Ursus mellifera

Tai Chi dead zone

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

 

I want to learn Tai Chi and Qi Gong, but I don't live anywhere near anyplace that teaches them. I'm hoping that some of you know some good online resources that I can use to teach myself. It's not ideal, but it's currently my only option.

 

Thanks in advance!

For yang style I'd recommend Adam Mizner's Discover Taiji.

https://discovertaiji.com/en

 

For Chen, perhaps Fang Yuan

--edit, goes without saying that you'll need hands-on instruction at some point, not only to correct choreography, but - more importantly - to teach you how to properly generate force. 

 

That said, it's still worth learning online, but I'd definitely recommend attending some seminars and retreats

I'll recommend Temple Style Taichi by Master Waysun Liao

https://taichitao.tv

 

Here are some free videos you can check out, and see if it appeals to you -- https://www.taichitao.tv/categories/free-video-audio

 

Or Mark Rasmus' system

And some free videos from Rasmus -- https://www.youtube.com/user/sifumarkrasmus

 

 

If you like the more physical-oriented taichi, look at the practical method by Master Chen Zhonghua

Online learning TJQ? You’ll only learn to dance; for the deep stuff you need a good teacher; however better dancing than doing NOTHING. :)

 

Search for Ian Sinclair (Yang style) on YT. He has the full Beijing 24 set. Taught in detail showing various body angles which is unusual. They are placed near the bottom of his playlist. FREE of charge.

 

Good luck bro :)

Tai Chi is often thought of as being quintessential of China, entailing the principles of Yin and Yang from the I Ching, (the Book of Changes), rooted in Chinese medicine (meridians and specific names of vessels), with the meditative aspect of its practice in focusing on the breath. Tai Chi is a comprehensive study and characterized by the interaction of the energies of Yin and Yang.
