe 4 so called techniques in your life. Tai chi is about many different things but starts with making your health better, then if practised properly and long enough you build internal power, then doesnt matter if you get hit or you hit he will pay. Your body should react naturally,( no thought
nice! That high horse leg catch + sweep/body weight transfer was amazing when he tried to slam him to the ground from above his head!
This is real tai chi and something I would like to learn
this is so far the better video i've watch about tai chi combat
Same here.
This is the definition of Martial Arts. It's beautiful
this is the most practical applications of tai chi ive ever seen
I just love the flow of tai chi and the use of direction the enemies potential energy to inflict damage upon themselves. Sorry for my improper grammar.
I am miss very much my FATHER and BROTHER. Thank you for upload this old video.
Is this your father and brother
Some nice simple applications - a pleasure to watch
You're so right there Robert. And as always the simpler the better. Also like watching your stuff on the tube. Doing any more?
Marvelous ! In a sea of BS Chi video's this is a rare island of solid martial arts.

Look for Chen style applications. And Chen masters.

This is great! Thank you!!
Great application video!😮

Excellente pushing arms ,thanks for demonstration and posting.(soluu huong)
sweet, never thought of a lot of that stuff.
It's being down slow for you benefit, as the precision of movements are key.
the circling is to gauge your opponent, and is most often used in sparring. Obviously in the street its different then again in the street someone attacking you most often then not only knows how to street fight if it can so called be fighting, and will be bewildered, and on the ground before they can think with some simple tai chi
I liked this master teach slow 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 thank you
@GTneos
Notice how his body winds to the back of his opponent before throwing the sweep?
Amazing video
Sorry I got cut off there. I was saying don't use CZcams as a reference for internal because chances are that you will never see a good internal guy here. Go out and experience internal yourself with a good master. Play with him a bit, you will see the difference between internal and external.
Excellent video thanks
O taí chi e é uma das artes marciais muitas conservação e pura verdade de calma e harmonia

Very nice!
The best martial arts are where you don't even have to fight your opponent.
marvellous! thanks very much.
Una maravilla me encanta
Very well demonstrated.⭕™
Very good
NICE VIDEO THANKS FOR SHARING!
I would too at his age!!
I want to wear those blue pants, but i'm looking forward in have wedgy when i wear em.
This is an art in which movements are designed as if they were chesses on a chess board. Sticking a gun at others is violence.
Very clear!!!!
So why is tai chi called the ultimate fist If ultimately you never throw a fist...? I study bak hsing choy lee fut and I don't get how these slow movements can ward off a good offence.
Love this.he great
Does anyone know who Master Fu's teacher was? Or his links with Wu style?
Very Good.
@eddiedaskull
thats something, i also experienced. the chi works best, when the attack comes too fast to think about it.
Not for nothing, maybe the narration is out of sink with the video in one instance, but starting at 1:55 that is not "Wave hands like clouds" it is "Single Whip", I'm surprised no one else brought it up. You literally see the crane beak's grip at 2:01, full posture in pose at 2:09...Great video tho
Nice app thank you for sharing

老師父的招式都是沒直接搏殺，這樣容易有打不完的架？第一招如果可以扣下來，直接膝頂面門，秒殺！

Thats a good one!!
Not only did I not contradict myself, but I brought a ton more proof to the argument than you did. In fact, you basically said nothing other than "prove it", which I did.
You're just a troll.
2:36 cant be used for brock lessnar's F5

@TietCanhVit With minimal effort like here? Taichi people will point out subtle differences so say that after you've experienced the style
wow oww wwo ! this is my faverite fighting.
Hola mucho gusto es un placer saludarle mi estimado amigo
