Echoing what others have said, I love the detailed walk through of the exact steps to take and how to take them. Maybe I'm OCD but with my Tai Chi (unlike other areas of my life) I want to know exactly how to do it so I can optimize the benefits. I got the link to this video from a friend but I'm definitely subscribing to your channel!
So what is it? Is it Tai Chi or Qigong? Last I checked, there is no such thing as Tai Chi Qigong. Or is this one of your own inventions? If yes, good for you, but do you mind not calling it Tai Chi? Because this sure ain't Tai Chi, even if it's used as an adjective.
Thank you for your comment. This form was a modern development in China to assist people in healing from illness and injury. It has components of Qigong and Tai chi. I learned it directly from Wudang Taoist priest and Tai chi master Yun, Xiang Tseng. This is what he told me is the name of the form. To honor his teaching I will continue to call it that.
@@taichivermont To me, it's much more like another person in China cashing in on all the buzzwords, "Tai chi", "Qigong", "Wudang", "Taoist", "healing"; seriously, they are everywhere, and it's gone out of hand... And I always wondered how these "Wudang" taoists became "Tai Chi masters". Is there a certificate program? And what exactly make this "Tai Chi Qigong" Tai Chi? Seriously, you weren't even moving your feet. At most, you swing your arms, and what makes it Tai Chi? I understand your intention to be respectful to your "teacher", but the flip side of the coin is that there is an overabundant water-down of Tai Chi everywhere in the world right now, especially all these RU-vidrs/TikTokers/IG'ers creating their own routines with Tai Chi in the name. It's totally fine that someone wants to make a living in the new media with exercise routines, but seriously everything has "Tai Chi" in the title. As a diligent practitioner of Tai Chi, are you ok with that?
@stefanx5470 I stand by my original response , my teachers authenticity and decline to be drawn into an online debate with you. I sincerely wish you well in your continued practice
This is a great exercise, as I have very poor proprioception this helps me really feel and actually know where my arms are. gonna try this for the legs as wel!
I'm a novice and you are the best instructor for me. I especially like the simpler movements that I can do without moving my legs like "Move Hands like Clouds". If nothing else, I'll do that in the morning.
Lovely visual but with the stream flowing behind you, I can't hear you well. I wanted to share your video with our Tai Chi class participants. Perhaps you have another video sharing the same information that would be easier for them to hear. Please feel free to reach out to me. Thank you!

Hello. Thank you for your feedback. Generally each video I make is one of a kind. I have learned over the years to be more mindful of background noise. Since this video was produced so long ago and I have continued to practice and learn perhaps it is time to revisit this subject with my more developed understanding. Keep a look out for it to be posted.
My instructors taught us this, it is "Pai Da", (拍打), literally to pat and hit. In the park we call it "Pai Pai" (拍拍). Nice clip, thank you for sharing !
The best way to practice the Taichi and the walking is on water. So if you can find a descent water fall and not too deep place is a nice way to practice the form. Remember Taichi is not about the air. Is about fluidity. So 3 to 4 feet pool or river is great. Also on water you will find the right amount of resistance you need for the form. Just do it and let it flow. Your welcome
Thank you for breaking this down to the most basic steps. I really needed that! Also, I appreciate the information as well as the silent demonstration. In demonstrating it both ways my mind can understand the mechanics and my body can observe and quietly follow without being overwhelmed. Well done.
T’ai Chi , what you call tai chi walking. Moving along being a tai chi practitioner for over 20 yrs. Trained with Steven Lanzarone whom was taught and trained by Sifu Leonard Antonucci. Mr Antonucci was taught by Cheng man Ching. In CHINA TOWN New York City in the early 70’s. Walking Tai chi is the posture positioning in every movement of the form. With all due respect these are practiced in actual stepping, push, withdraw and so on!, thanks for an added moving exercise to stimulate the Chi!
