OldDog Posted November 4, 2018 Interesting video. I have a lot of respect for CZL. This video has to be understood in the right way. It is not a discussion about macro/microcosmic orbit. It is a discussion about traditional taiji training methods contrasted with the macro/microcosmic orbits. The discussion may have been prompted by a question about the macro/microcosmic orbits but I do not think that was the main point. Still though a very nice video. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeform Posted November 4, 2018 Yeah - what he’s saying contradicts what the majority of modern schools teach. The orbits open automatically as a result of building the body in the correct way. If you move the Qi with conscious intention, then you can create serious deviations as well as temporary results. He then talks about slowing the breath. But again it’s important to point out that the breath slows of its own accord as a result of correct training - this isn’t consciously controlled. Good video, thanks for posting.
