+aeortiz2004 Hey, thanks!

The 24 Form is based on Yang-style forms. Exactly the same, just less of them.

Jon, can tai chi be done without any of the spiritual aspects it embodies

Kristin yes tai chi can be done with out the spiritual aspects however it will be like practicing swimming 🏊‍♀️ without getting into the water 💧.You can practice swimming in shallow water, and work your way to deeper and wider , no problem follow your experience. Any of the martial arts 🥋 practiced with out the spiritual aspects you’re just doing calisthenics. ( You know how to swim, but you’ve never actually been in the water.) Or I believe in God I’ve read the 10 commandments but I don’t listen 👂 to God or obey the 10 commandments.🗡📖🙏🏿👌🏿❤️👍🏿😎🌹

@@jonathanbaker7854 Yes, that's what I thought. I respect the tradition and I would feel disrespectful just going through the movements. My Y asked me to learn and teach it, and the more I learn, the deeper it gets. I want to help my seniors with balance but I just can't get right with it in my head because I have conflicting beliefs. Any thoughts? And than you so much for your prompt response.

ooooo was that an emoji sentence telling me it's cool?

Kristin Here you go, my explanation was not to venture into right or wrong. This can be done ✅, when you start out with a calm and quiet 🤫 demeanor you will notice a meditative state. (1 of the 5. You can look up the 5 types on “Bright side or Brainy dose. I don’t know 🤷‍♂️ which one you’re more prone too.) you would now be swimming in 4 foot water 💧 in a swimming 🏊‍♀️ pool. No problem you won’t get swept out to sea. But what I had a hard time with when I started Kung-fu was being a perfectionist with the moves. Obviously 🙄 this is practicing swimming without getting in the water 💧. What learned was this wasn’t really necessary slow and easy mentally or on paper 📝 note mistakes correct them progress will come in both areas stress free. You don’t have to be a master to teach or learn. You will see and feel the automatic integration of breathing and the meditative state. When you can and you will know and feel (hay I can swim 🏊‍♂️ from New York to England.) the next level let your conscience and confidence be your guide. That was what I learned when I got out of the perfectionist right or wrong zone. Happy 😃 training.🌹👌🏿❤️👍🏿😎

#dogen522 BEAUTIFUL ...! @Nana Sheridan

Its relative to your goals with the form. Her school has a higher more upright stance when teaching beginners (which this DVD is for), and a lower deeper stance when performing martial applications.

I see... thanks for answering!

....lol

@@stevepark2643 rather weird response 6 years later

簡体字の24ポーズの太極拳の形は、太極拳を推進するために、1956年に中国スポーツ委員会によって編纂されました。 24-姿勢の太極拳の形は、伝統的なヤン様式の太極拳の長い形に由来しています。彼女の父親は、創設時にこの書類を教えるコーチであり、彼女は金メダリストのカンフーマスターです。

ご教授有難うございます。他の方と違って大学は理工系なのでポーズの因果を考えて仕舞いますが、 今ジムで週三回レッスン受けている先生は、楊名時先生系統で詳しく因果関係の説明受けています。 中國から日本に伝わった太極拳は三浦英夫先生が詳しく説明された図書が有り、太極拳の奥の深さ を実感して居ます。レッスンに参加する友人達は１０以上続けており、私は2年経過しました。

Shut up!

+MoebiusSound Here's some of the attention you're looking for. Have a happy day.

+BLT4LIFE fuck off!

+MoebiusSound I love you too.

Tai Chi is a daily practice, a discipline of the body & mind that offers an opportunity, to relax both the mind & body, in addition to experiencing it's many health benefits. To solve life's problems one needs to change their mindset. That comes from examining one's own mind, the thought patterns & reactions that arise when life's problems present themselves. Tai Chi, Moving Meditation, can get the ball rolling to where one is not bombarded by one's own judgments, unpleasant thoughts & feelings. Eventually the practice does change you & how you think & approach problems & life. There will always be problems--it's how you react to them.

+Tan Pham This is not an instructional video. Its an artistic look at her form. The DVD contains a non-moving camera shot of her instruction.

Helen has a DVD of the 48 form, but not the 108.www.amazon.com/Simplified-Tai-Chi-Beginners-Form/dp/B01DAUJY1C
