Thank you :)

 

Yes, you are right. Unfortunately not many practitioners know about a complete traditional practice of Taiji Quan Yang style which includes not only the slow form, but a number of other forms and methods, where one can work on strength, speed, agility, quick execution of movements with a focus on the release of the power issuing (Fajin); there is also training of fast and precision buffets, work out weight etc.

Even direct transfer cannot always guarantee the completeness in studying of the art.

yes thats true, ive seen that for a long time here in the states most who practice taichi only practice the soft flowing movements with no internal basis. not many know that its even a fighting art. much less one that has many variants, chin na application, hand strikes, kicks and much much more. im glad to see another that practices this way..

My Silat teacher does something similar. Holding weights while doing the movements slowly. Cool stuff. :)

 

My 2 cents, Peace

On the video you can see 4 variations of the direct kick:
- just direct kick
- direct kick with hand movements
- direct kick with hand movements and stop after kick
- direct kick with hand movements from lower stance

Any chance you could post a video of your medicine ball work? I'd appreciate it. I've been using mine again for a few weeks, doing moves I learned in a taiji ball worshop (which were based around shaolin white Crane that I've learned from the same teacher) but have experimented a little and found the teacup moves do more for me.

 

I'd really like to see what you do! Thanks
