Yang Family Tai Chi Discussion Board

Greetings, Self-testing in martial arts is patently an absurd proposition. Intuition in martial arts is also a ludicrous concept. As to your belief that just doing and practising Taiji alone will provide you with superior strength and energy is quite misguided. What you think, is not what is . You ...

Of course [it is obvious that] unhealthy people can get healthier by practicing many things, including TJQ, but that does not automatically mean that they can fight once they become healthy. The comparison with Hung Kuen was, AFAICT, simply an example of a training system that includes progressions...

In Tai Chi, it can be practice at any physical condition. Unfortunately, the advancement depends on the initial physical condition of the practitioner. If a person is weak to begin with, by practicing for a long time, then the physical fitness will be improved progressively. Hence, it takes longer ...

I am telling what it is. Can anyone tell me what it is not? :lol: :lol: :lol: The “Boxers” believed that their martial art training made them invulnerable to bullets, and it is unlikely that any words could have convinced them otherwise; but they learned the truth when the bullets ripped through th...

IMO, training for fighting requires to put these 4 mentioned attributes under development, test & pressure. I don´t know how the advanced practioners of tjq do that, but in hung kuen kung fu we have methods to start from light to full contact, from the very basic to the more elaborated techniqu...

CMC learnt Tai Chi from Yang Cheng Fu and developed his own style. The CMC Yang style Tai chi.

I also teach energy movement.

I think this is a brilliant idea; and it is very effective, most definitely, for the teachers and students.

I need to get real with you perhaps.....

PS Why do you loose your cool all the time?

The design of the Yang style Tai Chi Sabre is well balanced. It weights two and half(2.5) pounds and was made for an one-hand operation. The point of balance is three(3) inches from the hand guard. The YSTC sabre is well balanced at the hand grip. The blade is tapper. It can be moved freely because...

In comparison, the Katana was made for combat; and the YSTC sabre was designed for the purpose of Tai Chi practice. I really do not understand the point of this comment. Do you think that the practice dao design is somehow better for learning TJQ that if someone used a historically accurate reprodu...
