Cuatro Plazas GM Tung also had a son that he posted his video on youtube...this dude's name is Tung Hu Ling...Tung Kay Ying had a studio is West L.A. area.... if you happen to be is Los Angeles, go ahead take a look at his place... I only heard from others. Every student of Yang style discipline...plays differently compare to their masters...a slight variation here n there that the masters let them slide or could not really careless... over the years, the form look slightly different. You need to find out your main goal of learning the taiji routines... taichi for health; taichi for self-defense; taichi for competition and stage performance or taichi for meditation. To me, these are the four different areas of doing the taichi set routine. I do not do the self-defense aspect of taiji form. I lost interest after my oldest brother became a bully in school and caused so much heartaches to my parents.:-) He learned the martial arts as self-defense and never learned the true learning - defeating oneself first. I am not interested in that area; but I do practice the other three areas of taiji routine daily.
Kailey Dong Yes, nice music :-) Nice Form? Well...we can have different opinion. I doubt the leaning forward postures are typical of Yang style. I thought Wu style is more likely :-) At minute 5;45// he forgot the sequence but recovered nicely...
Cuatro Plazas I have seen so many black-n-white movies of these kind of performances... your comment : nice form and very powerful.. nice form relates to the artistic part of the sequence... powerful form relates to the technical aspect of his execution??? The music...hmmmm chinese = I have no objection because I use chinese melodies when playing taiji set routines.... ' this video is different - the music portion is added later on before uploading.... whereas in my practice, music is the boat that I stand on and it will carry me in my journey of taiji experience.... music plays a big part in my routine, it will dictates the pace, the emotional aspect of the movements, the tempo of how the movements are executed. If there is no music... it is fine also because the music is within me already. I have never seen any old video clips that I like from these so-called experts. :-)... the older the performers, the more terrible looking were their performances. :-)
