But when one reads them through rose colored glasses what they see are roses.

Are you going to let the rose colored glasses to deceive you or your own mind.....????

A lot of people have.

 

But although I do wear glasses it is for clarification rather than delusion.

Turns out that once upon a time all Tai Chi was practiced swiftly. The "grand" master injured himself. When he recouped enough to start back practicing, he could only do the forms slowly as it hurt him to do them very fast. Everyone thought that the "grand" was doing something they didn't know about so they copied him. And now it is done slowly.

In reality I have seen Tai Jee done VERY fast, but only after it was learned.

 

 

LOL

 

In truth every form of the taiji (it's made out of individual shapes, 24, 36, 85, 99, 108...) is so complex in it's articulation, learning taiji is like learning to walk again. Differently.

This minds me of the way Sun Lu Tang spoke of form as the aquisition of a specific body.

So the matter of velocity becomes different in different shapes.

Apples and oranges are laughing at us somewhere.

LOL ... I will raise the stakes here Vitalli ... here's what Taijiquan actually looks like in a real fight:

 

I know how looks like taiji fight and when people come to my classes they also can see it.

You obviously have a camera and know how to produce videos ... I would be very interested in seeing a clip of you and your students doing some solid sparring.

When I make video with real sparring I'll upload it to my YouTube channel.
