Interested in exploring Tai Chi push hands but don't have a partner or feeling intimidated to begin? Try this SOLO push hands experience. Tai Chi is an internal martial art and to do the movements properly, your form needs to be able to withstand someone pushing and pulling at you everywhere, all the time, as you move. This is the push hands practice of Tai Chi. Even if you do not have a partner to practice Push Hands, there is plenty you can explore through solo exercises. In this video we will provide a safe space to put you through fear experiences where you will feel a loss of balance and teach you slight adjustments so you can respond with ease instead of stress.

I love the point you made that most of our real-life conflict is verbal or social, not physical conflict--a VERY important point.

Top tips, I love your knee work, spot on as some don't understand leg vulnerability to attack especially from behind from bad posture that can become ingrained if not corrected . The back leg rear knee should never get broken from the blind spot lower knee attack just a slight turn of the knee turn forward saves the joint from a dreadful long term damage break in real combat.

@AipingTaiChi Год назад

Thank you 🙏❤ I think because of my 3 knee surgeries, I'm always looking out for proper knee alignment in myself and my students.

Can't remember the exact video of yours, but the music in there was beautiful and really good for tai chi or meditation. Can you send some links to the music or at least the names of the songs and artists so we can find them to listen to while practicing? I especially love the higher pitch bamboo flute (dizi?) Music. That instrument is like medicine. It just helps me relax and move my body better. I have trouble finding genuine music like this anywhere, including RU-vid. There's mostly just imitations that aren't even half as good. Appreciate your teaching and tutorials.

@AipingTaiChi Год назад

@@curtis5985 yes! Many of the in-person classes I teach in the school are also available to attend online. My recent RU-vid videos and shorts are all from recordings from the classes. You can see our class schedule on our site: aipingtaichi.com. We use a system called Punchpass for class reservations and payments. The system shows which classes are available to attend online and when you reserve your spot, you will automatically see the Zoom link in the class details and you will also get the link in an email. I also make recordings of the classes available for you to rewatch and practice for 2 week after class. You can get a one week trial pass for $1 to try any and all of our classes for a week: aipingtaichi.punchpass.com/passes/143040. Hope to see you online in class!

@@AipingTaiChi Sifu, I looked on line at your website and am interested in the Yang 108. I don't see it listed as multi-week course (like 24 weeks to learn it). How would I approach signing up to learn the entire Yang 108 Long Form. TIA

@theo9845 3 года назад

Another great explanation of movement adaptation to external forces. I've been practicing taijiquan for three and a half years and have gone through a process of learning the eight, sixteen, twenty four, thirty two, fourty two and the long forms of the Yang style. One area that have not included in practice is pushing hands and as a consequence, I now see, where my practice is deficiently at fault. Although I come from a background of martial arts and my learning process of taiji was facilitated by it, nevertheless, luck of practicing in pushing hands is evident in understanding the values of force and deflection etc. Thank you once more, your guidance is invaluable ...

@AipingTaiChi 3 года назад

Thank you so much ❤️ Yes, so often Tai Chi is taught like an external martial art and you just learn form choreography after choreography. Our master's approach was so different. In our school you don't even learn any forms until a good 4-6 months of basic movements training and then spend the next year just on that one 10-movement form. We won't even start a student on the long form until at least 3 years of study or when principles are solid. We actually lose many students because they want to learn many forms quickly but we don't want to do teach choreography, we want to teach understanding. Thank you so much for your words of support and encouragement 🙏

@theo9845 3 года назад

Thank you for your reply. I totaly agree with your approach to learning. The basics of posture, movement, transition to the realization of what each movement

@theo9845 3 года назад

It is aiming for, it takes time to learn. For me personally and at a tender age of sixty four, the challenge was to get back to physical as well as mental fitness. Memorizing all these forms, the names of every move, is a challenge nonetheless. Taiji Quan is a lifelong learning art form. I can go on and on about my personal experience and involvement with this martial art form, but I'll say for certain, it's very addictive. Thank you for helping and contributing to our learning curve.

Barely done any formal tai chi training but I do remember how much easier it was for some of the other [older] students to easily break my posture. My stuff doesn’t look as graceful because I’m not all bendy but I do a lot of qigong (started almost 2 years ago). I like to think my flexibility of mind is good even if my flexibility of my body hasn’t caught up yet.

@AipingTaiChi Год назад

Flexibility in mind is just as important as flexibility of body. I've found that flexibility of body can be increased just through daily practice but an inflexible mind is much harder to change so you're ahead of the game :)

@AipingTaiChi 6 месяцев назад

Thank you 🙏❤️ Tai Chi martial art utilizes Tai Chi philosophy. Tai Chi philosophy is based on the understanding of the Yin Yang symbol which is one of the oldest Chinese symbols and part of Taoism/Daoism. Tao te Ching / Dao de Jing is a Taoist/ Daoist text so they are related by philosophy. They can enhance understanding of the other

Aiping Tai Chi is not a very good channel name… It sounds like sth different in English. Especially confusing when you're wearing a shirt which says "Shirley". Just saying...

@AipingTaiChi Год назад

Our channel name is our school name. Aiping Tai Chi was founded in 1996 by our master Aiping Cheng. I (Shirley) took over the school from her in 2017. I am not the founder, I am the current head of the school.
